macaroni salad....

ok, so i am enjoying a bowl of leftover macaroni salad for breakfast......which is an absolutley foolish choice.......not so much because there are more nutritious options in my cupboard..mostly because i was kept awake with the unsavory side-effects of the onions in this recipe........gentle readers....do not mistake my use of the term macaroni salad for pasta salad.....the salad in question uses marzetti's boiled slaw dressing, and requires chopped onion, chopped celery, frozen peas, chopped salad olives and mustard seeds.......and elbow macaroni....for which i substituted a curly tube pasta.......but the result was much like the macaroni salads of my youth........i do not recall this combination every bothering me before.........and i might have slept through it had it not been for the nightowl packing for his trip.......we are so unused to anybody being up and about after 10:30 pm or so that any noise, thump, or creek prompts an adrenilin response.......and for the next 8 weeks we will again settle a threesome that keeps no late hours.......and looking forward to the return of the nightowl........
