Ok, one more recipe. I just love this stuff.
* 1/2 lb of elbow noodles
* 1 cucumbers
* 1 small onion (red is pretty)
* 1 cup your favorite mayonnaise
* Salt / Pepper
* 3 or 4 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
* 3 or 4 Tbsp milk
Cook noodles, dice cucumber, dice small onion extra small, mix in bowl.
Mix together cup of mayo, 2 or 3 tablespoons of vinegar, salt, pepper and 2 or 3 tablespoons of milk to make the dressing. Taste it – you may need/want to add more vinegar. Should be thin enough to pour over macaroni mix. Mix it up and let it sit a while for best tastiness.
Note that I do not like eggs, so there are none in this salad, however, this macaroni salad recipe is particularly forgiving and you can easily add eggs, celery, bell peppers, etc. with a wonderful result.
This is making me hungry just reading it. MMMmmmmm.

Not to be outdone by Danns fantastic sounding fried wontons, I figured since it’s getting colder a little pepper pot would be tasty for those long days where geeking out is making you fiercely hungry.
* 1-2 lbs Ground Beef
* Couple cans cubed Potatoes
* 1 or 2 cans Carrots
* 2 quarts Beef Stock
* 1 Med Onion
* 1 bag Pot-pie noodle squares
* Black pepper
* Red Pepper Flakes
* Hot Sauce
Chop onion and put in large pot with ground beef. Add a couple shots of your favorite hot sauce and a quarter to half teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Brown ground beef with onions in large pot. When beef is cooked, add potatoes and carrots. Cover everything with beef stock until about 3 inches above solid ingredients. Bring to a boil. Turn heat down to simmer and add appropriate amount of noodles. Cook until noodles are tender. Add ground black pepper to taste. Serve!

Boy, I wish I had a picture of this, or maybe smellavision or something to help share with. You’ll just have to trust me.
I have been looking for things to write about this month and, honestly, my topic list is getting pretty low. Then, I ran into Dann’s post about his cooking. Well, I love to cook too! I even did it professionally for a while. I am really into down-home comfort food stuff, and I thought I would share a recipe or two for those of you who are hungry fellows like me.
This is my Mother-in-law’s Hamburger soup recipe.
