Being an editor of Freedom's Phoenix webpage and e-Zine, I have come across a LOT of things. One of the things I enjoy most is finding just the right graphic to portray an emotion that will go along with an article. Many times I come across photos that are just plain silly or weird but I don't necessarily need them right away, so I have created a file with many of those off-beat photos. I would like to share a few of those with you - if nothing else, maybe to give you a laugh :)
Hope you enjoyed these pictures!
Here is a recipe I would like to share with you - it's for pasta salad. I got this recipe from a neighbor of mine where I grew up in Pennsylvania and have been making this for over 30 years. It's a big hit every time!
PASTA SALAD
1 lb. box medium pasta shells, cooked and cooled
1/4 lb. each (cubed):
Provalone Cheese
Salami
Pepperoni
Chop:
1 green pepper
3 stems celery
3 tomatoes
1 small onion (optional)
Slice:
1 can ripe (black) olives
1 small jar green olives
Dressing:
2 Tablespoons Oregano
1 Tablespoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
2/3 cup Olive Oil
1 cup Vinegar
Mix all pasta, vegetables, cheese and olives in a large bowl or pan. Mix dressing separately in a jar or measuring cup - I usually put it in a mason jar and shake it up really good - then add to ingredients in pan/bowl. Mix well.
Tip: I always reserve a little extra green olive juice and pour it over the salad when adding the dressing - I think this is what really gives it a special flavor. ENJOY!
