Sugar’s Macaroni salad

For a crowd:
2lbs of pasta, your choice(I use lg. elbow
½ yellow bell pepper,diced
½ red bell pepper,diced
3celery sticks,diced
½ red onion, diced
1 can of Large pitted black olives, sliced(drained)
Mayo(according to taste
Salt & pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:
In a large pot, fill with water adding salt and garlic.
Once it has a rolling boil, add the pasta.
Leave for about 10-15 minutes, checking for doneness and softness.
Once soft, but not falling apart, drain the water,(rinse if desired)
Place pasta in a large bowl, adding mayo and the veggies little by little.
Mixing gently, tasteing for more salt if needed.
Keep adding pasta, mayo, veggies and salt until satisfied.
Remember that it is best to make the night before, letting the flavors sit
in, and in the morning, check for dryness or taste.
Note”
It is always better to be a little on the dry side, that way in the morning,
you may add mor mayo because if you add to much then it is much difficult to
make right;if this does happen, just boil more water and make more pasta.


“May you by your good life show your works
in the gentleness of wisdom. James 3:13”

[CnD] No knead oatmeal bread

[Kathy Brandt via Cookinginthedark]

This was actually the first bread I made, from the New England cookbook, put 
out by national braille press. The smell while baking about sent me into orbit:

Mix in large bowl:
One and a half cups boiling water 1 cup rolled oats 1/3 cup shortening 1/4 cup 
molasses 1 teaspoon salt 
stir these together until well blended. Let stand until Luke warm. Mix: 1 cup 
warm water 
Two packages dry yeast
Blend well and add two other mixture. Stir in: 5 1/4 cups flour
Mix well. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Divide into two greased loaf 
pans. Bake one hour at 350

The recipe doesn't tell you to do this, but from another recipe, after loaves 
bake, I rub butter over them, and cover with a damp towel until cool. This 
prevents the bread from becoming hard.
