    I love my cast iron pans. They are great for cooking steaks.

    Italian dressing is commonly used in pasta salads. :)

    Making your own dressing is probably tastier though. I'm actually not a very big fan of pasta salad. I prefer macaroni salad with Miracle Whip. I know, I know, unhealthy, but really good. I put celery, red peppers, red onion, some celery salt, regular salt, pepper and hard boiled eggs cut up as well as tuna. Yum! I made two batches last week. The first batch was ruined because I put in these bonnet peppers which I was told were not very hot, but they were VERY hot! I couldn't even eat them. My mouth and lips were on fire! So I made a new batch sans hot peppers. :D

    I don't make many pasta salads. It just isn't something I do. So I really don't know how.

    Yeah, me neither because I don't care for pasta salad that much.

    I don't care for miracle whip. I would much rather use whipped cream. But i do like to make a variation of Waldorf salad. Cut up crisp red apples, add red and green seedless grapes, raisins, pecans, and cover with mayo mixed with sugar to taste...love it.

    Lol! I LOVE Miracle Whip in some things, like egg salad or macaroni salad, but I prefer regular mayo when having a tuna sandwich. Have you ever cut up some pickles (sweet or dill - doesn't matter) and put that in your tuna. It tastes SO much better with some pickles in there. :)

    I usually use pickle relish. I just canned a bunch along with my other pickles. Also use it for chicken salad or ham salad.

    Sounds good! I like any kind of fruit salad. I usually make mine with just berries, raspberries, strawberries, black berries and lots of sugar. Sugar and sweets - - my weakness.

    Why sugar it? There was a really interesting program here called "The sugar free farm"

    https://angeliquepanagos.com/sugar-free-farm-home/

    Sugar like salt is something that the more we have the less we taste. 2-3 weeks without sugar and suddenly you have reset your tastebuds to Wow!!

    Especially candy and chocolate, cookies and cake for me. I would say chocolate is almost an addiction. :laughing:

    If I eat donuts, it's usually the glazed or chocolate frosted and sometimes the jelly munchkins (I don't like the big jelly donuts), but today I had a strawberry frosted donut. OMG, so good.

    :roflol:That reminded me of when my nephew had to talk me through my computer problems by phone (I'm so thick with computers you wouldn't believe it! [​IMG] ). The exchanges would go something like this:

    Him: 'First you have to do A.'
    Me: 'Right, I've done that.'
    Him: 'Well done - now do B.'
    Me: 'Done!'
    Him: 'Excellent. Now do C, then hit Return.'
    Me: 'Nope, it's still not working.'
    Him: 'Still not working? That's funny, it should be! Did you do D?'
    Me: 'No.'
    Him: 'Why not?'
    Me: 'You didn't tell me to.'
    Him: 'Well I thought you'd know that!' :rolleyes:

    Besides the tuna, it sounds and looks like it would be great.

    Okay, to be fair, my source was talking about English cakes. But, I feel the difference between 'Merican Bri'ish cakes is small. :p

    I've never had an "English" cake, so I couldn't say. What is different? Cake is cake. It's made from flour, eggs, sugar, leavening, butter, etc. *shrugs*

    No, cake is not cake. It is like saying food is food. Every country obviously has their own specialities and tricks. I cannot remember exactly why he found "English cake" to be bad, but he said the cakes in Sweden are much better.
