Macaroni, cheese and bacon salad

Macaroni salad in the Philippines is almost always taken to mean “chicken and macaroni salad” — shredded chicken meat, pineapple tidbits and macaroni are tossed with mayonnaise. Sometimes, there are additional ingredients like chopped carrot and celery or, sometimes, to add sweetness, raisins are thrown in. In fact, the Filipinos so love everything sweet that sweetened condensed milk is sometimes stirred into the mayo before the solid ingredients are tossed in.

Personally, if I want a dessert salad, I’d choose fresh fruit salad. With macaroni salad, I prefer a little sweetness but I want it to still be savory. And for variety, I don’t always add chicken to macaroni salad. I’ve tried tuna and it’s good. Salty ham is even better. Meatless macaroni salad is great too.

This version of macaroni salad is savory as savory can be. It has bacon and cheese. And, for maximum flavor, the pasta is tossed with a little bacon fat before everything else goes in. It’s really good.

Stuffing cannelloni is not hard. Stuff them without cooking. Lay them on a baking dish, smother with sauce, bake and let the pasta cook in the sauce. That's how I cooked my spinach and cream cheese stuffed cannelloni with meat sauce.

Take these pancakes, for instance. They smelled and tasted like apple pie. The trick? A little cinnamon and nutmeg. The blueberries are a bonus.»
