[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]oh boy. How long until mean anti-pasta salad lady creeps up?[/quote]

Haha I am the OP.  I wasnt aware there was a mean anti pasta salad lady.  That is hilarious![/quote]

Go search the archives; it's totally worth it to read her opinions about how anyone who enjoys pasta is worthless trash. I want to say there's something that really gets her goat about cold pasta, and how that's completely contrary to how pasta is intended to be eaten, but I can't remember. I would love to serve her some of the [b]sweet pasta salads [/b]I ate as a Midwestern child, just to see her squirm. They involve Cool Whip, IIRC, which I'm sure she finds a food akin to beating your child with a broom.[/quote]
Oh my god, I tried one of these recently. It was bizarre. Little tiny pasta with cool whip and and pineapple and mini marshmallows. I think it was called Frog Eyes or something? The kids ate it up but I was totally grossed out (and I'm not the crazy pasta salad lady).

I made Pioneer Woman's Spicy Pasta Salad that has chipotle adobo in the dressing and cubes of smoked gouda. I prefer non-mayo pasta salads, but this one was a big hit![/quote]

Ha! That's exactly the sweet salad I'm talking about! We called it Acini de Pepe (which I believe is the name of the pasta). It's so good in the way that those of us who grew up with some processed foods enjoy. Logically I know Cool Whip is sweeteners, oils, and stabilizers - I still like it. Although I don't know the last time I actually bought it[/quote]
