Stuff to eat
The weekend having arrived, I will suggest some good things to eat that are easy to fix.
Texas caviar
2 cups cooked black eyed peas, well-drained
1 can white shoepeg corn, well-drained
1 can black beans, well-drained
1 green bell pepper, chopped fine1 Vidalia onion, chopped fine
2 roasted garlic cloves, chopped fine
Mix all together. Pour on a small bottle of Italian dressing and toss. Chill for a couple of hours at least. Serve with corn chips. (The scoops are best)
You can mix the veggies with salsa or pico de gallo instead of the Italian dressing. This is a recipe that can be adjusted any whichway you like.
Tuna Macaroni Salad
Depending on your point of view, this is tuna salad with macaroni added, or pasta salad with tuna added. Either way, it's cheap and good.
1 (12 ounce) package macaroni
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 (12 ounce) can tuna, drained
1 tablespoon Italian dressing
Sufficient mayonnaise to hold it all together
You can, of course, use ziti or rotini or shells or whatever. I like to sprinkle a can of sliced ripe olives on top. This is best the second day, and is great with sliced Vidalia onions and sliced REAL tomatoes.

I have no GPs. In fact I think that a foolish GP is the hobgoblin of little cooks, and that people should use MW if they prefer.
Despite the way I wrote it,however, this salad really will be better if the macaconi is cooked before you make the salad.
Off to make coffee.
