Macaroni Salad sounds wonderful. I very seldom make it; I usually make potato salad. I may get brave and try some of the MacaroniPotato salad.

In my potato salad, I do not use a dressing. I use mayo and mustard. I add chopped or sliced olives. I’ve never added vinegar. I need to give that a try.

I checked 123greeting cards and they listed Macaroni Day
and Strawberry Sundae Day in addition to Chocolate Day.

Be really careful on the vinegar. It's one of those things, like salt, that if you get just a tad too much, it will ruin the dish. Go slowly by taste. I use the cap of the bottle of vinegar for measure and if making a bigger salad I use a couple of caps full.

Strawberry Sundae - serves 4

Preparation - 10 minutes, Cooking time - 5 minutes

3/4 cup carton heavy cream
1 tbsp powdered sugar
2 tbsp orange liqueur
8 scoops vanilla ice cream

For the strawberry syrup:
3 cups fresh strawberries
juice of 1/2 lime
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp arrowroot

Begin by making the syrup: save 8 of the best strawberries, then halve the remainder and place in a small pan with the lime juice and sugar. Cook for a few minutes until softened and pulpy.

Push through a fine sieve and return to the pan. Dissolve the arrowroot in a little water and stir the paste into the strawberry mixture. Gently bring to a boil, stirring until slightly thickened then remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Whisk together the heavy cream, powdered sugar and liqueur until it forms soft peaks.

Cut the reserved strawberries into halves or quarters. Place 2 scoops of ice cream in 4 sundae glasses and swirl over the cream, scattering in the strawberries as you go. Drizzle over the cooled syrup and serve for a classic.
