#MacaroniSalad - Healthy, #LowFat And Crazy-Delicious! lol! #Mustard is the secret #Crunchy #Yum! #PotatoSalad #Salad

Deeeelicious Macaroni Salad -- hardly any fat, tons of veggies -- yum!! You'll love it!

Crunchy, delicious and healthy, too!  I go a lot heavier on the mustard, and only put in a little of the mustard and mayonnaise mix to cover the salad... I just put the extra in the fridge (I mix it directly in the measuring cup). I don't like the Macaroni Salad that is just saturated in mayonnaise... yuck! Too heavy for me -- I like light, crispy, cool, healthy, and this is the best Macaroni Salad, ever : ) The colder this Macaroni Salad gets, the better it is, so I looove to have this for breakfast the following day.. and then I have it, by accident, for lunch and dinner, and possibly all snacks, throughout the day -- it's craaazy delicious!

Cool, Crunchy, low fat and delicious Macaroni Salad - yum!

4 Cups Macaroni (Really, I throw in the whole bag... is okay! lol!)
½ Cup Mayonnaise
1 Cup Mustard (or more... I go heavier on the mustard, just put the mixture on a bit at a time)
2 - 4 tbsp. Montreal Steak Spice
Fresh Black Pepper and Salt to Taste (yum!) (Lots! lol!)

Veggies:

2 Green Peppers, diced
1 Red Pepper, diced
1 Orange Pepper, diced
1 Yellow Pepper, dice (I buy the 6 pack of Peppers, and some green peppers)
4 Green Onions, chopped (Optional, too - see how oniony you want it! lol!)(I skip this, now)
1 Red Onion, diced (Hmmm... maybe 1/2 a Red Onion, diced... put in half, first, see how you feel... : )
Whole Celery Stalk, chopped (Or even more celery... love this bit! lol!)
2 tbsp. Relish

1 tbsp. Diced Dill Pickle (Optional -- I have to put it in because that's what Dwight's Mom used to use, so he likes it!)

Step 1: Cook the Macaroni, then Drain and cool.

Step 2: Mix the Mayonnaise and the Mustard in a large Measuring Cup. Blend in Steak Spice.

Step 3: Prepare Veggies. Toss them into a big (and I mean BIG!) Bowl as you prepare each one.

Step 4: Pour the Mustard/Mayo Mixture onto the Veggies, and mix well.

Step 5: Slowly stir in the Macaroni. Sprinkle with Freshly Ground Pepper. Cover and pop in the Fridge. The colder, the better.

(Or you can add the Macaroni to the Veggies, then add the 'Sauce'. Just put in as much as you like -- I often have a bit left over, and I save that for Sandwiches, since it makes a nice Sandwich Spread, too!)

This is a great make-ahead dish for a BBQ.

I came up with this recipe when Dwight, (now my ex-husband, but he's still a good guy -- no worries! lol!), said he’d really looove some Macaroni Salad, and I had no idea how to make it, but I can’t stand the usual ‘mayo salad’ that is usually served, so I just started experimenting in the Kitchen (that’s basically how all my recipes are ‘born’! ha,ha!), and this is what I came up with – now it’s a family favorite! We even eat this for Breakfast! I happen to love lots of ground pepper on mine and a wee dash of salt, but it’s personal taste, so add it if you love it!

Mix the mayonnaise and the mustard -- I like 2 parts mustard to 1 part mayonnaise, but if this is your first time making it, just play around with the ratio until you get it juuust right for you : ) 

I just sprinkle on the Montreal Steak Spice... use any spice you have on hand, if you can't find the Montreal Steak Spice (although, Montreal steak Spice makes a fantastic chicken and steak marinade, too... is worth looking for at the grocery shop! lol!)

I add the regular relish, and now they make Dill Relish, so no more chopping! lol!  I add about 2 tablespoons of each... yummy!

** **

Yum, this is my favorite bit -- tons of chopped veggies!  This will smell and look sooo delicious -- you might want to eat some, right away! lol!

Gently stir in the cold pasta - I run cold water over the macaroni for about 5 minutes, after it's cooked, and then the colder this macaroni salad is, the more delicious it is, so I put it straight into the fridge : )

Add the mustard and mayonnaise mixture a little at a time... maybe 1/2 cup at a time, to get the right consistency for you : )

** **

Chill and enjoy! I love it for breakfast ... then lunch... dinner... snacks! hahaha! You'll love it, and if you're having this macaroni salad at a BBQ, it'll feed a lot of people -- makes a massive amount!  

This is just delicious! Nice and Crunchy and Cool ... a very nice Summer Dish, but great all year round! And a real 'Crowd Pleaser', too!

Happy Cooking! Ailsa : ) xox!

Yum!  Just in case you want to stop smoking, and have been thinking of switching to e-cigarettes... better air, in and out - lol! : ) To You Health! : )

Otay, 'til the next time we meet again! lol!  Ailsa : )

Oh, and here's a funny little story that happened to us, tonight, on our way back home from a fun afternoon of shopping.... we swung by KFC, since we were totally taken in by their fantastic advertising, which they put on during Big Brother, especially during Big Brother After Dark, and it always looks so delicious to me... anyway, so we swing by KFC to get their fancy Anniversary Bucket, with their new KFC Onion rings, which sound really delicious to us, and we totally want to try it...

So I ordered that in the Drive-thru, the guy says they're all out of the #KFC onion rings, so I said, "Oh, okay, well, is there any chance you still have the Thai Chicken, Sweet Thai Chicken?"  He says, "Oh, sure, we've got lots of Thai Chicken!"  So I say, so surprised, "Oh, that's fantastic!  Could I have half of the 10 piece bucket with the Thai chicken, half with regular chicken, please?"  He says, "Sure, no problem!"  So, I drove up to the window, I'm chatting with the guy, say how excited and happy I am that they have the Sweet Thai Chicken, and he gives me sort of a funny look, like, she really looves her chicken...

So, here's the bit that really broke me up - he says, "Too bad you just missed our deal - we had that Chicken on sale for 10 pieces for $5, last week."  I said, "What?  10 pieces for $5?"  Mah' mind is getting clearer, at this point... then I said, "So, I'm getting the Sweet Chili Thai Chicken, the really spicy one, right?"  He gives me a funny look, says, "Yes, the Chicken Thighs...."

Sooo, all that time, he thought I was asking for 'those sweet chicken thighs' - bah'hahahahahaha!  So that totally made me laugh... when we both realized the error, he gave me a bucket of the regular KFC Chicken, instead - hilarious!  So funny!  Made'a me laugh! Was a little language barrier - so silly - lol! : )

Oh, and here's a little way you can 'doctor up' your potato salad or macaroni salad you might get at KFC, or anywhere else - take it home and add in some mustard, lots of pepper and some salt - deeeelish!  Gives it such a great flavor! Yum!

You can easily doctor up your Potato Salad, too - you know the one you might pick up at the store, or get at the Drive-Thru? Bring it home, add mustard, chopped Red Peppers, crumbled Bacon - or all of the delicious veggies I always put in mah' fave Macaroni Salad - so good! Crunchy, delicious - you'll loove it! 

I just had a little bit of bacon left, so I had a little, and my son had the rest - that's how it goes, in my' house - lol! Most for the boy, some for me : ) 

And I like Potato Salad on its own, I guess, but mostly I like Potato Salad when it's all doctored up, the way I like it - and then lots of pepper and some salt, to taste.... : )

For the record, this is a fair sized bowl - the medium bowl, if you have the regular set of bowls, small, medium and large - for the Macaroni salad, I need to use the giant pot I make the macaroni in, AND, the very biggest bowl I have, it makes soo much, so I make that to share with my lovely daughter and her wonderful husband - they love it, too! lol! 

Oh, and did I already say, Montreal Steak Spice? That's a staple, in our house, too - delicious on pretty much everything! : )

And, there's another excuse to add a little bacon to your life, if you happen to love bacon - haha! 

But you don't have to add the bacon, just go straight up veggies, and the mustard : ) 

Enjoy, my little Culinary Friend! BBQ Friend? Both?? haha! Ailsa : ) 

A Little More Love Advice : ) #Weddings #Marriage #Vows #Relationships #Love #AbusiveRelationships

And now a little more advice... hey, give a girl a platform, you know she's gonna use it (yes, I'm still talking about meself, but bizarrely enough, now in third person...).


Maybe take some courses, get yourself all ready to leave... 

Thought this was a good place to dispel that stupid old idea that 'There's someONE for everyone...'. I can't stand that crazy notion -- I think it only serves to keep people with someone who is absolutely not right for them, given that the phrase indicates there will only be ONE for you. Nonsense! There are Billions of people in the world -- there are lots of choices for every one of us, so you should never fear that you won't find someone else -- of course you will. You just need to keep your head up and your heart open and WHAMMO, your next 'someone special' will come along! YaaHooo!

No - this is CRAZY! No one should ever be told to go on and live with the devil... crazy (did I already say Crazy? Because that's CRAZY - lol! Get out, be safe, you'll be much happier! : )

Also, my Mum always used to say, "The Devil you Know's better than the Devil you Don't". It's a Scottish saying, and another one that drove me up the wall (not any more... I'm a bit older, and a whole lot wiser, and this stuff just rolls off my back, now, but that the time, it was tough to deal with...) -- My response was always the same, and it continues to be -- "I'd rather live alone than with any Devil!". And that's true. Just another old saying meant to create enough fear in women to make them stay in a difficult relationship.

Okay, if you're in hell, right now, or have been in pure hell in a relationship, dis' might make you laugh... #FeelBetter! : )

Well, I think I'm on a bit of a rant, now, so I might as well tackle a more controversial subject -- the Marriage Vows. Really, who came up with 'For Better or Worse'?? How much Worse, you should ask. There's many a Batterer who has used this phrase against his wife... When Dwight and I got married, and the Minister said "For Richer or Poorer", I couldn't repeat the phrase... I don't want or need to be with someone else (see the emphasis on the else?? That's a little reference to my horrible first marriage...) who would impoverish me. No thank you. I'm a well educated, fully employable woman, and any guy who would happily drag me down some crazy spiral of poverty with him has to go. Kick him to the curb, so-to-speak! I'd be better off to be on my own. I've raised a child on my own before, and I can do it again, if need be. So that's what I was thinking during the Marriage Vows...and so I said,"For Richer or Richer", and Dwight laughed, so I knew that part was fine!

If only the devil were this cute, and this task-oriented - haha! 

And the 'Obey' thing -- puh-leeease, don't even get me started! I hope to God no-one is saying that part anymore!

The thing is to go into Marriage with a firm grip on the reality of it -- it's a lot of work to put up with another person (and all their crazy relatives! Remember that the old adage that you're not just marrying your spouse, you're marrying the entire family -- man, ain't that the truth! Some time we'll get into the whole In-Law thing -- that's such a touchy subject for so many people. I've had two very difficult Mothers-in-Law, and that's enough for me. They can make your life a complete misery or they can be as wonderful as a second mother... always good to make sure the family unit is not tooooo insane before you get married! (Of course, then there'd only be a handful of marriages every decade, and the Wedding Industry would be livid, 'cause doesn't everybody come with some craziness attached..., so just find someone who can actually separate themselves from their Ma and Pa, and give it a shot!)

Might as well clear something else up, in case you've made the connection with me and the Ben Johnson thing. When I met Ben, I was living in some sort of cloud, I think, and I had absolutely no idea of how one would go about earning a living without going to work every day. I totally didn't get that. So when I met him and he seemed to be at home a lot, and travelled a lot, too, so I thought, "Oh, no. He's broke. What's he living on?? The house (very big, just for the record!) is paid for, the Ferrari is paid for (or was it a Lambougini?? I can never remember the difference!), his other two luxury cars were paid for -- what on earth is he living on??" And he seemed to be supporting some family members, too.
I felt that I could help him to get back on track (ha,ha,ha! He's an Olympic Runner, for those who might have forgotten!). I think I felt a certain kindred with Ben because we were both being thoroughly screwed over by the system, and for much longer than any actual criminal ever would be... I've got plenty to say about that! Anyway, I had written two Spec. Scripts for The Simpsons at that time, so I asked him if I could put him in a script. He said yes, and about a month later we started seeing each other. (Best physique I have ever seen, by the way -- truly stunning! I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that! ha,ha,ha!)

Now here's an odd thing -- he always seemed to be sooo concerned that people (namely, women) would take advantage of him for his money. Maybe that's why he didn't give me a Christmas or Birthday gift, which is NOT okay, since that's just the kind thing to do. And he's the one who didn't give me a Ring (Rings are VERY important to me -- no ring, no fun! That sort of thing! ha,ha,ha! And YES, I DO have a LOT of Rings! Funny that you would ask me that?! ha,ha,ha,ha,ha!). It's not the value of the Ring -- it's the sign of a true commitment, otherwise, how do I really know your intentions, hmmmmm?? So when I met Dwight out here in Calgary (Ben lived in Ontario, Canada), and he asked me out for dinner, I glanced down at my hand and thought, "Hmmmf...no ring...", and so I agreed to have dinner with Dwight, and the rest is history.

So you can see that I'm a little bit of an oxy-moron unto myself! I absolutely advocate marrying (or being with in a stable relationship) a Wealthy Man, but in the true sense of the word 'wealth'. It's not just determined by money, nor is it determined by the amount of money -- just how you use it, accumulate it and most importantly, how you manage it.

(I wrote this while I was still married... am happily divorced, now, very easy divorce, no worries, but I still stand by finding a partner you can grow with and who will be supportive of you - for each of you... a whole lot of mutual support! lol!)

How to Meet the Love of Your Life! #FindLove #Love #lol!

So this started out as a 'Marry Rich' page, but that's just a wee joke - it's a great idea, though, don't get me wrong! lol!  But the most important thing, right after you are actually attracted to your potential new mate, and they're good to you, is that you are financially compatible.  You might be shocked at the number of marriages and relationships that fall apart because of money problems - and not just not having enough - what to do with the money once you've gotten it can be a big issue, too... so it's really important to know how your potential partner feels, acts, manages, makes, acquires, keeps (the list goes on and on! lol!) their money.

I think that how someone (really, I'm talking about men, here, mostly, but this applies to women, too) deals with their money is often very closely related to how they will deal with you. If they are stingy with their money, they'll often be stingy with their love, and that's not good for you.  But there's a huge difference between being frugal, or careful, with their money - stinginess is a whole other ball game, and not a fun one to play.  You can't even play ball with this guy, because he won't share his ball! hahahahaha!  Okay, that one;s just for me (and you, to, if you're laughing, right now! hahaha!).  And then there's the over-spender, who is not any better - no sense of when enough is enough, and God Knows we all know where that leads... he can't tell when one woman is enough... bleh!  Nobody needs that guy!  They're both jerks!  But sooo many of them, dang it!  and wouldn't you know some of them are cute?!  So you have to be vigilant, keep your eyes open... and you can choose to be with any guy who appeals to you, as long as you're doing the risk-management thing - know what you're getting into, and be careful with your own money : )



Okay, on with the show...

Wealth can be measured by many things -- a Wealth of Possibilities is sometimes even more fun in a mate than finding everything ready-made. Then you can then grow in your Wealth, together. Doesn't that sound like fun? Plus, Rich to one person might mean being able to pay all the bills without worrying, and to the next person 'Rich' might mean having the biggest Yacht in the Habour. Make up your own mind about 'How much does it take to be Wealthy', and you'll be well on your way to your own Personal Wealth and Happiness

Oh, and here's a little epiphany I had a while back -- you know what you really want to find in a Mate? Someone with a Generous Spirit. It occurred to me that a person with a truly generous spirit will be open to sharing everything about their lives, including their money. Money is just a good indicator of how they often handle the rest of their lives. Tight with the Money, Tight with the Love. This has very little to do with how much money anyone has, just the willingness to share, so watch out for that, and be lovely and open, yourself. You'll find a Great Match in no time!

Okay, let's say you know someone (is it me?? haha!) who is looking for a nice relationship and might be a bit shy about joining up for Internet Dating all on their own... this might be the perfect present for someone that you love who wants to find a little extra-special love of their very own! Here are some little tips so you can at least spot a wealthy (or soon-to-be-wealthy) guy (or girl!):

1. If that BMW he's driving is most likely leased, you may be looking at a guy who owes a whole lot of money to someone else... It's pretty easy to LOOK rich. You might want to check out the guy in the Truck or not-so-new-but-still-nice vehicle -- chances are high that he's the one who's been saving his bucks, and has the ability to make a whole lot more of them!

2. High Maintenance Women are great for High Maintenance Men -- are you willing to be a Barbie forever? Think you ever want to just kick back and enjoy your life? Probably not with this guy -- he'll demand perfection -- his mother will, too, and yes, she'll definitely come with the package. (Hey, I don't know why these guys are like that -- it's just a part of the special -- and sometimes anal retentive -- package that you can often get with the Rich and Famous!)

3. Wealthy Men are really looking for down-to-earth women who won't blow their budget. (Go ahead... make all your jokes here...I'll wait! ...) They are open to friendly women who would make easy companions -- fun to talk with who can get down to business when they need to -- which is fairly often -- that's how wealth is made and kept! He wants to be married for life, since he is seriously trying to avoid losing half of his wealth-to-date in a Divorce.

Now, here's a difference between a Rich Man and a Wealthy Man...a Rich Man is a fellow with a tremendous amount of money, and often he is looking for a 'Trophy Wife'. A Wealthy Man is someone who has worked really hard for his money and who wants to not only keep it, he wants to make sure it grows. The Wealthy Man is looking for a Partner to work along side him in this growth business, and help him keep his life running smoothly, then the whole family is much happier.

Remember that the Type of Work that a Wealthy Man does may not match what is typically thought of as a 'monied position'. The old thinking was that only Doctors and Lawyers were the ones with money (this doesn't include Athletes, since they are few and far between, and we're talking about men you might actually come in contact with on any given day..!). Enterpreneurs, Contractors, Teachers (yes, some teachers are really, really good money managers, and are able to amass all sorts of wealth!), People in Construction and Real Estate, and let's not forget Computers! Almost any line of work can lead a person down the Road to Wealth -- it's all about Money Management, not necessarily how much you make in any given year.
Keep an open mind when you meet a new person to see what they're really all about. You'll ensure a better future for yourself if you hook up with a man who has a solid understanding of Wealth Management. A guy with a really high salary who spends like a fiend (and NOT on Real Estate! ha,ha!) in order to APPEAR Wealthy will be more difficult to get ahead with than someone who earns less but manages his money well.

4. Hang out at Boat Shows -- those guys are typically loaded. They have to be to buy a boat and then actually take it out on the water. If you're lucky enough to live near water, hang about (not leeringly...) at the Docks. Who knows who you might run into...? Hey, Building and Home Shows are great, too -- maybe you'll get some great ideas while you're there, too!

Don't forget to pop into shops where the wealthy go -- the Home Improvement Stores, Stationary Supply Stores, the Jean Stores (yes, contrary to popular opinion, many wealthy men wear jeans!) and, of course, the grocery and liquor stores!

I'm not sure why Bars got such a bad rap -- especially Dance Bars and Cool Pubs. They're fun to hang out at with your friends, and perhaps you'll meet someone nice. Keep in mind that 'the wealthy' generally didn't start out that way -- you might find a diamond in the rough!

Sports Games are great, too (small plug -- I'd like to see every Sports Team out there with their own Logo on a Buff so when you went to games there'd be a whole SEA of Buffs for each side -- if you know someone interested in that, for Goodness Sake have them contact me! Pweeeease!) Back to the games -- want a manly man? Check out the local Rugby matches... Love Hockey or Basketball? Try to catch the NHL and MBA (whooops! Slight trip of the tongue, there! Although those MBA guys are great, too...) ... Should be NBA Games, then go meet the Players -- there's usually a cool Bar in or nearby the Arena where you could 'mingle'! No gushing, though -- play it calm and collected -- they'll appreciate the lack of craziness! All the people you will meet in this scenario will be interesting, so keep your mind open and make some new friends.

Just one little tidbit about going out with a group of girls -- watch out for the 'group syndrome', where some poor soul comes over to ask you to dance and there's a quick and seldom subtle 'group decision' about 'whether he should be permitted a dance or not'... ugh. Everybody hates this -- it's not High School anymore ... always make your own decision about who you like and be kind whenever you can. It's very hard for a man to approach a woman in a group (all the more reason not to always travel in packs!), so if you're not offended by the guy, one little dance is the polite thing to do. Unless it's a slow song, and he's been leering at you all night, in which case a simple 'No Thanks. Maybe a Fast dance later on...' ought to work. Strike up some conversations and have some fun!

5. Learn how to cook. No kidding. Check out my favorite recipes on the Tips & Recipes Page, and try your hand at one of the recipes. I haven't met a man, yet, who doesn't love Cheesecake, so give that one a shot! Hey, you'll have a lovely treat for you and your girlfriends while you seek out that guy! You don't need to cook everything, it's just very useful to have a couple of signature dishes that you can make that will be fun to make for your new guy!

6. Have (and go to...) parties with other single people. Make them pre-timed in the afternoon, if it's too weird to have one in the evening. Say, from 2:00pm - 4:00pm on a Sunday. Have each friend you invite bring another single person. Be sure to include your 'couple friends', too -- they are great sources for single folk! At the very least, you might make a new friend or business acquaintance. Sunday works, since you're more likely to get into a restaurant if you like someone enough to continue the conversation over dinner.

7. Speaking of Dinner Out -- this is a very good sign of what kind of man you're dealing with -- a fellow who makes it clear in advance of the meal that it's his treat is a good guy. Not in a weird way, though -- if he goes on and on that he's going to pay, and it's a huuuge deal, forget it. This guy's crazy with his money, and you don't want to date a guy like this, let alone marry him!) If he wants to share the tab on the first date, watch out. Don't worry about that old thing where everything should be equal or you won't be on equal footing. If you like him, you can offer to pick up the tab on the next meal... Just the offer of reciprocation is very indicative of your willingness to be equal partners, and that's what he's looking for.

Now, of course, if you ask him out, you should also be prepared to foot the bill. Don't feel like you have to hit the best restaurant in town -- you could have a nice picnic in the Park, or have him over to your place for dinner (if you've already had a few dates and you're comfortable with this).

I actually had a 'blind date' years ago where the fellow brought a Grocery List and a Recipe for me to make dinner for him -- can you believe that?? And to think he's still single -- who'da thunk that?! I couldn't believe it, so I suggested just going out for Chinese, and guess who paid the bill -- me! I couldn't get rid of him fast enough... (just so you know, this guy was no poor soul -- I was poorer than dirt at the time, but he was an Architect and Professor... see how important knowing how they deal with money is? Being with a man whose wallet squeaks and dust puffs out when he finally opens it is a nightmare to be married to -- he'll control his own and your money for the entire marriage.) And you always thought it was just a little meal!

8. Be yourself -- no need to put on any airs. That's no fun and you want someone who will love you, not some made-up version of yourself. You know you're lots of fun to be around -- let him see that, too!

9. Be confident. Know that you are worthy of being with him -- and make sure he is worthy of being with you. Money isn't everything -- sometimes it comes with a great big jerk at the end of the leash! (Ha, ha! I'm amusing myself, now, with that dog analogy!) Be extra careful not to get too swept up in the cars and houses (although, I've been known to be swayed by a gorgeous home in the past...and currently, too! And a really gorgeous pool could still turn my head! ha,ha!). It's the guy you have to live with, so might as well pretend that the other stuff isn't in the picture and see if you still like him. (Although, truth be told, there's many a man who would be all alone if it weren't for their many attractive 'assets'! ha!)
10. Well, ladies, go out there and find the man of your dreams! Hey, find two or three! You might need a back-up, just in case! Good Luck!

N.B. The reason I think you might like a wealthy guy as opposed to an actual millionaire (not that there's anything wrong with millionaires, they're just a little on the rare side...!) is that he will probably have more in common with you -- youth, optimism, hair (little Dr. Phil joke for you, there!), and sometimes a greater propensity towards sharing. I'm sure you're all familiar with the old line, "It's not what you have, it's what you do with it..." Well, I'm not so sure it really applies to anything but money (ha,ha!) -- you don't have to have a huge income to have a really happy and content life, but you do need to know how to manage your money in order to create and maintain wealth. If you find yourself with a guy who has no clue what to do with his stuff, God Knows he won't know what to do with yours either, so move onwards and upwards, baby -- there are lots of 'right ones' out there for you -- might as well get back in the game, now, and find one!
