A Boy's Own Tuna Mac Salad

It's quick n' easy, tasty (if you're not afraid of cayenne pepper), and almost universally liked by children. The ingredients are all staple items found in your refrigerator and pantry on a regular basis: "shell" macaroni, green pepper, scallions, celery, canned tuna fish, mayonnaise, red and black pepper, salt, curry, parsley, and dill weed.

Start by boiling water with a little salt to cook the macaroni...till just done and no more.

Chop the parsley, green pepper, celery, and scallions into similarly-sized bits. Use a caliper or other measuring device to insure uniformity. Mix and match other items not only for taste but for crunchiness and interesting "mouth-feel."

Add the various spices...salt, pepper, curry, dill weed, and especially a little cayenne pepper to add a bit of heat. Put in a generous couple of glops of mayo...at least enough to give it a "creamy" and not a "dry" texture.

Fold in the cooked macaroni.....

And, there's your salad...
