Sounds really good Billy! Would it be horrible if I switched the sweet pickle to dill???

Sounds good, Billy. Who's in charge of making it now, need I ask?
Re: Fredia's Macaroni Salad - bjcotton - 12-03-2008
No Jean, no need to ask.
Sharon, I had always switched to dill relish, but the family doesn't like mine as well.

Sounds good Billy! I prefer macaroni salad over potato salad any day...my family would disagree. I win sometimes though. Copied and saved.
