Recipe for A Hot Summer Day

The first thing to do on a hot summer's day is to take a nap. I did. It was a short nap, but a nap nonetheless. I made macaroni salad for dinner. It's fast and it's good on summer evenings.

Macaroni Salad
Cook up a package of salad macaroni, drain and rinse with cold water.
Add, in any amounts you like,chopped green and red peppers, celery, bread and butter pickles, green onions, cubed cheddar cheese, and cubed cooked ham. These ingredients should equal about the same amount as the cooked macaroni. Salt and pepper to taste. Add enough mayonnaise to moisten.

It's nice with a glass of iced tea. That's it. Not exactly a gourmet recipe, but it'll do.
