   9.  A Vintage Recipe Be sure to check out our vintage recipe archive online   
   at: http://www.tias.com/newsletter/topics/A%20Vintage%20Recipe.html   
      
   Over 1200 wonderful vintage recipes are listed.  Last week Pat asked:   
      
   "Hi Phil, I grew up in Middle Village, NY.  When it got really hot in the   
   summertime, my mother would use elbow macaroni and whip up some tasty cold   
   pasta salads that we would eat for lunch or dinner. Sometimes she would add   
   shrimp, sometimes she'd add chicken, and I remember some having mayo, but   
   others without mayo (I guess it was easier to keep the ones without mayo when   
   it was really, really hot!). Since it seems to be hot in almost every part of   
   the country, (and who feels like eating a hot meal in this weather???), I   
   thought I'd ask if anyone has some vintage elbow macaroni salads, without   
   mayo."   
      
   Anne W. sent in this recipe for   
   DOCÇÖS PASTA SALAD   
   2 c.  cooked small shell pasta   
   1 c.  diced yellow pepper   
   1 1/2 c.  grape tomatoes, quartered 1/2 c. Kalamata olives, chopped   
   2 c.  steamed asparagus   
   2 T.  capers   
   1/4 c. sliced green onions   
      
   Dressing:   
   1/3 c.  orange juice   
   3 T.  white wine vinegar   
   2 T.  water   
   1 T.  olive oil   
   2 tsp.  Dijon mustard   
   1/4 tsp. pepper   
   1/8 tsp.  salt   
   Cook pasta.  Toss with vegetables.  Toss with dressing.  Serves 6 This is   
   really good and you can use whatever vegetables you prefer.  Sometimes I use   
   broccoli or green peas in place of the asparagus.   
   ------------   
      
   10.  A vintage recipe request from a reader:   
      
   "Hi Phil, Can you ask your readers if any of them have a recipe for Sloppy   
   Joes that includes brown sugar or some ingredient that is on the sweet side?    
   I remember that my best friend's mom always made them and they were a little   
   bit sweet so I'm assuming it had brown sugar, but I might be wrong so if any   
   of your readers have any suggestions I'd love to try it. Thanks so much and I   
   love the newsletter!  Lydia K."   
      
   As with collectibles, people also have very strong feelings about foods from   
   their past.  Sometimes these special recipes get lost.  This section is to   
   help people who are looking for lost recipes from their past.  If you submit a   
   request, please include the geographical region where you tasted the recipe.   
   --   
   If you can help this reader with this recipe, please forward it to   
   phil@bignews.biz .  If you have a vintage recipe request send it to   
   phil@bignews.biz and we might just publish it here.  Be sure to check out our   
   vintage kitchen collectibles section online at: http://www.tias.
