On Friday June 4th we attended Loyal Lodges Barbecue. Everyone signs up to bring a side dish or appetizer and the lodge supplies the burgers an dogs. I signed up to bring macaroni salad. This is a basic mac salad kicked up a notch as Emeril would say. Both my husband and son love it…me I’m not a big macaroni salad fan…I just make it.
