I must have hit mid-life at 15 because my mom made a recipe for what we in the family call seafood pasta salad, that I am now known for.
It is so good I have had friends drive 30 plus miles each way for a bowl when they know I've got it.
And when I have it, I dish that shit out like a drug dealer with a permit.
Recipe or it didn’t happen.
Can't share the recipe, its a family secret.
If you want to try it, you'll just have to be my friend near a holiday.
I never understood this in the context of recipes... unless your family is trying to sell the product.
If they share it, they might spread joy but at the expense of not being better than others at this one specific thing.
My one aunt was like that, always thought it was just pettiness...
It's a point of familial pride.
It’s literally the only positive thing that my family passed down to me…
We have all made an agreement that if any of us start a restaurant, that person is allowed to sell the seafood pasta salad *in their restaurant.
But what if I’m their restaurant?
Gonna need to see proof....
Yeah I'm gonna need a recipe here...
Oh that's something I have never made, shrimp, crab, eggs? Then standard potato salad dressing? Maybe some old bay??
