Sheila's Famous (at least that's what they tell me)...

Edgar Allan POEtato Salad.

(That's the Halloween name I give it, anyway; other times it's just
Potato Salad)

Bunch of your favorite potatoes (I like red usually)

A big Vidalia onion, diced

Chopped green and black olives

Hellman's (oh yes, it HAS to be Hellman's) mayonnaise ...I use quite a
bit cuz I like my PS creamy

Maybe just the teensiest bit of dijon mustard, just to give it a little
kick

Bacon bits (can be packaged; I prefer cooked and crumbled)

Chopped hard-boiled egg (use however many you want)

Celery seed

Pimentos

Cavendar's Greek Seasoning (I'm pretty liberal with it; again, as much
as you want)

Salt, Pepper (don't need a lot of this with the other seasoning).

Cook everything that's supposed to be cooked. I cook the potatoes very
thoroughly cuz I like my potatoes almost like they're mashed. Don't
forget to peel the eggs.

Add all the other stuff and blend like mad.

Chill. Eat. Enjoy!

Spicy Peanut Noodles

• 1 pound spaghetti
• 2/3 cup natural peanut butter
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup boiling water, if desired

Cook the spaghetti in a big pot of boiling salted water. When it is
tender, drain it well, and return it to the pot. Meanwhile prepare the
sauce. In a medium sized bowl combine the peanut butter, soy sauce,
cayenne pepper, sugar, vinegar and garlic. Mash it all together until
it is smooth. The mixture should be thick. If you like, you may thin
it out with boiling water, until it is a consistency you like. I use
water from the boiling spaghetti and stir it a whole lot to make it
smooth. When the spaghetti is cooked and drained, pour the sauce over
it and toss it well.

Serves 6.
