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.

We have all made an agreement that if any of us start a restaurant, that person is allowed to sell the seafood pasta salad I'm their restaurant.

But what if I’m their restaurant?
