Hi, Wayne. Yes, I did. I posted pics of the ingredients on abf and
posted about it here, but I never got around to photographing the results.

My family agreed with me on my assessment -- it's not really any sweeter
than the average grocery-store macaroni salad, which is usually a bit
too sweet for me, but it was definitely not inedible. And the dressing,
which seems like it would be way too much for that amount of macaroni,
all soaks in, so the salad isn't all goopy. Also, I do think the
dressing would make a decent fruit-salad dressing on its own, or the
base of poppyseed dressing, but I wouldn't bother because I like my
poppyseed dressing, and the one I make is easier.

James doesn't like macaroni salad at its best, so he just had that one
taste-tester bite, but the teenager and I ate it as a side dish for a
few days before we got tired of it. The recipe makes a TON of salad. I
think the container I kept it in is 10 1/2 cups.
