Here is a recipe for macaroni salad if anyone is interested:
for a pound of macaroni:

1/2 c vinegar
1 spoon (to taste) mustard

Mix in saucepan. Add:

1/2 c water
1/2 c sugar

Bring to boil.

Beat 6 eggs, add part of the boiling mixture to the eggs while whisking. Add
egg mixture back to pan. Slowly heat to a boil. It will thicken like
pudding. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Boil macaroni, drain, put in big bowl. Add chopped onions and any kind of
vegetable you like. Some celery is nice is you have it.

Add a cup (more or less) of mayonnaise to your egg mixture and then mix that
with the macaroni. Chill. Chopped boiled eggs can be mixed in or placed on
top.

If you like your macaroni salad more wet, just increase the amount of egg
mixture that you make by 1/4 or 1/2. The macaroni absorbs it as it sets.
