Voodoo Stew and acini de pepe Hi Marsha

[Guest guest]

This sounds delish! I'll make it and toss a handful of acini de pepe or orzo pasta in it. I toss acini in to everything if I can. I think I'm attached to them since I used to eat bowls of frog eye salad as a kid. Weird name, huh? ......LOL Anyone else remember that sweet salad????

Thanks, Donnamarsha l <darkcydesky wrote:

my mother-in-law makes frog-eye salad for EVERY family get-together.

I had never had it till I met my hubby. It is a very unusual name as

the tiny pasta doesn't even look like frog eyes : ). I wonder how the

salad got it's name : )........
