I was very enthusiastic about trying this recipe as I saw it prepared on television and it looked great. In fact, all the dishes you prepared that day looked magnificent. Among the other dishes prepared were double orange pork chops. Well, I tried both dishes tonight and although the pork chops were tough and the flavor of the orange didn't go through the mean, they were, at least, edible. As for the warm macaroni salad, it has to be the worst tasting crap I've ever put in my mouth. No kidding, it was the WORST!!!!!!! FEH! HORRIBLE STUFF, REALLY NASTY.
