Subject: Rich's Department Store -coffee shop- Pecan Cream Torte

I called Atlanta home from 1957-1960 and regularly hitch hiked from Norfolk, VA 
to Atlanta and back on a weekend, wearing my US Navy uniform to make better time, 
and looked forward to stopping by the coffee shop for a slice of Pecan Cream Torte, 
still my favourite confection of all time.  Any chance of getting the recipe?  TIA.

Hello Paul,

No problem. The page containing that recipe to which I had linked previously has vanished from the Internet. However, for those in the know, it is possible to travel back in time to the Internet of the past. Doing so, I found the recipe in 2005. See below.

I need the recipe for Jewel osco Cheddar mac salad.

Thank you Clayton 

Hello Clayton,

I found two "macaroni & cheddar salads" mentioned in Jewel-Osco ads: "Essential Everyday Macaroni & Cheddar Salad" and "Sour Cream Cheddar & Macaroni Salad"

I could not find a recipe for either one, or a recipe that was claimed to taste like either one. I did find that someone had requested the same recipe on a message board, and they were given the below recipe in reply. It might be worth a try.
