Primary Documents: Macaroni

To celebrate the 250th anniversary of a document I am celebrating my first documents. And they're all very American. This week, the boring sequel.

Here's the month’s real point: I know not only the first computer search I ever ran, but the second one too. After my uncle interrupted the first, I was given a second chance. I reversed course and typed MACARONI.

It got exactly one hit, a government publication called something like The Cooking and Preparation of Macaroni.

I liked macaroni. But maybe that bicentennial was still working on me.
