Macaroni woman of the year

Since I posted a few days ago about eggplants that looked like Richard Nixon, I thought it only fitting to also note that his wife, Patricia, had her own food thing going on. In 1970, she was named Macaroni Woman of the Year by the National Macaroni Institute. She also had her portrait painted out of macaroni by the artist Don Wheeler.

Liverwood?! That's not on my map!

A search comes back "did you mean Riverwoods?" Wilkes & Barre should agree finally to pick one name, I would suggest Liverwood.

We used to do that in pre-school.

It's Wilkes-Barre, so you see, it is one name. The reference was goofed. Now, how to pronounce it is another story.
