Bourbon Grilled Tuna
Lorraine and I saw that tuna was on sale today, along with Argentine pink shrimp. We decided that we’d have tuna tonight, shrimp tomorrow. OK, what to do with the tuna? 1-1/2 pounds was...

Chicken Egg Rolls
I had homemade egg rolls at a college friend’s home. Liking them FAR better than anything in a Chinese restaurant, I had to make my own. Problem? I’m not fond of cabbage excepting sauerkraut....

Fresh Lemonade
This drink can be made with bottled lemon juice, but it’s FAR better with fresh. I am in the habit of buying 5 lb bags of lemons and juicing them. This makes stronger juice...
