Wonderful - wonderful - wonderful......

Only difference for us is the canned broccoli.............can't get that here.............but we could use french beans?

Thanks Linda.

Rain in Florida?  Got soaked today again playing golf!  At least in Florida you do get some sunshine.  We are ever hopeful for the sun.  Lovely green country and we can't have that without the rain.............Thank you God!

How about fresh broccoli instead of the frozen.  It would have a better crunch anyway!  Pam

And the green beans would work also.

Good to hear from you, Julie.
We would appreciate some rain here now. It was a scorching 110 here under a cloudless sky today.
A few hundred miles north of here in Colorado, they are fighting wildfires.

Sounds like another great take-along lunch. I've never been crazy about classic tuna salad with mayo, but this sounds really good.

I think we got your rain today in the Pacific Northwest. I heard the first raindrops hit the skylight at about 6:30 this morning, and it hasn't really stopped all day. Wish we could spread it out a little to some of the areas that are parched! We are just not used to this humidity level on the days when it does warm up. It has been a weird spring.

Take care
