Thanks! I have made Mexican food quite a lot too. I found an easy chili
recipe with no onions. Calls for green peppers. I don't have those but I do
have red and yellow. I think I will make that as a starter with plenty of
cheese and also a tuna casserole. As it turns out, I have someone else to
feed and she likes tuna casserole.
