   I horrified my sweetie by gathering tuna, elbow macaroni, Campbell's
cream of Mushroom soup and a can - yes, a can! - of sweet peas. And made
tuna cassarole with it all. When we were young, newly married, and dirt
broke, it was a weekly standard. For some reason, I developed a craving for
it last week. He rufused to eat a bite of it (although he hovered over the
pot and stirred it a lot).
   Me, being frugal, I ate it but by the fourth bite was remembering why I
hadn't made it in over 20 years. A healthy dose of black pepper helped me
get through the mess.
