I used to do ‘em all the time, but I can’t remember the last time. Probably because I’ve been a slave to the MAFW weekly ride calendars since 2000.

This is a great recipe — easy and everybody loves it. Even my kids went for it — despite it being a salad — when they were little tots. But you have to be really, really picky when you go shopping.

Shopping the local B&N late one evening for some trashy sci-fi to read, I spotted a copy of a book of stories by Richard Matheson.
