Three Bean Salad ...p31

Memories of dinners at Grandma Alma's and Aunt Bernice's flooded in as I made this cold, colorful salad.  And as a kid, I remember not liking it.  My, how we change.  Now I find it so refreshing, I can't imagine turning my nose up to it.  Though if your kids do, it may be in their GENES.

Truly, they may have two bitter alleles opposed to just one.  CHECK IT OUT !

Might make a nice science experiment in your multiple-kid households, especially for my home-schooled friends.  Who's got the extra bitter allele?

Mango Salsa ...p15

Superb.  Make it a day ahead and the flavors will develop even more.  This salsa is the perfect accompaniment for fish, fish tacos or pork dishes.

I didn't have any pineapple, but I had a lot of overripe plums, so I substituted plums.  Probably changed the flavor a lot as pineapple is so distinct, but the plum just kind of extended the mango adopting its flavor.  And if you don't know how to cut a mango - it's easy....just watch this video.

Could bottle this one!
