      Hi Anash, are you using Google Chrome? I did a little research and apparently Chrome and RSS feeds don’t place nice sometimes.

      • Anash says:

        yes actually i do use google chrome–and often have a problem with RSS feeds—hmmm–guess i will consider switching to mozilla!

          Hi, try checking out the RSS feed now. I switched a few things around last week and it seems to be working in Chrome now (at least when I try!).

    @Heather Thanks! Yeah, the key to this dish is using good quality tuna. I got mine at Whole Foods.

    @Kimmie Chicken would be a good substitution!

    @Sandra I usually don’t use tuna packed in olive oil, but it is perfect for this recipe.

    @anash Interesting! I’ll have to do some testing to see what’s going wrong. I have counted your comment as an entry. Sorry about that!

    @Tiffany This spread only has a hint of tuna flavor. The lemon and oregano definitely come to the forefront, balancing everything out.

    @everyone Thank you so much for your entries!!!
