FROM THE EDITOR
Fall and Football Season seems to bring me lots of e-mail looking for something
new to serve at the next tailgate party. I've got aunts and uncles who have been
tailgating at the University of Michigan since the early 1960's. They have seen
the food change from a picnic basket lunch to a complete turkey dinner for the
Thanksgiving game. Enjoy the recipes!

KITCHEN TIPS
Most of us know that an opened box of baking soda tucked in back will absorb
food odors in the fridge.
Here are a couple more odor eaters:
� To rid plastic food storage containers of smell, soak in a solution of 1
tablespoon baking soda per cup of hot water.
� To rid your microwave of bad odors, place a glass of water mixed with 2
tablespoons lemon juice inside and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
