Good morning, readers. As July turns to August, so we turn to these requests. Our family is, so to speak, off the grid this week, so these requests are based mainly on discussions around our vacation table. Here are the recipes we have been searching for and talking about: fresh tuna recipes, a sauce for tuna and other fish that contains soy sauce, lime juice, garlic and ginger; lemon desserts that contain no flour and lemon or lime desserts that contain no sugar.
In her missive this week, Marilyn Hoke served up breakfast with a history, in responding to the request for a sausage/cheese breakfast casserole.
She explained: “I obtained this recipe from the innkeepers at a bed-and-breakfast in Lexington, Va., when my son was a student at Washington and Lee University. Bea and John Stewart prepared a delicious breakfast every morning at The Keep and shared many of their recipes.”
Hoke said this recipe and others for wonderful brunch dishes can be found in the Houston Museum of Decorative Arts cookbook, “Party at the Houston,” which now is in its third printing. Requests for a copy may be made by calling the museum at 267-7176 or by visiting the museum, 201 High St., between noon and 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday.
