- SOUP
- MILK
- TUNA
- PEPPER
- SALT

I’ve never tried the delights of tuna casserole, so I did a Google search after completing today’s game and found dozens of variations to Strands’ recipe, including adding lime, swapping out the noodles for macaroni, and adding a potato chip topping.
It looks easy to make, so I’m going to try it, but without MILK.
Meanwhile, despite my culinary emptiness, I managed to navigate the board without any problems. A tasty start to the weekend.
