Heated Rivalry Tuna Melt! Super delicious, flavored with red onion, fresh dill, pickles, lemon juice, celery salt and more! You have to try this!
I, like many of you, have watched Heated Rivalry and loved it! I didn’t read the books so if you have, please tell me the significance behind the tuna melt. From what I can tell, it was Ilya’s way of caring for Shane. He even had his Canada Dry ginger ale stocked. If you haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend Heated Rivalry. There’s a lot of sex so obviously don’t watch it with the kids. I thought the actors did a wonderful job in portraying a beautiful story about falling in love, friendship, family hardships, challenges and competing within the high-stakes, hyper-masculine world of hockey.
