We, too, drank beery margaritas in college. Corona Light works very well. Fizzy and delicious!

Stores like TJ Maxx, Marshall's, and especially Tuesday Morning are where I stock up on deeply discounted home and kitchen items. I got a Bodum french press for $8 and a Le Creuset tea kettle for $25, both at Tuesday Morning.

For the less adventurous among us, Ina Garten's potato salad has the traditional flavors of the dish (creamy, salty, and dill-y) without being heavy and mushy like the Southern-style versions I grew up with. The celery adds a delightful crunch, too.
