The one question I am asked over and over is this...Do I eat everything I make? And the answer is....yes...but only tiny bites. First of all, I'm diabetic so that takes the fun out of eating anything that tastes really good - but I refuse to give up ALL taste so a bite or two is usually enough to satisfy me and keep me from being comatose. And the answer is also...no...if I ate everything I made I would be the size of a Winnebago - and not just the truck/camper rig that I currently am. This is what I eat for lunch, almost every day when I'm home - and I never get tired of it...
This is made from a small can of albacore tuna, packed in water, and drained. I add some capers, chopped green olives with pimento, a green onion, salt, pepper, about a tablespoon of olive oil and the juice from one lemon - that's my standard. It's not the usual mayonnaise-y tuna - it's full of flavor, low in calories and it's actually good for me! But if I really want to make it special and if I have all the ingredients on hand, I make Fon-Tuna Melts. And this is where I usually eat my lunch too - in my workroom, so I can take a bite, sew a little, write a little or whatever. Here's what I've been working on lately...
The girl took Baby Max to visit some of her friends today so the it's very lonely around the manse...they are here for another two days and then they'll be off to visit the SIL's parents...Now I don't mean to offend but really, if only the girl would have taken my advice and married an orphan then I wouldn't have to share Baby Max with anyone! Selfish I know. Sorry. Can't help it. That baby is just the most wonderful little person on the planet and to know he's going to be in Washington but not at my house is very, very sad...do you think it would be bad if I followed them to the SIL's parents home and just peeked in their windows? Or just pretended that I was in the neighborhood and "accidently" bump into them on the street? It's only a 3 hour trip to their house -surely bumping into them at say Costco seems reasonable, right?!?
