Made a lovely tuna casserole last night for my wife (she worked late, so we ended up having two dinners). Sauteed onions in butter, added (1% Lactaid) milk, thickened it, added it to noodles, peas, tuna, salt, pepper -- you know the drill. Baked at 325 until she came home and it was nice and crisp on the edges and all creamy inside. I haven't had tuna casserole in a long time, and it felt like a bit of self-care. serene, eating it left over for breakfast -- sorry, Michael -- http://serenejournal.livejournal.com http://www.jhuger.com

It's not a real "hot dish" tuna casserole unless it has

Yes, actually I lived there at one time. 🙂 But it was Minnetonka, so
that probably doesn't count.

You're probably right. That's a pretty well-to-do area. We're talking
peasant food here. 😉

So, have you hit the 400 lb mark yet? If not, I'm sure you soon will.

I don't know why, but I think your posting name is one of the coolest
I've seen in years. Guess that says way too much about how my mind
works - or doesn't. You do, however seem to be pretty [censored] a lot of
the time. I guess I'm sorry for ya. I did my best to get over the
constant bad attitude after I realized that I wasn't just hurting a
lot of other people - I was mainly hurting myself. It only happens
when ya get old, you know <G>. Course, I still screw up on a regular
basis - thank God the folks here tend to be pretty forgiving.

Ahhh. I have a friend who used to live in Minnetonka, and it was like
stepping into a different world. I'm just a middle-classer who has been
demoted to lower middle class within the past few years.
Tell your brother, "Crushed potato chips." <EG>
Carol, willing to make a batch of that crud for anyone attending this
summer's cook-in and has never had the pleasure of dining on said crud

one of our class members "on the lake." Nice digs. :-0)

Hey, I love "that crud" but haven't made it for a couple years at
least. Never think to do it. And I never topped mine with anything.
Mom didn't. :-0) She did make it once, though, without adding the
tuna. No one noticed. :-0)

Heh. I lived in Minnetonka on the lake. But I was a lowly grad
