[Sca-cooks] Tuna sandwiches

[Huette von Ahrens]

So often, canned tuna is over-mayonnaised.
I, however, don't like plain canned tuna.
I usually buy tuna canned in water, rather
than oil.  I drain it and press as much
water out as possible.  I add just enough
mayonnaise to moisten the tuna and I add
just a pinch or two of celery salt to add
just a touch of flavor.  That is it.

On a hot summer day, there is nothing like
a cold tuna macaroni salad.

I usually boil shell macaroni until done and let
it cool.  I then boil peas until done and let 
them cool.  I then take several cans of tuna
and moisten them with mayonnaise as above.
I mix the three together and chill until cold.
I then make up a fresh batch of biscuits and
serve the cold tuna macaroni salad with hot,
fresh baked biscuits and real butter.  Nothing
perks up the appetite than cold tuna salad
and hot fresh biscuits on a hot summer day. 

_Fresh_ tuna on the other hand is delightful
just as it is.  I just grill it with just
a touch of real butter and a pinch or two
of real salt.

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for 
they shall never cease to be amused.
