Tuna Salad

I've had a can of tuna in my pantry for a while now.
I think about using it.
I look at it and think, "I really need to use that."
But today, I craved tuna!
I think "craving" is your body's way of getting something it's missing.
Seriously!
Like iron,
or vitamins,
or minerals,
or Riboflavin.
I'm kidding about Riboflavin; I just like saying that, even though I don't know what it is!
For lunch, I took my one little can of tuna and made tuna salad.
Only my girl cherub was at home, so I offered to share.
She's wasn't to excited about tuna salad; she said it smells gross.
True.
Why is that?
What a turn-off; to rip off the lid of tuna at work . . . .
and the room fills with the disgusting smell of tuna!
But I'm at home today so I didn't worry about offending anybody;
not even my girl cherub!
After I made the salad, I offered my girl cherub a bite.
Guess what!  She liked it! 
She asked for it for lunch tomorrow!
I guess I'll need to get another can of tuna!
Tuan Salad
1 small can tuna, drained (I use white tuna)
1 TBSP finely chopped onion
1 TBSP mayonnaise
1 small squirt of mustard
1 TBSP pickle relish (you pick if it's dill or sweet)
1 boiled egg, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
In a small bowl, place the tuna and use your fork to "unpack" the fish.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir together.
Serve with toasted bread, crackers, or celery.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe.

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
