Fascination with Food
July 22nd, 2010
It seems that lately I’ve been fascinated with posting pictures about everything. It seems that me and my ‘eye’ have been in a constant state of picture taking when we are out and about, because it seems that there is always something interesting in my path.
Today, I wouldn’t say that this was in my path, but it’s a picture of my lunch. It’s tuna salad that I made, and when I ate it, I couldn’t help but think of my parents. I remember many years ago, one of them made some tuna salad (made with Kraft Mayo- their ONLY mayo choice) and I noticed that my tuna salad had carrots in it. I was disturbed that they’d put a foreign object in my salad, but mom urged me to try it and I actually liked it. Now, when I make tuna salad- I do the same thing, only I use low-fat mayo and lots of mustard. I added some pickles, grated egg, a little Tony’s seasoning, garlic and onion powder and then spread it on a whole-grain cracker. I have to say that it was delicious and reminded me of home.
Carrots in tuna salad ? Sounds good! I make mine with chopped walnuts and celery, and chopped cucumber ~ dressing is Lite Country Italian :)
OOPS! I forgot ~ I add all of *that* up there, to a large bed of Romain lettuce.
That sounds good Sunny- I love walnuts- they are SO good for you.. and the romain lettuce- YUM!
