Well considering your the one devouring these ghastly foods (?) maybe you should change yours.
You must have a cast iron stomach. You know Mary, our bodies are temples and your treating yours like a condemned slum.
By the way, your a lovely lady who looks likes a person with better sense than to eat such repugnant junk. How about a simple quick recipe that doesn’t involve a lot of ingredients, peeling, chopping and lots of dishes. Something easy, quick and trouble free and that will last awhile. Besides a restaurant.

@- @lioness - This sounds so scrumptious! How does it hold together?

@merpreb I make the tuna up first with mayo then make the salad so have both tuna for sandwiches and then mix the salad up it holds up really good since it has the mayo in it. It is really good I may make some more today.

Ahhh Jake....Foods that are repugnant to you are the good foods...beverages like coffee, matcha tea and wine in moderation are good for you....We are all good cooks in our family and extremely nutrition conscious and need to know the origins of many foods and try to avoid the white flours, wheat and the cane sugars and unpronounceable additives in almost all foods. We all exercise and play sports (not me for sports) and love to cook (except my son in law who knows how to open the fridge and order online). We are all in good physical health, trim and energetic.

We have evolved our thinking about food in the past 10 years and have benefited from it.

Now, as for you Jake...dear soul...we have all given you the simplest meals we can come up with and you still are not happy. What are we to do? Methinks you have to get a personal chef or .....gasp!.....bite the bullet and meander to the kitchen and up to the stove where you may have to spend at least 20 to 30 in pursuit of a healthy meal. I know, I know ....you are overwhelmed at the thought. It’s either that or the dungeon!

My cast iron stomach thanks you for the lovely lady comment at least.

You’re still a hoot.

I like cod too...buy that and salmon mostly. Like Cobia is I can get it. Cod is very versatile and I like to do mine in the oven also but I like to spice it up more and often use Creole seasoning or Badia or just about anything that takes my fancy that day. I’ve also broiled it after it’s been oiled and seasoned with maybe a little breadcrumb. I’ve panfried it for the fish and chip version with that wonderful malt vinegar.
I have coated salmon with a little mayo and seasoning also. Mayo is a good coating for strong fish like bluefish (not my favorite).

Going to a restaurant in Tampa tonight called Oak and Oil. Can’t wait to tell Jake what we ate lol. They put so much love in their food and come up with the most unusual and heavily combinations it’s truly an experience.

Oh boy...getting hungry

Hi,

I never made tuna with pasta...always wanted to try that.but I do use canned sardines (in olive oil)....with pasta. Sardines have to be cooked a little with onion and breadcrumbs in the pan even though the sardines are already cooked. Seems to deepen the flavor. Original recipe I had called for capers but I never liked them. I like the fish pasta combo a lot. Can’t go wrong with pasta and anything else. I only use Dreamfield pasta when I am in a carby wheat mood. It’s got more protein and seems to taste better to me.

I’m holding out until dinner tonight and I have to stop the food talk!

“I have to stop the food talk!”
That certainly would be a blessing we’d all appreciate!!!!!
You sure have a way of ruining a good sounding recipe.
I knew you ate some awful stuff but I thought you knew the difference between food and bait.

Sounds great @lioness - I have a soft spot in my heart for tuna salad and chicken salad. I'm assuming your tuna is a can of tuna? And, how much couscous do you use?
