Pickles by Brian Crane for May 15, 2011

wit and wisdom from the ‘book of grampa’

On page 15 of the GrandPa Handbook it says, ‘Frame your answers to the age (and gullibility) of the child.’ it worked for me till they knew who the Easter Bunny was.

I can eat most any fish, but not tuna fish. Sorry, Charlie!

That’s an old one Earl…..good job of remembering.

I used to have that album, one of REO Speedwagon’s classic releases

Hot TUNA!

Tuna noodle casserole. Worst meal ever!!!!!!

I like tuna when it’s raining out

Heart Healthy lunch – mix one 15 oz can of mackerel, one 6 oz tuna, then mince a medium onion, 2 ribs celery add three grated carrots, four tablespoons mayo and a tablespoon oregano. Makes 14 sandwiches. Serve on whole wheat/rye/flax bread.I’ve been eating two of these sandwiches for lunch daily for eight months now. Somebody HELP ME! I’m getting sick of healthy!

GROAN!!!

Not salmon fish, salmon cakes. Made them last night.

If I can’t tune a fish, how am I ever supposed to play scales?

as so another mediocre REO Speedwagon albun is born.

Ditto… ak4mc the best one yet.

@dfowensby, are you speaking of the great blues duo of Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady? Great pair maing great music!

Shouldn’t there be a rimshot?

Thirdguy, my tuna noodle casserole tastes delicious. Try adding some lemon juice (1 tsp) and garlic salt (1/8 tsp) and see if helps.

Okay then both Alittlebirdie & RC Minor give me your receive for tuna casserole. I just make simple with tuna add to mac & cheese. No potato chips for me to much Greece.

I don’t want to delete my comment so I will claify. the last word not Greece but grease or oil on chips.

Tuna Casserole2 cups cooked noodles 1 can tuna Small onion 1 tsp lemon juice 1 can mushroom soup 1/8 tsp garlic salt 2 slices cheeseMix and bake for 20 minutes in a 375 degree oven

I hate crushed potato chips on any casserole. Too much crunch.

I cannot claim credit to creating the recipe I posted. I found this recipe on the back of a mac/cheese box years ago. In my 20’s I found I was buying too many boxed items and decided to make more foods from scratch. My sons grew up with this tuna casserole.

That’s 2/3 of a pun…P U

I think this must be a regional thing as I’ve heard some Americans say tuna fish but no one in my family or area does. We just say tuna
