  1. That's what we're having for dinner, but a modified version due to our food
    allergies.

    When I was a kid, my mom used curly noodles, cream of mushroom soup, canned
    peas and topped it with either crushed Saltines or Wavy potato chips.

    I made it the same way sometimes, adding cheese and usually using frozen
    peas, or sometimes using a white sauce instead of the cream of mushroom
    soup. Always used the chips instead of Saltines and often varied the type
    of noodle. I believe I made it once using only chips and no noodles.
    Didn't care for that.

    Tonight's casserole uses Quinoa elbows and the sauce is made of fresh
    mushrooms, celery, parsley and onion finely minced, cooked down and
    thickened with a bit of sweet rice flour and seasoned with Herbamare and
    freshly ground black pepper. Used Albacore from a pouch and frozen peas.
    Didn't bake it with the chips on top because there will be leftovers and I
    hate soggy chips. Instead I just threw some whole chips on each serving for
    garnish. So far this is the best version I've come up with that mimics what
    I had as a child.

    How do you make your tuna casserole? Assuming you make it, that is...

    Oh my, I haven't made it in decades. I know what's for dinner now. I made
    it just like your mom's recipe. Identical. Sometimes I'd use julienned
    carrots for a little extra sweetness. And Ruffles potato chips on top.

    White sauce with some minced onions and garlic sauteed in the butter before
    making the roux, add cheddar and romano cheeses. I use either penne or
    celantani (preferable) and light tuna packed in water, well drained. I use
    buttered bread crumbs for a topping. Never any peas or chips.

    Sounds good. I remember using buttered crumbs on something, but I can't
    remember what.

  5. Tuna mac ... macaroni, white cheddar cheese, white tuna,
    white wine vinegar, white pepper and olive oil.

    Never thought of white wine vinegar.
