1 large can white albacore tuna packed in water, drained and drained again!
8 sweet pickles, chopped fine
2 green onions, chopped fine
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 hard boiled egg, chilled, peeled and chopped fine
2-4 tablespoons butter
1 slice Muenster cheese
1 slice extra sharp cheese
4 slices frozen potato bread

• Drain the tuna in a fine mesh sieve and then use a spoon to mash all the water out again! Drying out the tuna is crucial.
• In a mixing bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Chop the sweet pickles and green onions extremely fine.
• Fold tuna, pickles and onions into Mayonnaise mixture.
• Chop egg finely and fold into mixture.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter on griddle over medium high heat. Add more as necessary to keep from burning.
• Toast all 4 slices of bread while still frozen*.
• When butter is melted lay all 4 slices in butter and top 2 slices with muenster and the other 2 slices with the sharp cheddar. Allow them to heat through, melting the cheese.
• Add the tuna to 2 slices and close them up.
• Continue cooking until golden on all sides and heated through.

*Using frozen bread makes the bread lighter and more easily toasted golden.

I took these a few weeks ago, and can’t wait for the next few weeks
as the leaves have begun to change and it WILL BE beautiful!

1. There is no need to adjust the channel.

2. Where in the heck did the TV control go?

3. Mowing the back 40 is all I managed to do.

4. Prospects for winning the lotto are slim.

5. GOD is the message.

6. Simplicity and tranquility are there for the taking.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to kicking back with Stargate Atlantis, a pizza and popcorn, tomorrow my plans include and Sunday, I want to mowing the rest of the yard, planting fall bulbs and cutting up the tree branches to a size the city will accept and Sunday I want to watch football and quilt!
