A Throwback to Childhood

Everybody is making a mad dash to the grocery store and gas stations now that snowmaggedon is winding down here in Texas. But hey, I trained for this in 2020. 
So to avoid going to the store (haven’t been in 10 days) we decided to make tuna casserole for dinner. This was just a, “Hey, we’ve got tuna and noodles and stuff - let’s make a casserole.”

I can honestly say I probably haven’t eaten this since the late sixties as a kid. We went all out and had Texas sheet cake too. 

I suggested that my wife put on a frilly apron along with heels and pearls to serve it to me. Well, that didn’t work out. I couldn’t even get her to make me a Manhattan. What’s the world coming to?

We drug out my 1956 copy of Betty Crocker’s Cookbook to make sure we did it right. I don’t think this is a flavor profile I’ll crave again any time soon but it was fun and nostalgic. 









I may set this out for her to read later. If I don’t respond on the forum for a few days you might check in on me.

Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

    Fun way to stay out of the store!  I totally understand about it not being a craved taste. My daughter would ask for that once a week back when she 13-14.  I’ve not craved it since. Lol.

    @SciAggie - that is definitely making the (al)most best of the situation and spinning it in a true positive vein.  Can't touch the creativity right there.  Extremely well-played.
    BTW- next time see if a complicated bourbon on the rocks will gain any traction  B)

    That's a hotdish where I come from -- and boy do I miss all the potlucks that featured that and countless others similar to it. That looks wonderful.

    I could easily do with a big helping of that. 

    Do you have extra copies of that tips sheet? I just want to see caliqueen's face when she gets to the "make him comfortable" section. From afar, of course.

    I automatically looked at your signature line to see if you were from Minnesota when I read “hot dish.”

    I loved tuna casserole as a child and poor college student. I would still eat a plate full and he happy. Well done. Thanks for sharing!
