I keep telling you people: there is no tuna casserole no matter how badly you want it!

Makes no difference to me. I'm independent. I'll just order a pizza.

No, you'll go to bed hungry. 

[roamer_1]

Peace.

And by the way my friend - I have not forgotten that you and I have stood together for a very long time.
That has not changed.

 

[roamer_1]

You must be under the impression that I don't know how to crawl out my window and jump off the porch roof. Cell phone, walk down the lane to the gate, pizza guy shows up... and nobody says a thing.

Thank God!  I detest tuna casserole.  My mother used to make it with some kind of biscuit and caraway seeds.  I always opted for p&j or french toast.

Ugh.  No, I make it with a white sauce and italian bread crumbs and parmesan cheese browned on top.  My kids still want it when they visit.  Good stuff!

'Really damaging': Retirement wave could sink GOP effort to win back House in 2020

Is a 2020 House Republican majority bid about to get washed out?

House Republicans watched their chances shrink on Thursday night when Rep. Will Hurd became the ninth GOP lawmaker to announce he won’t run for a third term next November.

And it could get much worse.

“We could be headed for the neighborhood of 30 retirements, which would be historically on the high side,” Dave Wasserman, House race editor for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, told the Washington Examiner. “This could just be the beginning.”

Republicans need to flip 18 seats held by Democrats to regain the majority next year.

I really don't like hot tuna.

But meatloaf, mashed potatoes and fresh bread of any kind....ummmm! I hope you don't mind if I skip the broccoli.

(I've been waiting on this thread to go to pie...but meatloaf works, too. lol)

Certainly, good food should be shared.

Start the water for the noodles.

Make a white sauce:
1/2 stick of butter melted.  Remove from heat and stir in 3 generous tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper, and if you want to add herbs now is the time.  Put back on the heat and stir in one cup of milk.  Stir until thickened and remove from the heat. (maybe 5 minutes)

Add sauteed mushrooms and onions and 2 cans of tuna to the still hot sauce.  When the noodles are cooked and drained, mix the tuna/white sauce into the noodles until well mixed.  Put in casserole pan, top with Italian bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.  Bake at 350 until browned on top and bubbly. 

Some people like peas mixed in, but my kids are purists and don't care for that.

[Bill Cipher]

With of course.

Yay!  I’m in!

********************************************************

Pour sauce mixture over two loaves and put in 350 degree oven for 90 minutes.... if you can stand to wait that long.

[Sanguine]

That looks really good @DCPatriot .

[sneakypete]

It hasn't @roamer_1 and who wouldn't prefer that man?  All we have to do is find him, talk him into running, and figure out how to finance the effort.

@Bigun  @roamer_1

You guys want a president that  is humble before/subordinate to an imaginary creature?

Seriously? And you complain about the followers of Mohammed?

[DCPatriot]

That looks really good @DCPatriot .

It's insane.    I serve/enjoy it with Bob Evans original microwave mashed potatoes.  But heated in a pan on a stove-top.

Every time I make it, give one away to family/friends.   

Each loaf should feed six.

You belive whatever you like @sneakypete and I will do the same.

@Bigun

I have never suggested otherwise,and will fight for your right to worship as you please,as long as you don't follow Mohammed. Islam is not a religion,and I don't give a damn who claims it is,they are wrong.
