Something Smells Fishy

\"smellsOf course, something smells fishy. I just opened a can of tuna!

I took it into my head to make potato-tuna salad; another new venture into \”gourmet\” cooking. Yeah, I know. \”Gourmand\” cooking is more like it!

This idea came about because I bought a 5-pound bag of potatoes yesterday. One potato was significantly larger than the rest. I didn\’t think to weigh it, but I\’d guess it was 6-8 ounces.

So I boiled it this evening. I went into my stash of canned goods, and got out a can of tuna. While I waited for the potato to get cool enough to handle without scorching myself, I drained and flaked the tuna.

Next I peeled and diced the potato, and tossed it with the tuna fish. This can of tuna was oil pack, so I didn\’t add any oil or mayonnaise. I used a quarter-cup of plain yogurt instead; and added a squirt of yellow mustard. For seasoning I turned to freshly-ground black pepper and garlic salt.

This salad turned out to be more potato-y than fish-y. Not that there\’s anything wrong with that; tuna in a mixture so often overpowers everything else. It made enough for me to keep half for tomorrow.

While I\’ve got fish on my  mind, tomorrow morning might see me wishing I had gills. The weather outlook isn\’t too good. Scattered T-storms at 5:00 am, then T-storms from 6:00 or so. The temperature is forecast to be in the low 70s, so rain alone wouldn\’t be too bad to ride in. Lightning, however, is something else again.

Now I\’d better go put out the trash, and get that tuna can out of here. Otherwise I\’ll be thinking that something smells fishy around here.
