I also love tuna noodle casserole. Brokeness is the perfect reason to finally start, begrudgingly, to learn to cook, so I might as well start by making something I really like.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Boil 2/3 bag of Muller's wide egg noodles for six minutes, throw in a handful of frozen green peas. While cooking, open and drain 6oz can of white or light tuna, and one can condensed can cream of mushroom soup. Drain noodles, add tuna, using fork to tease tuna flakes apart. Add soup, toss gently, dust with cracked black pepper, and serve.
It ain't cuisine, but it's fast, filling, and has protein. Even token greenery!

My egg noodles are always mush.

My mom never made tuna noodle casserole, either, but I tried it as an adult and quite like it. I do a white sauce instead of the cream of mushroom soup, though, usually. Unless I have cream of something soup lying around, but I usually don't.
Ooh, I could make that with shirataki noodles, or something close enough. Some time in the future.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I just use regular pasta. And today I didn't have cream of mushroom soup, so I made a roux. And I added black olives because I did have those and the SO haaaaates olives. And I thought I had panko, but I didn't, but I did have rye toast crackers so I banged those against the counter until the dog came running to the kitchen looking at me all worriedly. So, really, not like tuna noodle casserole at all. But it had tuna! and noodles! And was in a casserole dish, so never mind, it was totally valid tuna noodle casserole. And yummy, and will last me quite a while by myself.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My mom made it with tuna, potato chips and cream of mushroom soup. The chips are mostly crunched in with the tuna and soup with a bit left over to sprinkle on top. Horryfying, but one of my faves when I was a kid.

Ugh, just going out to the movies and grocery shopping yesterday afternoon dropped me into a heat-sapped "nap" that lasted from 6pm to 5 this morning. I guess I can chalk up sleeping through dinner as a dieting win?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Burrell, what other kind of noodle casserole is there? I mean, I guess I've had other noodle casseroles, just not called that. In my head, tuna is the only noodle casserole! The thing with chicken and broccoli (eg) is totally different.
Between thunder and my stupid cat, I did not sleep well. Ugh!
