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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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?
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!
3 minutes in, first derailing of the morning conference call.
Now we're debating the meaning of the word "defer."
Well, that sounds important. And necessary, I'm sure.
That sounds delish, Liese.
Do not want to go to work today. Would much rather sleep.
Good lord, Dana.
Y'all can have all the tuna casserole. Gack!
We had 38 items to review. The official meeting end is now, and we're on number 13.

Ugh, that gave me some bad work flashbacks.
My Mom made delicious tuna casserole--classic egg noodles, cream of mushroom soup, canned tuna. She also usually put walnuts on top because, like me, she thinks everything is better if it's a little nutty!
We had yummy dinner last night--grilled lamb steak sliced and tossed with a parsley/mint pesto I'd made a while ago and froze, grilled corn on the cob, grilled green beans, potato and yellow squash casserole. And I made a stone fruit and blue berry crisp in the cast iron pan for dessert!
I'm trying to wake up earlier so I can get ready to be in the UK next week so this morning I went to my friend's 6:30 yoga class. Now I REALLY want to nap but I'm going to try not to. Or at least try to get something productive done before I nap. I really want to nap.
