I should give my friend credit: when she said she was "leaving now," it was her house around the corner, not her parents' a mile away, where I thought she was, so she was really only ~20 minutes late. And dinner was delicious! And I was home by nine. So all in all, a good one.

The most recent recommendation on tuna I've seen depended on your age, I think with older people "allowed" to have more? Where did I get that?

Huh, maybe that was some other fish, I can't find anything referencing it. But I found this [link] and this chart [link]

Now it's gonna bug me, what was the age-related dietary seafood guideline I almost remember?

Glad to hear it, Jesse.

I eat tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad, crab salad, and shrimp salad regularly, which are all basically the same recipe just swapping the protein. And they all freeze fine, afaic,so I can make larger batches and not have to eat it all up before it goes bad. I just divy it up into single-portion-sized containers so I can pull tomorrow's lunch out of the freezer in the evening to let it start thawing, and dump it over greens (actually into the bottom of a mason jar which I then fill with greens because I am all about salads in jars these days) or into half an avocado, or maybe wrap up in a tortilla.

Yay, Consuela!

I think I've retrieved all stray tomatoes and tomato carnage from this morning's Great Tomato Massacre. God, I hope so. Would be bad otherwise. I should've taken pictures, but it was 7:30 and I was trying to get to work. Epic, epic mess from less than a pint of super ripe cherry tomatoes.

2 more days swimming @ Druid. I'm not minding it other than the driving (it's close-only 10 minutes-so only marginally longer than my walk-but I got stuck behind a stupid beer truck on the way home and the light at Charles is horridly timed and I was chlorine itchy!) I'll probably swim there on occasion next summer. Especially if I've moved to the new building.

The Mid-Atlantic team in the Little League World Series is my hometown team. They are currently beating the Midwest team from Missouri 18-0 in the bottom of the 3rd. The game is on ESPN. This is a special team with some serious mojo going on.

Glad you were able to find a good alternative, sara.

I'm with -t on salad recipe, mine is basically my (former) potato salad without the potatoes*, also my egg salad, with tuna, chicken, diced or shredded cooked ham. I have used leftover turkey white meat, it's not as successful. The important ingredient in all, though, is coarsely chopped hard-cooked egg, with green and or black olives, and/or chopped dill pickles, or chopped sweet pickle, mayo, mustard, onion* and garlic powder, black pepper, horseradish to taste, if desired, and paprika on the top for color.

My boss' near-hysterical younger sister was amazed to learn my emergency shrimp salad recipe: equal amounts canned shrimp and drained cooked small pasta shells, add cocktail sauce, toss, serve.

*I can't eat potatoes or onion solids

And also: YAY, Consuela!

Hmm, ham salad, hadn't thought of that. I could put grated cheese in that. I do love me some ham.

I love egg salad, but I hate the prep. Yes, boiling water annoys me. First World problem for the win.

In other news, I found the missing mouse for my desktop computer!

Yay! Consuela, congrats!

Burrell, while I can't imagine it should matter, schools where tracking occurs it most often occurs because of math. Now, I don't have an issue with tracking, but, it's better for her to have a firm grasp on middle school math and one that was rushed through or incompletely taught.

In other news, my AP Lit class now has a enrollment of 46 kids. I have seats for 40. I keep agreeing to take more kids because if a student wants to take AP, they should get that opportunity, but it does increase my usual challenge.
