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.

That's an awful lot of students. Do you mean you don't have actual chairs for them all? That sounds like a problem.

Hooray mouse!

Not mousse. Although I am pro-mousse in a general way it is not what I meant to say.

Connie, you might want to keep in mind that it is no trouble to hard boil 6 eggs (or 12) than 1, and you can freeze egg salad for later, if you dice the eggs pretty fine (bigger chunks will get rubbery but with smaller pieces that doesn't bother me).

I was just thinking ham salad would make a good addition to my repertoire, Bev. My basic recipe is stupid simple, though - mayonnaise, mustard, celery and/or whatever crunchy veggie I have lying around and is appealing to me, whatever protein, the end. I successfully used my egg salad prep (without any celery, etc., because crunchy stuff was not appealing at all) to do deviled eggs the other day and I did wish I had paprika to sprinkle on top (I assembled the deviled eggs at my desk, at home I would have paprika) but otherwise totally a win.
