Pearls kitchen was the center of our universe, not only as we were growing up but when we got married. Our kitchens were almost like clones of Mom's kitchen. We had our own style and newer stuff but there was always loaners from Mom, a grater, bowl, even a spoon. These loaners were treasures to us. We developed some of our own recipes and we always had to try them out in Pearl's kitchen when we got a chance. I remember one summer Lynn fixed us Tuna on Toast! Now something so simple was always a hit with mom (if she liked the taste) because almost everything she cooked was a "big" meal to please Daddy. Lynn shared this with us and I still make it with such wonderful memories of our childhood.
Lynn's Tuna on Toast
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup of chopped celery
1/2 cup of chopped onion
1 can of tuna (drained)
2 tbsp butter, or margarine
Saute onion and celery in butter until it smells like you want to eat it out of the pan right away. Add cream of chicken soup with about 1/2 can of water. Stir until there are no soup chunks left. Add tuna, break it up a little as you stir it in. Pour a Pepsi.
Make some toast with or without buttering it, your choice. Lynn cut the toast in 4ths, again your choice. On your favorite plate place toast and spoon hot tuna mix over it. Pile some Lay's potato chips on your plate. Now with your Mom and sisters laugh and eat and go "ummmm".
Still one of my favorites. Not the Pepsi!
ReplyDeletewait a second is the Pepsi to drink on the side or is supposed to be added to the tuna??
ReplyDeleteEither way, I prefer to drink it. Aunt Lynn had to have a Pepsi with everything and I have to have one when I make this tuna. If I drank coke I think she would spill it for me!!
