Tuna Casseroles

This just reminded me of something I did last month . Bumble Bee tuna sale 59c a can ! "Great price "thought senile ol' DB so I bought 10 cans , got home showed the wifey what a great bargain I got and opened a can and indulged (she left because Italians think eating tuna out of the can is disgusting ) but the tuna didn't taste good . I got pissed off and by the time I got halfway thru the can I had an email out to Bumble Bee about their crappy quality control and how much their product had degenerated from when I was a kid eating their tuna fish . Felt good cause I showed them and really ripped them another one . 2Weeks later and the wife is wondering why the other 9 cans of tuna are still clogging up her cupboard and when am I going to finish my " great bargain" ( yeah she talks with quotes) . I had to let her know and eat crow and told her that I wasted the money  and the tuna wasn't as good as it used to be but not to worry ,that I sent an email to Bumble Bee and was expecting an apology and maybe restitution for all 10 cans of crappy tuna . 
She looked at me and shook her head ! Whats with the head shake ? She reminded me that I was bought up on Chicken of The Sea and despised every other brand ,especially Bumble Bee . 
I think I'm getting too freaking old to be let out anymore  - the stray cats in the nieghborhood were eating well for 9 days

So I turned the fish into a really nice pie with a crumb on top and called it "chicken pie".   Well guess what?   They loved it.  

"What's for dinner tonight?"   "Chicken pie"   "Oh goody yum yum yum"

Years later I told them it was fish and they never forgave me and still to this day rant on and on and on about the 'chicken' pie.  

Funny how they'll latch on ...so long as they don't know what they're eating.  

I never could fool my kids, though.  I cooked beef tongue, and called it steak, slicing it like ya would flank steak.  Didn't fall for it, but ate it, anyway.  It was either that, or go hungry.

LOL.  Kids make the best drama queens on the planet, no?

But I hear ya.  I guess all kids have that one thing that just doesn't cut it for them.  Mine was lima beans.  When I was around 12, I asked my mom if I couldn't please beg off of them.  Honestly, it was all I could do just to swallow the things.  I got a reprieve.

But not liking fish?!  That's just not right.  Did you have them tested?

They 'remember' some things a lot differently than I do so maybe I should have Lol.

Kids.  I tried having my daughter tested for naivety, and they said none existed.  So, when the age of dating started around, I took her on drives, pointing out a few roads asking, "Now, do you think you should go along if a boy wants to drive down that one?"

Daughter:  "Why not?  I've never been there, and it looks kinda interesting."

 Kids!!

My mother used to sit me on the couch and sit next to me and say "ok we're going to pretend like we're at the movies".

Then she'd put her hand on my leg and say "ok what are you supposed to do?"   I was supposed to slap it away Lol.

It was a bit of fun but I know deep down she was quite serious.   The thing I remember the most is her telling me to be very careful because "men have more arms than an octopus!"
