“French Toasted Tuna Sandwiches”
FILLING (and bread)
1 cup flaked tuna fish (drained)
1/2 cup minced celery
1/4 cup chopped sweet pickle
Dash of pepper (no salt in filling)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
12 thin slices white bread
TOASTING MIXTURE
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Butter or margarine (use butter)
Combine tuna, celery, pickle, seasonings, and mayonnaise and mix well.
Make up 6 sandwiches with bread and set aside.
Mix eggs, milk, sugar, and salt in a pie pan.
Dip each sandwich into egg mixture, being sure to coat each side completely.
Sauté sandwiches slowly in butter in hot skillet on both sides until filling is thoroughly heated and sandwiches are golden brown.
Serve with cranberry sauce (don’t knock it until you’ve tried it), or pickled watermelon.
Makes 6 sandwiches.
Notes from me:
Salmon?… crab?…. corned Beef?…etc…?
With Salmon you wouldn’t want sweet relish. You would want more of a caper thing going on. Salmon needs extra salt.
And you might want to think about replacing the celery. Or eliminating it all together. Although, something crunchy would be nice. And if you want some sweet, try a nice corn relish on the side.
The filling sounds like something my mom used to make. Only she put it in hot dog buns with a slice of American cheese. Wrapped in foil and baked long enough to melt the cheese.
Noooooh! I’m fasting for an ultrasound sheduled for tomorrow. No dairy, no eggs, no protein, no fried food. Those are the four basic food groups in my world!
More has come to light about him than was well known in the 1950’s when that film was made.
One problem is that every source of information has its own views of him… even his Wikipedia page gets re-edited and the opinions change between readings.
I was going to quote something I remembered from there, but it has disappeared and been replaced with something more positive.
…
He did a lot of great things, including his famous flight, his views on what we now call ecology, his inventions, and some of his inspirational writings and speeches.
…
But he was openly antisemitic, a strong believer in eugenics, and racial purity.
In fact, he wrote about the supremacy of the white European race, and the “fact” that America would only be safe if white blood were not “tainted” with Asian, brown and black, or Jewish.
He was also an admirer of Adolf Hitler, though supposedly not of the Holocaust.
He and Henry Ford wrote to each other about the Jews and what should be done.
….
He and his family fled the US during all the publicity about the kidnapping of their first child… they stayed in Germany during the growth of the Nazi party, and he made excuses for the invasion of Poland.
I’ve seen quotations from his writing condemning the concentration camps, but other bits where he said something must be done about “the Jewish problem” though maybe Hitler went a little too far.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh toured some large homes abandoned by wealthy Jews fleeing Nazi persecution, and was quoted as saying she’d like to stay in Germany and raise their children in one of them.
…
He was such a strong believer in the superiority of his own blood that in addition to his six children with Anne, he secretly fathered seven more with three women in Germany, in an attempt to purposely spread his genes.
Anne didn’t know, nor did the women supposedly know about each other, even though I think two were sisters, so I wonder.
They knew who he was but it was kept secret from the children, who were given fake last names, and didn’t find out till many years later that they were Lindbergh children. DNA tests more recently proved it.
…
I’m not going to deny his greatness as an aviator, but I’ve lost my admiration for him as a human being.
I know hunters can buy lots of weird things to either find animals or keep them away…. and probably at all of the above places.
Hope you are feeling better!
The boss actually made me stay home.
And i haven’t been around my little old lady.
It’s not Covid. I have nothing in my lungs or sinuses. It’s all muscle and body ache. Thats the flu. 🙁
Ive been sleeping like my cat. 🙂
Oh, and i can taste and smell what i’m eating, but i’m only eating because i know i should. 🙂
Of course, it could be any old flu, or another virus…
I’m not trying to hassle you, only to say these things are sneaky.
I just thought most of your clients were elderly and/or vulnerable.
I didn’t know you only had one “little old lady.”
…
I had RSV a few years ago, and it felt exactly like the flu…. but it wouldn’t go away for weeks.
I was told to stay away from babies and “people over 60”, for their protection, which I thought was pretty funny.
How do I stay away from myself?
…
Within the last year, a friend and my nephew both had Covid… one felt slightly ill, but with no respiratory symptoms, the other had absolutely no symptoms at all.
They only found out they had it because they were in situations requiring testing… one for traveling, one for work.
Both were considered contagious, not allowed to go ahead until they got a negative PCR test.

Here is a two minute video tour of the temple.
There is no vocal narrative, but the captioning is clear.
Fascinating,
Those Buddhists are a fun bunch! It is pretty amazing.

I think I’ll look for a different type of action, thank you very much.
LOL….
Sorry, but through modern eyes, he looks like he might just be offering a different type of “action”.
A short article about James Montgomery Flagg from the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Renwick Gallery. You can just make out his signature on the poster.
Good night people and pets.
Regardless of what she’s singing, I suspect I would find Betty Hutton’s voice grating.
I made it to 56 seconds and shut this recording down.
I find Betty Hutton’s voice just fine. I have a greater problem with Jimmy Stewart’s voice as Charles Lindburgh.
Betty Hutton was more about novelty songs than ballads.
She could belt out a tune at high volume, in the Ethel Merman tradition, and was a lively dancer, a big personality… an entertainer, not a chanteuse.
Her voice evoked music halls and USO shows, not the opera stage.
I think it works well for the kind of music she performed.
She hit the right notes. More than i can do. 😀
whole heartedly agree……I love her bouncy enthusiasm
I got 8 kilograms for $7.16 on Sunday. 🙂 🙂
French Toast
If the kitchen is still open, I’ll have that please. Hold the butter and syrup.
how long do I have to hold it?—it’s getting sticky
You can set it down anytime you like….
Just not on my plate.
I do like butter, if its real, but French toast is usually cooked in enough of it…
And I know I’ll get booed, but I dislike maple syrup.
A fried egg would be good with it though.
Thanks for the laugh!
Here’s an odd but interesting variation.

That possum looks pretty dead to me.
Roll in it, roll it on… you’re gonna stink like dead possum either way.

Yikes! I’d hate to be what he is going after. Beautiful picture, though!
Did i post this yet? I am amazed by Kingfishers.
Yes.
That is what I call a purposeful expression.

There are audio clips of Lindbergh at the site as well.

i certainly agree with you! never knew ANY of that!
Especially your last line!
Where do you even get sometime like that? Amazon? Chewy? Walmart?
Acme Corporation’s cosmetic division makes it.
It’s endorsed by Wile E. Coyote.
I know hunters can buy lots of weird things to either find animals or keep them away…. and probably at all of the above places.
Hope you are feeling better!
Kinda. I just found out that i’m not going into work tonight.
does this mean you’re feeling worse? get well soon!
Mostly the same. Yucky. I think i’m getting used to it.
Have you not done a covid test?
Even the free home antigen tests will tell you if you have it, though you can’t trust a negative one to prove that you don’t.
I’m amazed that they want you to come in, no matter how short handed they are…
without testing not only for covid, but RSV and flu, as well.
You work with such vulnerable clients,
The boss actually made me stay home.
And i haven’t been around my little old lady.
It’s not Covid. I have nothing in my lungs or sinuses. It’s all muscle and body ache. Thats the flu. 🙁
