Y'all go ahead and shoot me, but I raised my kids on tuna noodle casserole. Cook egg noodles; can of drained tuna, can of cream of mushroom soup, handful of grated cheese out of the bag, 12-oz bag of frozen green peas. Stir it all up together, stick it in a casserole dish, bake until bubbly. It was far from wonderful, but it was certainly edible, and the kids loved it. And it was quick, which was a requirement when I was shuttling between band practice, softball practice and a volleyball game. 

 

I'd eat it today. If I were hungry, and it was all that was handy.

 

My recipe is quite similar to yours except I add minced onion, celery, cream of celery soup (instead of mushroom),

then a mix of milk, mayo and grated cheese into a sauce.  I also use high quality tuna like Italian packed in oil or Tuna Guys brand.

DH who'd always hated his mother's tuna casserole loved mine.  Me too.  I still make it regularly.

In fact, now that you've mentioned it, I may have to mix some up for dinner it sounds so good!

No, skipped them today. @robirdstxconvinced me a few posts up that we're going to have burgers and onion rings tonight

Yes! after perusing the Tookie's website and Yelp, nothing would do a couple days ago except a cheeseburger. Thanks @robirdstx! And the rest of y'all, when you eat out, please say the name of the restaurant and at least the town or city so I can go look at some delicious food porn. xD Even those hole in the walls without websites usually have a presence on Yelp. Even before the internet and Yelp, one of my greatest pleasures in life was reading a good menu. Boy, do I dislike pushy, impatient waitstaff when it's my virgin voyage at a restaurant. Now, I always can get familiar with the offerings and even advise anyone with me when I go to a new restaurant.

"Business lunch" in Xinjiang province, China. The (very friendly) secretary assumes that every lunch has to have a western element, at least when I come around. That is why - next to the excellent Kabaozi (or Samsa), e.g. Lamb-meat filled and baked dough pockets - I was offered the ever so popular Pizza Hut "Spicy Mayo Crayfish" pizza. Took one slice and ate four Kabaozi. And made sure she saw my preference :P

Last night, I boned a couple of duck legs to make dinner. I made a stock with the bones, as you do.

 

I also, had half an uncooked duck breast in the freezer, as you do. So lunch today was duck, asparagus, wild rice stems, garlic, ginger, chilli, white pepper soup with 'knife cut noodles*.

Here is my second helping before I added soup to the bowl. You can see the noodles more clearly.

* I'd love to say I made the noodles myself, but...

 

Although, I have made them in the past, today I bought them dried. Making a batch for one or two bowls of soup isn't sensible. The dried ones aren't as good as the fresh ones, of course. But acceptable.

Takeaway.

Grapevine leaves and cabbages are filled with rice, with different flavorings each.

Green stuff is wild chicory with onion.

+ Labneh and zaatar.

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

The last slice of the Taleggio & spinach roulade from Ottolenghi's Plenty More with the grated carrot salad from David Lebovitz's My Paris Kitchen

IMG_5730.thumb.jpg.22cb693aeadb9dbf02079980f6b0769a.jpg

The roulade was cut into serving-size slices and frozen, reheated in the CSO and sliced on the diagonal.

Grated carrot salad was made, as specified in the cookbook, with an authentic French Mouli-juilenne:
