Summer Tuna Salad July 6, 2009

Filed under: Recipes — The Oswald's @ 4:26 pm

I love tuna salad, which is weird because I don’t like mayo.  Anyway, I found this really yummy and healthy recipe and just had to share it.  What I love is the fact that there isn’t any mayo, so it’s the perfect picnic dish.

Tuscan-Style Tuna Salad

  • 2 6-oz cans chunk light tuna, drained (I like the pkgs best & in water)
  • 1 15-oz can cannellini or great northern beans, rinsed
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 4 scallions, trimmed and sliced
  • 2 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil (I like using good olive oil b/c it tastes best ‘raw’)
  • 2 TBSP lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • fresh pepper to taste

Combine ingredients and stir gently.  Refridgerate until ready to serve.  Makes 4 (1 cup) servings.

 

Is it really that much extra effort? July 6, 2009

bonton-greenWhy is it that my neighbor has such a hard time picking up after her dog?  We set a good example by picking up after Miss Zoey.  What gives?!?

As Association Treasurer, do I charge  $10 each week when one of us is mowing the yard and has to step on/walk over/drive over a pile?  Do I pick it up and set it on their doorstep…on fire?  Do I buy them a set of poop bags?

Yesterday I actually caught her in the act of pooping and leaving.  I should have just walked out and handed her a bag!  Really, isn’t that a part of pet ownership?!
