An Easy Old School Lunch
Get your can opener and grater out — tuna melts are damn delicious.
I am in for a treat today. My 86 year old mother-in-law, husband and I are holed up in a cabin in the deep north of Canada. We’re self isolating and doing loads of cooking. My mother-in-law is an amazing cook (she’d give Julia Child a run for her money) and this morning she said,
“Kids — I’m making you some comfort food for lunch today. How about my famous tuna melt?”
You should have seen how my husband’s eyes lit up! We cheered and you will too once you try her recipe.
Sometimes, especially in these strange times, going old school is the best way to go. You use ingredients on hand, and give them delicious twists — just as our parents and grandparents had to do to stretch meals a little further.
And whether you are working remotely, at home with kids or just holed up like we are — it certainly is an easy comfort food. And right now — we all need as much comfort as we can get.
