TIPSY TUESDAY

MORNING EVERYONE

Sun is shining, birds are singing and my container pots look wonderful... I love the spring it is my favorite time of the year.. Today is a work day and this week will be hectic with only having a four day week and a ton of stuff to do... we had a great Easter weekend,, got lots done around the house , a son got engaged, and celebrated a good friends birthday.. The friends daughter and husband were there (newlyweds they are) and she brought a delicious white and chocolate cake.. so Danielle do not forget to send me the recipe so that I can post it on the blog.. I am not a huge fan of Tuna Casserole as I would much rather have Salmon but this is a great economical meal and quick and easy..

2. Gradually add evaporated milk, stirring constantly, scraping up any browned bits in bottom of skillet. Add peas. Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, or until milk is slightly thickened. Stir in tuna and NO YOLKS noodles. Spoon noodle mixture into a large, shallow baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

TIPSY TUESDAY

To warm a large bowl for serving pasta, put the serving bowl in the sink and place the colander in it. When the pasta is done, pour it into the colander, allowing the hot water to drain into the bowl. Pull the colander out of the serving bowl and let the pasta drain. Empty the hot water from the serving bowl and pour the pasta into the warm bowl.

I have had my smoothie , done my chit chatting with you all so with a cup of tea in hand off to the dungeon.. You have a great day and talk to you tomorrow.

Enjoy

Cheers
