Every year on my birthday, my mother wraps up 5 little presents and sends them in a box, I open the box alone and usually find myself laughing like a hyena. There is always one present that cracks me up, be it wildly inappropriate ( postcards of naked men) a little off the wall (two kissing Buddhas) or plain bizarre ( the contents of her makeup drawer). This year in the mix I found the most splendidly wrapped package, adorned with silver bows, it felt substantial…I unwrapped it with joy…It was a can of tuna fish.
Birthday tuna fish, is always funny. But the curious thing about my mother is she has NO sense of sarcasm at all. everything funny about her, is genuine. When I called her up laughing about the tuna fish, she said ” Did you try it? its amazing! ” ” No Mom ” I said ” I’m not gonna eat my birthday tuna fish, I am keeping it forever” and she said ” your missing out, its the best tuna fish I have ever had” She went on to say that she liked it so much she had bought a case of 24 cans. Which I just find hysterical, I once bought a case of stuffed grape leaves off the Internet, and i think that’s totally acceptable, because stuffed grape leaves are hard to find, but tuna? tuna is everywhere. and how good can it really be. Its not like its infused with truffle oil and comes wrapped in a coupon for an ice cream sundae. The can says just tuna and made with love, that is all.I like tuna fish OK, but i am mayonnaise phobic and tuna and mayo usually hang out together so I have never developed a real relationship with the stuff, tuna is tuna.
This is the first time I have ever been wrong and it is enlightening! NOT ALL TUNA FISH IS CREATED EQUAL..Katys Smokehouse Tuna fish is seriously the most scrumptious thing I have put in my mouth in a long time..its like better then cake. www.katyssmokehouse.com it’s really just delicious. I went on line to buy a case myself, but it turns out I would be kicked out of parenthood if I spent $300 dollars on tuna and made my kids wear pillowcases as clothes. So for me it will have to wait a bit, but I encourage you friends to try for yourself the magical difference. Theres no metallic taste! Its just perfect and clean and good. I ate it straight out of the can with a few capers thrown in and I could have it again tomorrow. Im creeping myself out a little how wild I am for this tin of fish.
Lets just say this…when I sell my first novel, you are all invited over for tuna.
