  2. Woo! Lovely low carb salad, using cauliflower as a substitute for macaroni.

    1 cup cubed cauliflower (boiled, cooled)
    1/2 cup diced avocado
    1 can tuna, drained
    mayonnaise, salt, pepper

    Very nice and pretty close if not exactly the same. Good enough!

    1. Must be regional differences. I don't recall ever seeing a salad with both tuna and macaroni. In fact, it's been long enough since I saw macaroni salad I had trouble remembering it existed. Penny doesn't buy it and I don't see it in restaurants.

    2. You know, I don't recall ever seeing it at a restaurant. Maybe it was an adaption from my mother's tuna casserole? It's certainly something she'd do: a meat stretcher, so to speak, lol! Can make salad enough for four from one can of tuna, grin.

  3. Sitting in a hotel room in Seattle. Meeting went well. It was mostly for people above my level, but there were a couple of items about my area and I learned other things that will prove useful as well as getting to know people better. Looks like I can skip the next one, though.

    Back on the Empire Builder tomorrow.

  4. Judging by the prayer on the last thread, it looks to me as though St. Francis was a Deaniac. But then, all the best people are.

    We got a new kitten yesterday, appropriately.

    Finally ordered a turntable (This one has built-in speakers so is really a phonograph in its own right) that plugs into the computer. Excitedly awaiting its arrival. Also downloaded from Audible a hard SF novel called The Martian that was reviewed in the October Asimov's.

  5. Temperatures here are running in the low nineties; very warm for September.

    Re "brobdinagian;" Brobdinag was one of the lands Gulliver visited, where everything and everyone was huge--just the opposite of Lilliput.
