So what did I have for dinner tonight? Well, I love my job, but it does involve spending some nights in the hospital. And that involves some limited food choices. The doctors are fortunate in that they do leave some morsels in the executive dining room. Tonight, I had a tuna salad sandwich on wheat bread. This brings back memories of childhood and the soggy tuna sandwiches we brought to school on WonderBread!

Of course, the ones here are not soggy, thank heaven. Tonight's Quiz Topic TUNA 1. True or False.
