Stir fry is always an option. But it would be chicken, again... so not tonight.

Edit... missed the "salad" part. Still, it sounds good. I've been eating a lot more salad lately.

Salad is great on hot muggy days. My wife makes a killer stir fry salad. Steak is cooked up with onions, peppers both green and jalapeno, some water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. Let it cool a bit than onto a bed of romaine and spinich. Topped with your favorite dressing (my fave at the moment is a Vadalia onion or a dill cucumber dressing). So good.

JJ, i am the same...

no aversion to Tuna, but i am just not a fan of it, at all, unless it is raw with sushi....

I was much the same. Tuna was never a favorite but I tuna sammies were just fine and tuna casserole a staple but somewhere over the years I completely lost my taste for it. I don't know what happened.

That all sounds perfect. I'm going to try that when we have some steak in the house.

I like tuna casserole... the kind with chowmein noodles and cashews... but it has to have a good amount of nuts. I don't like the kind with pasta and peas.

I love turkey tetrazini which is pretty much your first recipe but with turkey instead of tuna.

My A8 went to the body shop this morning, to repair the incident with the drunk driver. You know you live in a hillbilly country when the rental car company has 39 different trucks and 7 cars. The nicest is a 2014 Subaru Legacy. Not a bad car but it's no A8... yea I know... first world problems. :P

Texas has a complete love affair with trucks. Even in urban areas many drive these beasts, all jacked up, giant tires, the whole truck thing. Thing is that many have no idea how to drive one and accidents with trucks is exceedingly common. Whenever there is a road blocking accident, odds are that some truck is on the highway wheels skyward.

Sounds a lot like Pendleton.

Trouble is JJ being big does not make them safe. They are certainly not as stable as a car yet people drive them like they are a sports car. It is the same over here, only we don't have models as large as you guys. Most are just the normal sized dual cab like a Toyota Hilux or a VW Amarok. To see a Ford F250 or a Toyota Tundra sized vehicle over here is quite rare. The incidence of accidents with them is so high up here in Queensland you actually pay a higher registration charge on utes to cover the spiralling cost of injury claims.

"So when are you going to upgrade to a real camera and stop playing with toys?" --- Local photography club 'leader' said to me today. He is a die hard Nikon user. All I could do was laugh.

Trucks are very popular around here, but that is to be expected since Southern Ontario is primarily farmland. There still is a lot of truck owners who have zero need for a truck, it's just some sort of status symbol.

I love my truck. I use it as a truck. I haul trailers all the time, I had a load of compost in it a week ago, firewood before that. It's dirty more than it is clean (outside), and I have no qualms about taking it down muddy roads. I am not a fan of the fuel mileage, but everything else that it is capable of offsets that. It's easy on repairs and cheap to insure. Seats 6 and will go through a whole lot of snow.

A fair sized pack of coyotes just went by. Could hear them through closed windows, so I opened mine to listen. Lots of "voices" of various ages, they definitely have pups with them. They certainly were not very far off either, I'd guess that they were just on the other side of the tracks, in the fields. Hopefully they never discover the plentiful bunny population that lives on this side of the tracks, or the neighbours chickens.

Camping in the yard is definitely not something I'll be doing again any time soon. A single coyote is dangerous enough, but a pack is rather scary. And around here they have been showing no signs of fear around humans.

Have people been hurt there by coyotes?

Same question. We had lots of coyotes back in IL and here in TX as well as we live right next door to a wilderness area. They have been in my yard taking a drink from the pool quite a few times. They can be dangerous to pets that are allowed to wander, especially cats, but I have never heard of a attack on people.

I just looked it up. 160 attacks in 30 years with over 1/2 in California. Sounds like something to be aware of but the odds of getting killed by lightning is far greater.

Alberta is the same, maybe it has to do with the oil industry being so prominent. Other provinces have them too, but nowhere near as many. All my wife's relatives from Ontario comment on how many pickups they see. I think the numbers are dwindling, as costs to operate go higher and higher, especially for those of use with diesels.
