When Dad had to work at night Mom always made her famous tuna casserole for us.
Certainly not the healthiest of meals but it brings back a lot of memories.
Times were tough, money was tight back then. 1 can of tuna, some soup, a few vegies and some potato chips made a warm and belly filling supper for us.
I still make this casserole and every time I do it's like Mom is in the kitchen with me.
