It's gonna be a Good Friday!...(if you don't open your brown bag and find beef.)

I attended catholic school as a child. And this is the week that of course kicks off lent with Ash Wednesday. I can remember many a Lenten Friday sitting down in the gym / cafeteria and all the good little pupils unwrapping their tuna fish sandwiches or their little pb&j's...and I would dive into my brown bag and reach in and pull out a whopping roast beef sandwich extra rare with like a side of au jus....(I'm not kidding)Thanks mom!! :)
So aside from it being a catholic holiday/tradition it is a great way to start to incorporate more fish into our diets. Since the weekend is when we tend to do some damage to our health on a regular basis we can afford to do a little something better for our selves...especially seeing how fish is super cheap and on sale EVERYWHERE!!!(Nows the time to stock up on tuna as well it's 10 for $10 in every store!!)
so I have your first offering for our Fish Fridays...it's a tuna fish sandwich, for all those kids who had to en dour the shame and ridicule brought on by brown bags full of meat on their good Fridays..here's to you!(my mum's friend Joanne used to visit from England with her kids and she would make this tuna every time we went to the beach this is one of my favorite ways to eat tuna )
Joanne's English Tuna(serves 2)
 1can tuna                     1/4cup diced red onion
1tbsp mayo                      1/4 cup diced pickles or relish
1tsp mustard                    1/4 cup diced cucumbers
1tbsp chopped dill           1tsp old bay seasoning
1 dash onion powder       (2 onion bulkie rolls )

Mix all ingredients together and serve in bulkie rolls . If being sent via brown bag send a little love note on the napkin...it lets them know you care.
