"Tuna Muppet is Dismayed by Cottage Cheese Volcano"
January 6, 2011

Ingredients:
Tuna fish mix*
White bread
Cottage cheese
Kosher dill pickle
Pearl onion (with a bit of chopped black olive for the eye)

*This changes frequently, but can typically include any combination of the following: mayonnaise, sour cream, yellow and/or whole grain mustard, kosher dill pickle, jalapeno, pearl onion, hard-boiled egg, black olive, wasabai sauce, white or green onion, cranberries, etc. It may be safe to say I have not made tuna fish twice the same way in a long time. Choose your own tuna recipe.

So, my mom has this policy whenever she makes tuna fish. She will make a sandwich and a half for me every time she makes me a tuna sandwich. One time, I made the mistake of making only one sandwich for her. It was on very large bread, but she did seem to want to nitpick it. This policy does not apply to other sandwiches, just tuna.
I was trying to decide what to do with a plate full of tuna sandwich halves, when I remembered something somebody had said about doing a face in profile. I thought that was a great idea, so this was my first attempt at doing so. I had questions as to what to do with the pickle. I considered making the sandwich look like Gonzo, but I reconsidered.

Due to the items I use mostly taking the form of googly eyes, I frequently refer to the representatives in the food as "muppets".
