Don't get in a huff, it's the name of a cookbook by Ernest Matthew Mickler, along the lines of those church lady cookbooks in the sense that the recipes are casually written and for down-home dishes. Down Southern home dishes, actually.

Just today I was rummaging through some boxes in the front bedroom and came across one full of some of my cookbooks. I honestly can't remember if these are ones that I'd packed up here to move to Colorado, or packed up there to move here and never got around to unpacking. They are some of my favorites, and I'd been wondering where they were. Now I've found them again, I can share some of the recipes.

Canned Corn Beef Sandwich

Butter two pieces of bread with mayonnaise (generously). Cover one with sliced canned corn beef (Spam) and bread 'n butter pickles. Top with the other piece of bread. This is delicious with a Cocola!

This next is pretty close to the way I make tuna salad, probably the way most people make it, for that matter.

Friday's Tuna Fish Salad
1 can of tuna fish
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons of pickle relish
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped up
Salt and pepper

Open your can of tuna fish. Turn it upside down (with the loose lid still on) and drain all the liquid out of the can into a small dish for the cat. Dump the tuna fish into a bowl. Add everything else and salt and pepper to taste. If it's not juicy enough for you, add more mayonnaise. Serve on a leaf of lettuce or make sandwiches out of the bowl.

There's nothing better with tuna fish than potato chips, so make sure you have a big bag for the folks.
