For those times that you need to feed twenty-five women, here's a recipe you could turn to. The card is faded and stained, and I can imagine some harried woman trying to pull this dish together, while the kitchen wall phone rang and the pasta pot boiled over on the stove, putting the flame out. It looks like a little bit of water from the tuna splashed onto the recipe card. There are a few notes in pencil on the back for substitutions and serving suggestions. It's a time machine, back to another age, when salmon only came out of a can and pimentos seemed exotic.

When I was growing up, my mom was a really picky eater and (unfortunately) passed that on to me, at 22 I am really starting to expand my culinary horizons, but recipes like this make me realize why my mom was so conservative when it came to food!!
