Want Tuna Casserole. Don't ask me why.
Have tuna and little cans of peas. Invest in cream of mushroom soup and elbow noodles.
Don't look up any recipes until the noodles were noodling.
Recipe wants cheese and breadcrumbs. Don't have cheese. Don't have breadcrumbs. Do have crackers. Most important thing recipe provides is time and temperature of oven.
Noodles are done. Begin to assemble casserole.
Discover little can of peas isn't peas. It's corn. Additional cans prove to be cream corn or greenbeans. Go with the greenbeans.
Manage to get tuna juice all over fingers. Ah well.
Can't get all of the cream of mushroom soup out of the can without violence and not feeling violent. But it is annoying. Poptop lid leaves a rim that blocks my spoon. Ah well.
Casserole dish is just barely large enough to hold noodles, soup, beans. After careful mixing, mash the lot down and top with crackers and a bit of butter.
Bake.
Eat.
Okay, it's a bit strange. But it's good strange. And it certainly explains why my sink is full of dirty dishes again.

Noodling is my new favorite word.
Recipe wants cheese and breadcrumbs. Don't have cheese. Don't have breadcrumbs. That seems like a metaphor for my life.
Discover little can of peas isn't peas. It's corn. Most amusing bit. I lol'ed. A lot. :D
I have a feeling this wasn't as amusing to you (at least, as it was happening) as it was to me, but I have to say that this kind of brightened up my day a bit. =) [Your account of the ordeal, that is. Not the actual fact that you had to struggle so much.]
