This is a good story, Kristi. I am still smiling and shaking my head. What is it with some of these recipe writer folks anyways? That photo you show of the example-to-aim-for tuna cake. I mean, crikey. Those look like they were fried in a vat of fat to get a crunchy look like that. Had the recipe said: Get yourself a gallon of oil and dump it in your pan…you woulda said: No Way. And you would have saved all that tuna…
Argh. Don’t get me started on recipes that are incomplete or down play an ingredient or technique…
This was such a fun read…Thank you!
P.S. Sorry I have been invisible on Medium for a bit. Just trying to now find my writing groove to add into the year of only reading.
Stay safe and healthy!
