The origins of this household tradition are still unclear to me. Perhaps it was Mom's Catholic upbringing or maybe the fact that it only required cracking open a can and a bag of bread that marked Sunday "tuna" day.
After church, my sisters and I would groan immediately for lunch as we "didn't eat enough of an adequate breakfast" before mass, or so my parents would caustically claim. Once home they'd concoct a "quick and easy" lunch-- tuna sandwiches (however, recently hot dogs have made the cut as an alternative lunch item).
This Sunday, Mom, Dad, and I mutually decided to stray from our ordinary routine and experiment a little. The picture above displays the fruits of our creations. Freshly squeezed lemon, zest, and sacred sweet sun-dried tomatoes top tuna chunks on golden crispy whole grain crackers. Healthy and scrumptious.
