sorry charlie

For some reason, I can never seem to remember that I don't like tuna.

Don't misunderstand---I love beautiful jewel-red slabs of bluefin and ahi and bigeye served rare and known by more exotic names like 'maguro' or 'toro'. What I don't like is the kind that comes in a can, is traditionally mixed with mayonnaise, and is always referred to with "fish" after the name. As in tunafish sandwich . Like the one I just made for lunch.

Ugh. Why, WHY? I'm not sure why I even buy it in the first place. So it can sit in the pantry until that fateful day 6 months later when I decide, against my better judgment, that a tunafish sandwich sounds good? Or so I can set it down halfway through and proclaim it to be completely disgusting? Or perhaps, just to keep my internal mercury levels acceptably high?

And yet I keep buying it, making it, eating it, and regretting it...someone, please stop me!
