Ingredients:
Canned tuna
Coconut oil, spoonful
Healthy and delicious spices for antioxidants: turmeric, cumin, coriander, red chili pepper
Optional ingredient: Bitterness over living in Fairfax

Instructions:
After you've woken up late and right when you need to be walking out the door for work, assemble your ingredients. Open and drain your can of tuna as the spoonful of coconut oil melts in the pan. When the oil is melted, add your tuna and sprinkle liberally with the healthy and delicious spices that provide antioxidants.

Toss with a fork to lightly fry.



When your tuna looks sufficiently lightly fried and luridly yellow, remove from pan. Assemble sandwich for lunch: bread and cheese. OP does not indicate what kind of cheese, so recipe tester used best judgment and went with a slice of colby jack.



For best results, let sit in lunch bag for up to 4 hours before enjoying at room temperature for lunch. Due to time constraints, the recipe tester had to take bite as soon as sandwich was assembled because she was already late for work and had to get in the car to harangue husband during hour long commute.



Verdict: tastes as bad as living in Fairfax when you desperately want to live in DC feels.

Didn't OP use toasted whole wheat? None of this Wonder Bread crap. I'm also not feeling the colby jack. I think this calls for swiss or provolone. Also, that picture is making my house smell like fried tuna fish.

Okay guys, first of all this wasn't Wonder Bread, it was Nature's Own Butterbread, which is what my husband uses. I had already wasted my last can of tuna and a slice of perfectly good cheese on this monstrosity, I wasn't using good bread on it either, especially knowing I would take one bite. I did have provolone, mozzarella and colby jack in the fridge but ultimately went with colby jack. I cannot imagine provolone could have saved this sandwich's soul.

It made my house smell atrocious. I also had to brush my teeth a few minutes later because the lingering taste of turmeric and tuna was not pleasant.

Knowing how bad it was when freshly made, I am struggling to understand how OP eats it 4 hours later and has the temerity to declare it "Yum!"

OP wants the post deleted because it was "hijacked by bored housewives."

I'd like to know how she keeps from being fired. It doesn't sound like this was the first time she's arrived horribly late to work.

I just snickered at my desk again. Its just funny that its an integral part of their daily morning routine. Mine involves: teeth brushing, showering, coffee, pooping, getting dressed. Not all of us have the luxury of such a leisurely morning.
