Picky

Some might say I'm a picky eater; I prefer to think of myself as selective.  The funny thing is, I'm usually up for trying most new things.  While visiting Tanzania and Trinidad, I tried many new and interesting foods.  I also might be content to never try them again, but at least I ate something new.  I have a limit, though.  There is a food "group" that I refuse to eat or even taste.  It all comes down to one word: FISH.  To me, fish also includes crab, lobster, oysters, scallops, shrimp, etc.  (Even though I know these are technically crustaceans, not fish.  It's all the same!) 
I usually try not to use this word, but I HATE fish.  It gives me the willies.  And it's not just eating fish.  What else don't I like concerning fish?

• Swimming with fish (Not that I actually "swim" much, but who would want to in a body of water where fish relieve themselves & nibble on your toes?!)
• Smelling fish...enough said
• Fishing (Did it once, and once was enough.  And yes, I made my uncle and cousin put the worm on and take the fish off!)

Like I said, I refuse to eat fish.  (I do admit to eating a shark burger in Trinidad because it was the only option.  And I promise it tasted like chicken!)  I remember being stuck at the kitchen table and not being able to choke down my fish sticks, no matter how much ketchup they were smothered in.  But now it's turned into me ordering chicken at Red Lobster :). 
While my husband loves fish, the only type I allow in my house is probably one of the most-hated types for most everybody else: tuna.  This is probably the only seafood dish you'll ever see me eat!  It also helps that it's fast and simple!

Tuna Noodle Casserole
2 c. water
1 1/2 c. uncooked noodles
1 can tuna (in water), drained
1 can cream of chicken soup
10 oz. frozen peas (I use less; about 1/2 a bag)
     Pour water into a 2-quart casserole dish.  Microwave on high for 5 minutes.  Stir in noodles and peas and cook on high for 10 minutes or until noodles are tender.  (Do not cover dish.)  Drain.  Stir in in tuna and soup.  Top with Velveeta slices and allow cheese to melt.  (I usually microwave for about 3 more minutes.)  Stir and serve.
