Ingredients 1/2 loaf day-old crusty bread or 2 crusty day-old rolls 1 to 1 1/4 pounds tuna steaks, 1-inch thick -- 2 big steaks 1 cup white wine Water 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon peppercorns 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil -- 1 turn of the pan 4 tablespoons butter, divided 2 large shallots, chopped 16 small button mushrooms, thinly sliced Salt and pepper 1 1/2 teaspoons ground thyme or poultry seasoning 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups chicken stock 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half 1 cup baby frozen peas 1 pound extra-wide egg noodles, cooked to al dente or 12 ounces, 1 box, egg fettuccini Chopped fresh parsley leaves, to garnish Directions Place bread in warm oven, 250 degrees F, to dry and toast, 20 minutes. Place tuna in a skillet and add wine, then water -- just enough to cover fish. Add bay leaf and peppercorns.

Bring liquids to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover skillet. Poach fish for 12 minutes.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil, 1 turn of the pan, and 2 tablespoons butter--reserve remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add shallots and mushrooms and season with salt and pepper.

Saute gently for 5 minutes. Sprinkle in ground thyme or poultry seasoning and flour and cook flour 1 minute, stirring with whisk. Whisk in stock, then cream.

Adjust seasonings. Add peas. Remove cooked, poached tuna to a bowl and flake fish with a fork.

Add cooked noodles and tuna to sauce. Remove sauce from heat and transfer mixture to a casserole or serving dish. Use the widest cutting edge on a box grater to grate the bread into large crumbs.

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small cup in microwave and pour melted butter over bread, Scatter buttery bread crumbs and parsley over the top of the casserole. Serve immediately.

A great tuna casserole has layers of tuna, creamettes, American cheese, corn, and a splash of whole milk into it before baking. I would add some lemon juice and maybe a bit of fresh dill to the tuna before adding it to the dish. You also can add extra flavor by using a different cheese like maybe pepper jack or cheddar.

Top with the cheese and you can also sprinkle some Romano or Parmesan on the very top. Maybe even some of those fried onions in the can.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
