Tuna salad is one of those things I’ve always loved – I’m pretty sure I used to get made fun of in elementary school due to my “stinky” sandwiches, but I stuck to my guns and didn’t let those kids ruin my favorite sandwich! I now prefer it with a fork, served with a side…

How to start drinking your coffee BLACK
