The Basics

Egg and tuna salad, yum! I have a

taste for that. Piled high on whole

wheat bread, a sandwich of creamy

goodness oozing from all sides, a

thick slice of home grown tomato

on top…a simple yet scrumptious

delight for dinner tonight. Hard

boiled eggs shelled and sliced, two

cans of tuna pulled from the shelf,

diced onions, salt and pepper added

into the mix...but wait, the jar of

mayonnaise in the fridge is damn

near empty! Oh no, I forgot to have

my son get mayonnaise on his weekly

trip for me to the grocery store. (Given

my disabled condition, I no longer have

a car, don’t get around much anymore.)

It’s a crying shame, I tell you, the pits

having grown past the flexibility and

spontaneity of youth; not even able

to get a simple jar of mayonnaise for

my tuna and egg salad sandwich. Crap!

Hellmann’s, Kraft, even Miracle Whip

would do. The stupid brand doesn’t

really matter to me. French’s, friggin’

French’s mustard, I have nearly a full

bottle of that. Damn it all!! Tonight, I

suppose, hot dogs will have to do.
