WBEZ – my local NPR station – was talking about new thoughts on what to feed babies and when. The host was translating the topic to his own family, telling how his teenage son had been so excited to see a baguette on the dinner table the previous evening because they so rarely ate white bread anymore; and one of the guests responded “But, that’s so sophisticated! When we were kids it was all about Wonder Bread.”
And, just like that, I had an overpowering desire for a loaf of fluffy white bread.
Of course, this being 2015 and all, I bought a whole grain loaf of fluffy white bread; now, what to do with it?
Tuna salad!
And not just any tuna salad, but our very favorite tuna salad with curry.
“Wait! What?” I can hear you ask – “curry in tuna salad?”
Yeahyoubetcha! It is, what is the term I’m looking for? Oh, yeah, wicked good.

•1/2 cup good mayonnaise
