I made this post tonight first and by the time I got through making all of my other post it was pretty far down the list of post. Thought that I would bump it back up to the top so everyone might reconize it as being new.

Im going to try it now some reason I missed this recipe. By the way for everyone who reads these recipes and doesnt try them they are the stupidest buch of people in this world. Tobey puts a lot of effort into these and people like me who have limited experince behind a stove really appriecate them becasuse the taste great and there pretty easy GOOD WORK TOBEY


EVERYONE READ TOBEYS POST ON MUSCULAR DISTROPHY AND FOLLOW HIS DIERCTIONS ITS THE LEAST WE CAN DO

yummm, tuna and water. If you add enough water I guess you could drink it. That would be pretty sick. That's like the raw egg thing. Everytime I tell people I eat a dozen egg white's every morning, a bunch of people assume I drink them. I couldn't stomach that. I like the tuna casserole recipe, it will give me some new variety.

[Tobey]

Yeah ptjason,
Years ago after the first Rocky movie ever came out I tried swallowing raw eggs every morning.(I guess I'm telling my true age huh?) I never could keep them down. I even tried to put raw eggs in my protien shakes, could'nt keep them down either. They always made me sick on my stomach. Man when I think about some of the things that I use to try it is a wonder that I ever survived.

Pure A- Better watch out, keep boasting me up like that and I'm liable to develope an ego! Thanks for the post, and good luck with your diet.

You deserve it for all the work you do on this board

[ptbyjason]

Tobey, I don't know anyone who still drinks eggs. I never got up enough nerve to try it. That is one thing that I hope never comes back in style. I don't know how you ever tried it, but better you than me.

Ive tried it years ago but I would never do it now since the whole salmoninlla thing going around
