Tuna Melt

We don't eat much seafood in our home. My husband typically doesn't like it, and I usually don't feel strongly enough about it to care.  So when I do get that urge to make some seafood, and it doesn't come that often, I usually go with that feeling.  And that's how I recently ended up making tuna melts for dinner.  It's not glamorous or even that good-looking, but it was incredibly satisfying.

And yes, I feel a little lame referring to canned tuna as "seafood."
