When you can't find your slippers make tuna mornay

This morning I couldn't find my slippers. I had in my right hand, a pair of blue striped cotton explorers ready to put on when I found my slippers. If I put them on before I found my slippers they would get dirty from the floor. (my floor often has parts of the garden on it from the dog and the gardener going backwards and forwards). You see I might want to wear them to bed also, so I must not get them dirty. Now where are my slippers. Has the dog taken them? Surely not both slippers at once. Usually the telling part about the dog taking a slipper is that the other one is left standing ominously alone. I stomped around the house, from one end to the other with the socks still in hand. Did I leave them in the bathroom when I had my shower? Did a child steal them? "Yusef have you seen my slippers? I was so distraught that in my head I could hear the flapping noise that slippers make as I walked towards his room. I stopped and looked at his empty floor gazed downwards but inwards a little towards myself and then I saw my slippers! On my feet.

Some days when you can't find your slippers. or there is no meat or fresh vegies, or you feel a bit like a guinea pig in a little dog's mouth, the only thing to make is Tuna Mornay.

You only need: a can of tuna, milk, butter, cheese, onion, cornflour and rice. ( you should be able to find all of these on a bad day)

put the rice on. ( rice cooker is best and easiest - buy one today!)
(if you have any vegies put them in the microwave)
Fry the onion in a little saucepan ( here you can add vegies like chopped capsicum, mushrooms,)
When browned remove the saucepan from the heat.
Add one tablespoon of real cornflour and stir in, then add one can of tuna ( how big is up to you or your cupboard) and stir quickly. Then add a cup or more of milk and then a cup of grated cheese.
(here's where you add frozen peas and corn if you have them or throw in a can of corn)
Return to stove top on medium heat and stir till the first bubble boils them quickly remove.

serve some rice in a bowl and pour the mornay over the top.
(kids and teenagers love this meal!)

Now where did I put that dog?
