Recipe Wednesday - Tuna Pasta Salad



This is the easiest lunch in the world!

Mainly protein from the tuna and beans, and carbohydrates from the pasta. Great to brown bag. It heats up in a flash in my trusty microwave but it is delicious cold as well!

Ingredients
1 can of tuna fish chunks/flakes (I love the chili flavoured one but you can use other flavours.)
1 can of chick peas/butter beans/ borlotti beans
250g short pasta, cooked according to package instructions
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon juice (optional)

Mix everything up and devour with gusto!
Serves 4 as a side and 2 as a main

Decisions

Every morning, dear husband and I will take the train to work. Today was no different.

When we got to the platform, there was more people waiting than normal. The train came in a couple of minutes and we chose not to board the train as the next train was only 3 minutes away.

When the second train came, it was not very crowded and we boarded it. However, after 2 stops, we were told over the PA system that the train we were in was no longer in service. We were to alight and wait for the next train. I told dear husband that perhaps we should have taken the earlier train.

Third train came after 2 mins - and it was an empty train! I had a seat the whole ride to work. So the decision was still good then.

I guess you will never know in life. Something that is perceived to be good became not so and something that is supposedly bad turn out to be pretty good. I think we just need to make the best decision at the time with all the information we have. And once the decision is made, we move on and don't look back. No regrets.
