Lunch, Day Eighty

• 2-1/2 oz tuna with 1-1/2 tbsp low-fat mayonnaise, lemon juice & black pepper
• 2 slices whole wheat bread
• 2 cups lettuce with 2 tbsp fat-free French dressing
• 1 orange

My boyfriend bought oil-packed tuna instead of water-packed (he still didn't seem to understand the difference when I showed him the near 1/3 cup of oil I strained out). Even though I rinsed and strained as much of the oil off as I could, the tuna was still a lot... moister than I might have liked. As in it was sliding off the bread.

I realize that the extra fat is probably not a huge amount, but the way it impacted flavor was startling. Usually in the case of cheese or other dishes, extra fat is a good thing, but here it overpowered the tangy lemon and pepper flavors so all I could taste was oil. Bizarre.

Still a great sandwich even with that though, which is to say it's hard to truly ruin a classic.
