I have a clowder of cats and I'm on blood thinners. I'm safer on the porch.
I make a salad with lettuce, brocolli, avacado, cucumber and tomato.
Dress it with Paul Newman's ranch. Mix in a tin of sardines in oil, but I
drain most of the oil off. The whole mess is ready for lunch.
I have also used smoked oysters in the salad instead of sardines.
Salmon, chicken and tuna of course are other options. I've even
been known to dice up a couple of hard boiled eggs and/or cheese
and mix it into the whole mess.
I like sardines in mustard sauce. It is an acquired taste.
