The title of this blog could also be called a Tribute to Trish.
Our friend, Trish, to the rescue! Last week when we were working the Ocean Grove Flea Market in 91 degree heat, Trish stopped by our booth and took one look at how red I was getting and said “I’m coming back with some sun block for you”. AND she did! She insisted we keep the bottle and USE IT.
This week we were showing our 1958 Metropolitan at the Ocean Grove Vintage Car Show and Trish came by in the morning and said, “I’m bringing you guys tuna salad for lunch” and also offered us the use of her loo. Of course we protested about the lunch but gratefully accepted use of the facilities. Trish wasn’t taking no for an answer!
Sure enough, Lunch was Served! Trish showed up with a tray of food beautifully presented. REAL dishes! Peter had opted for a sandwich and my tuna, bean and fennel salad was delicious on a bed of greens.
All around us other car owners looked at the two of us sitting in chairs and eating lunch on dishes and probably wondering why we had been singled out for such a luxurious lunch! WELL, it certainly helps when you have such a good and caring friend.
THANKS TRISH!


Of course what Lori neglected to mention is that lunch was made from a recipe she so generously shared with me and which has become my latest obsession. So Peter and Lori merely provided me with an opportunity to make it!
Thanks Trish,
Your enthusiasm for the the dish has inspired me to to share it with everyone!
