1 Can green beans (cut)
4 slices turkey pastrami, cut into chunks
1 light cheese stick sliced into chunks
7 almonds (whole)

Heat green beans for 3 minutes in microwave. Drain. Mix in the rest of the ingredients and enjoy! (Optional: you can add a garden tomato or some canned mushrooms too if you like) (Serves 1)

Quick Summer Tomato Crab Salad

Note: next humor story Aug. 1st! July one posted below.

Imitation crab meat, shredded
Garden Tomatoes, chopped
Shell shaped pasta, cooked
Mayonnaise

We put all of these ingredients in separate bowls and let everyone build and mix their own salad the way they like it in their own bowl. That way the mayonnaise dressing is fresh right when you eat it, and it hasn't soaked into the noodles. (We only make this when we have fresh tomatoes from our garden...store bought tomatoes just don't do it justice)
