No More Tuna, No More Chili: There's Plastic in Aluminum Cans!
It's sad news, but it's true. There's a plastic liner inside aluminum cans, which means that some of my favorite things like canned soda, canned tuna, and canned tomatoes are things I no longer really want to buy. And I have many, many cans of stuff already in my pantry (see pic). I'll still eat what I already have, but I'm going to feel crappy about it. Crappy.
Tuna Fish Sandwiches (as made from canned tuna)
I love tuna fish sandwiches. They're tasty-delicious, and so convenient. All you have to do is open up a cute little can, add some mayo or sweet relish, and BLAM you have a sandwich. How will I get around the fact that I no longer want to buy canned tuna? I have no ideas yet.
Chili (as made from canned tomatoes)
Another favorite food of mine is chili, which I love to make in the fall and winter from canned tomatoes. It might be intuitive, but I'll explain that I use canned tomatoes because they're so much cheaper, especially since I'm making chili when tomatoes are out of season. So what can I do? My only idea right now is the Polish grocery store by my house. They have lots of veggies in jars so I'm hoping they have tomatoes. Otherwise, what will I do?

So go get a couple of nice tuna steaks and an extra one too. Prepare your favorite way and then use the leftovers to make tuna salad.
(BTW-- this is where the idea for tuna salad comes from: "what do I do with this extra fish?")
If I wrap the leftover tuna in foil and freeze it, do you think that will be good enough to keep the freezer taste out? Any idea on how long it will keep in the freezer like that?

It's on your site, and they call is "plastic", but maybe they shouldn't? Might be worth some more research.
