Mackerel: I bought several cans of Mackerel when they were on sale a while back. I have only used a couple of cans, thus far. Today I opened a can and made a simple Mackerel Salad-akin to Tuna Salad; quick and easy. Mackerel is an "inexpensive" oily fish and has a lot of cholesterol in it. The can label says 45% per serving, but only 90 calories per serving. The label also says it contains 2 servings, but I think there may be 3 to 4 servings in the can, esp. if you make a salad with i t, as I did. Of course, there is the 2 slices of toast and the dressing used to make the salad. I'm guessing that altogether it might be about 3-350 calories consumed for lunch. I will have some more for supper along with a good bowl of soup. There was about a half a can of liquid that I drained off that will go into a fish chowder in a couple days or so. I thought I had used up the last of my sweet relish when I made the Mackerel Salad, but just to be certain I checked my "closet" and found two new jars. I pulled one out to use,. I will replace it when I go shopping as I am making a "replacement List." Anything with vinegar in it will last a very long time. Ketchup will turn dark as it ages, but as far as I can tell the flavor remains the same.
You know WHO called twice today. I am usually doing something when she calls and find it disruptive. This last time(just a short time ago) I told her that I was having my phone shut off at midnight Sunday. Actually, I am blocking her calls. I called AT&T yesterday and found out how to do it. I should not be reduced to having to do this, but that is the way it is.

Greetings Mabel!!
I can't eat any kind of fish or seafood, deathly allergic. I used to be able to eat tuna fish when I was younger if it was packed in water and not oil and if I rinsed it several times before I made it into tuna salad for sandwhiches but a few years ago even that changed and after one bit of the sandwich I was having an allergic reaction. :-(
I am so happy you found out how to block that lady from calling you any more. Nothing worse than having a bothersome person pestering you. And blocking is certainly easier than having to change your phone number.
It is Sunday so I won't be posting on my own blog today but I did want to come in an post a comment here. This is a day of rest and of bible study for me. A special time to spend with my Lord and Savior.
May you be blessed on this chilly Sunday!!
Alice
