[Upbeat music.]

2
00:00:05,482 --> 00:00:12,264
Grams' cream tuna on toast.

3
00:00:12,264 --> 00:00:14,698
1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup flour,
2 cups milk,

4
00:00:14,698 --> 00:00:16,447
2 cans drained tuna,

5
00:00:16,447 --> 00:00:18,583
salt and pepper,

6
00:00:18,583 --> 00:00:19,949
bread to toast.

7
00:00:19,949 --> 00:00:21,017
Hey, guys.

8
00:00:21,017 --> 00:00:22,483
This is Sal, from
"You Gotta Eat."

9
00:00:22,483 --> 00:00:24,400
I'm going to make
one of my favorite dishes,

10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,784
that my grandmother,
Theresa, used to make.

11
00:00:25,784 --> 00:00:27,067
Creamed tuna on toast.

12
00:00:27,067 --> 00:00:28,401
So, let's start this recipe.

13
00:00:28,401 --> 00:00:29,883
We gotta make a roux.

14
00:00:29,883 --> 00:00:31,731
First thing we're going to do is,

15
00:00:31,731 --> 00:00:34,317
quarter stick of butter...

16
00:00:34,317 --> 00:00:37,634
Actually it's a HALF stick of butter.

17
00:00:37,634 --> 00:00:39,816
Drop these in there.

18
00:00:39,816 --> 00:00:41,465
Let them melt down.

19
00:00:41,465 --> 00:00:44,532
A little bit at a time,
so your roux doesn't clump.

20
00:00:44,532 --> 00:00:46,786
Now we're going to
whisk in the flour.

21
00:00:46,786 --> 00:00:49,331
If it ever decides
to come out.

22
00:00:49,331 --> 00:00:55,503
Alright. We're 
whisking that in.

23
00:00:55,503 --> 00:01:00,848
Whisking a little?
You dumped the whole thing in.

24
00:01:00,848 --> 00:01:02,061
[Woman laughs.]

25
00:01:02,061 --> 00:01:04,066
Alright. You can do that, too.

26
00:01:04,066 --> 00:01:06,034
[Music.]

27
00:01:06,034 --> 00:01:08,697
When you're making a roux,

28
00:01:08,697 --> 00:01:10,866
and you're incorporating liquid in,

29
00:01:10,866 --> 00:01:12,285
you want to make sure

30
00:01:12,285 --> 00:01:15,616
that the liquid doesn't clump up.

31
00:01:15,616 --> 00:01:18,267
So, Sal is going to start pouring in

32
00:01:18,267 --> 00:01:20,050
the next ingredient.

33
00:01:20,050 --> 00:01:21,217
Which is...

34
00:01:21,217 --> 00:01:22,466
milk!

35
00:01:22,466 --> 00:01:24,031
"Does a body good."

36
00:01:24,031 --> 00:01:25,984
Alright. A little at a time.

37
00:01:25,984 --> 00:01:28,551
I remember my grandmother
making this for me,

38
00:01:28,551 --> 00:01:29,865
when I was younger.

39
00:01:29,865 --> 00:01:32,532
She actually showed me how
to make it, one time.

40
00:01:32,532 --> 00:01:35,517
But, this is one of my
favorite dishes, that she made.

41
00:01:35,517 --> 00:01:37,848
It is also an inexpensive
dish to make.

42
00:01:37,848 --> 00:01:38,865
Alright.

43
00:01:38,865 --> 00:01:42,133
At this point, you can start
adding salt and pepper to taste.

44
00:01:42,133 --> 00:01:43,966
Do it to your liking.

45
00:01:43,966 --> 00:01:46,116
I am not a big salt guy, but

46
00:01:46,116 --> 00:01:50,282
we can add it as we go.

47
00:01:50,282 --> 00:01:52,699
And a little pepper.

48
00:01:52,699 --> 00:01:56,865
Alright. Now, at this point,

49
00:01:56,865 --> 00:01:59,534
I already have my toast
in the toaster,

50
00:01:59,534 --> 00:02:02,150
so I'm just going to
drop it down.

51
00:02:02,150 --> 00:02:04,350
Get that going.

52
00:02:04,350 --> 00:02:06,986
Turn my heat up a little bit.

53
00:02:06,986 --> 00:02:09,931
Now I'm adding 
my tuna fish.

54
00:02:09,931 --> 00:02:11,516
You can also substitute

55
00:02:11,516 --> 00:02:12,699
canned chicken,

56
00:02:12,699 --> 00:02:13,916
canned salmon,

57
00:02:13,916 --> 00:02:15,469
or fresh lump crab meat.

58
00:02:15,469 --> 00:02:18,451
Now, we just 
watch it thicken.

59
00:02:18,451 --> 00:02:20,999
[Woman] I'm sure you've got

60
00:02:20,999 --> 00:02:22,882
someone there who is interested

61
00:02:22,882 --> 00:02:25,408
in any droppings, that might
come her way.

62
00:02:25,408 --> 00:02:26,651
Right, Zee?

63
00:02:26,651 --> 00:02:30,285
You can see it
getting thicker, already.

64
00:02:30,285 --> 00:02:34,651
This is something that
is good for cold winter days,

65
00:02:34,651 --> 00:02:37,451
or a rainy day.

66
00:02:37,451 --> 00:02:40,418
Alright so. We waited a few minutes.

67
00:02:40,418 --> 00:02:43,586
I took a fork, because 
i wanted to break up, a little bit,

68
00:02:43,586 --> 00:02:47,433
more of the bigger pieces
of the tuna fish.

69
00:02:47,433 --> 00:02:51,567
It's really starting to
thicken up, now.

70
00:02:51,567 --> 00:02:53,216
Toast is done.

71
00:02:53,216 --> 00:02:55,883
So, I'm going to
shut this off, now.

72
00:02:55,883 --> 00:02:57,416
Alright?

73
00:02:57,416 --> 00:02:59,666
Take it off the heat
for a second.

74
00:02:59,666 --> 00:03:02,952
Grab my toast.

75
00:03:02,952 --> 00:03:13,837
Alright.

76
00:03:13,837 --> 00:03:15,633
You want to make sure,

77
00:03:15,633 --> 00:03:17,600
before you put it
on your toast,

78
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,869
that you put enough
salt and pepper in it,

79
00:03:21,869 --> 00:03:24,005
that it is seasoned good.

80
00:03:24,005 --> 00:03:25,870
It's delicious. Alright.

81
00:03:25,870 --> 00:03:27,321
Now, I'm going to

82
00:03:27,321 --> 00:03:29,351
pour it right over
the toast.

83
00:03:29,351 --> 00:03:37,920
[Music.]

84
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,100
Alright? Beautiful.

85
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:41,851
There you have it.

86
00:03:41,851 --> 00:03:44,236
[Spoon scrapes pan.]

87
00:03:44,236 --> 00:03:45,551
Grandma Theresa's

88
00:03:45,551 --> 00:03:47,318
creamed tuna on toast.

89
00:03:47,318 --> 00:03:50,669
I almost forgot to wish

90
00:03:50,669 --> 00:03:52,352
all the mothers out there

91
00:03:52,352 --> 00:03:53,889
a happy Mother's Day,

92
00:03:53,889 --> 00:03:55,086
including my own.

93
00:03:55,086 --> 00:03:56,019
Judy.

94
00:03:56,019 --> 00:03:57,321
Happy Mother's Day.

95
00:03:57,321 --> 00:04:00,486

and loving wife, Kelly.
