"Creamed Tuna Fish and Peas on Toast" is a retelling of a strange but true Stead-family story. In the mid-1950's, in a fit of epic rage, my Grandpa Jack buried his least favorite meal (creamed tuna fish and peas on toast) in the yard outside the house. He punctuated the moment by carving a headstone for the vile dish: Here Lies Creamed Tuna Fish and Peas on Toast - Rest in Peace. All of the characters in this book are my real family members. Wild Man Jack and Mama Jane are my grandparents. Susie, Danny, Nancy, and Margie are my aunts and uncle. Bobby, the youngest, is my dad.
