**Alice** , dude, you do not want to know how many calories are in one of those things. I spent 9 months managing a Cinnabon - same, same, knock it off - and I KNOW. Oh, yes, I know. That doesn’t stop me from salivating. Hi **Gut**! Nice to see you! ---

_ **TUNA FOR ALL MY FRIENDS!!** _ **Gut, Lsura** remember the cheddar cheese - cheddar, is key. **Ginger** - You’re right - I really **DON’T** wanna know. I assumed it was about 1,500 and went from there - hey - I’ve got the PMS. You don’t be standing between a girl and her Cinnabon when she’s got the PMS, let me tell you. 😃 ---

to me, a tuna-cheezy melt can be whatever cheese you have in the fridge on whatever bread is left. But, in reality, I have made them for my kids only on English Muffins, with American/Velveeta cheese. Would I stoop this low for myself, …NO. But kids eat different things. ---

I used to make tuna melts by stuffing pita bread with tuna and monterey jack cheese, then popping them into microwave (or toaster oven) until the cheese had just melted. Never thought of adding chopped green onion, although I did occasionally sprinkle in a little oregano. ---

Stop it! STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT! You are making me hungry! I have to admit, as base as they are, I love tuna melts. Made with Miracle Whip. _{{d&r}}_ And sweet green relish. _{{have I run far enough?}}_ I have a couple of cans of tuna, generic Miracle Whip, relish… but I think I’m out of bread & cheese. Dammit.
