Four years after my mother's death, I finally dealt with going through her many boxes of pictures and books. I loved reading the spiral notebook of recipes she had assembled over many years. Growing up, I would always ask her to make this moist pumpkin bread. Enjoy.

You're perfectly happy eating regular canned tuna until the day you taste the imported, olive oil-packed tuna and realize exactly what you've been missing. You tell people that there's nothing better, but that's not entirely true — this poached tuna with garlic and thyme is better!
