My grandpa worked at a bakery in Switzerland, and that is where they got the recipe. When they came to America in 1932 they opened a restaurant off of Halls Ferry. It stood next to King Quality Dairy, and their restaurant was well known for their German chocolate cake.

This is where my grandpa Bill met my grandma Sophie in 1951 which would've made my grandpa about 24 at the time. My great-grandparents passed the recipe on to my grandparents who passed it on to their kids.

Ever since that happened my mother and her roommate called it tuna noodle spit. Then when my mom brought the tuna casserole to my grandma, grandpa, my aunt and eight uncles she told them the joke. It made them laugh very hard. So hard in fact that they spit out the tuna casserole. Ever since then it’s been in the family as one of our favorite recipes. Even now we still call it Tuna Noodle Spit.

I do not know where tuna casserole originated but it was most probably a place where fish is one of the major products. I do know that my family has always made tuna casseroles. I don't know what the joke but I'm pretty sure it will make you spit out your food too.

It is important to my family because when I was little I loved breakfast, (I still do) and my mom would wake my three brothers and me up and surprises us with a big fancy breakfast.

French toast is important to my culture because my mom got the recipe from my grandmother. That is really important to my mom. I don't know why it is so important to my mom though. The recipe was from my great grandmother, but I don't know were she was from. My grandmother got it from her, then my mom got it from her then I got it from my mom. Someday when I have kids I'll give it to them.

This recipe is special to me because I am part Mexican. I have many memories of this recipe. My family and I get together at least once a year and have a big party.

We invite all our family. They each get to bring some kind of Mexican food that they like. All of the kids play games until lunch. The adults usually join in on our games. We have a lot of fun, but the real fun is when dinner begins. We sit around tables of food and talk and share stories of things we have done. Not all the food we eat is Mexican, but it does not matter because we do not always eat Mexican food. After dinner we break open a piñata, that is filled with small toys and many different candies.

All the kids stay up late and talk with family. We just have a really good time.

I do not know much about this recipe because I am too young and believe it, neither does my mother. I do not really like the taste of Russian Tea Cakes because my whole life, I have never liked nuts. I am not allergic to them or anything, I just do not like them. I might try them next year, and I might like them, but I have not thought about it too much.

Throughout the years all of the teachers and every one who has received my cookies have given me a thank you, they are good, or whatever and I love hearing that. I have continued this tradition for since I can remember. My mother does most of our cooking and baking for us, my brother, sister and me. Well I have learned a lot about Russian Tea Cakes. They are a very big hit.

Then you cook it in a pan with butter and you can put cheese on it if you want. You can also pop the yolk or leave it runny. It is better runny to me. After that you toast the second piece of bread and put it together. It is very good.
How this recipe came up was my dad and me eat them in the morning and at night sometimes. We just came up with it when we got home from a new year’s eve party. We were hungry so we came up with that and we have ate them ever since. They are very good you should try them!
