First, how are you doing, Christine?

I've never made tuna noodle casserole. Really! I don't recall my
mother making it either, but, I think when she was short on money,
she would make a casserole of mashed potato and tuna, which was
served with (tart!) mock hollandaise sauce.

As for what I'd put into it, based on other things, the sauce
would have a sour cream base.
