Macaroni Tuna Salad-Comfort Food

What's your favorite comfort food? My favorite would have to be this Macaroni Tuna Salad. Simple and hearty, it's a great lunch or side dish for dinner. The addition of sliced green olives makes it a little different.
  Not the prettiest for pics, but mighty tasty!

What has me in the need of comfort right now???
I went outside to mow the lawn and was attacked by wasps! 
Luckily they just kept flying into my head to scare me away (it worked) and I didn't get stung.
When I looked up I noticed this...
I just about had a heart attack!!! 
Needless to say this is not a project for me, I had to call an exterminator.
Hopefully by the time I get home from work today, it will be taken care of.
As my G-Mom-B used to say "never a dull moment", ugh.

Macaroni Tuna Salad-serves two
1 C elbow macaroni, cooked, drained and cooled under cold water-I use 1/2 whole wheat mac
1 (5oz) can tuna fish drained-I like albacore in water
about 1/8 C diced onion
1 medium carrot peeled and shredded
1 stalk celery, diced
sliced green olives, as many as you'd like-I, um, like them-lots
A few shakes of celery seed
Just the slightest shake of garlic powder
Lots of fresh ground black pepper
Seasoned salt to taste-I use Lawry's Cracked Black Pepper Seasoned Salt
Just enough mayo to cover everything about 1/3 C
-Mix all and enjoy!
Have a happy day:@)
