Seared Tuna with Sesame Soy Drizzle

Posted on February 28, 2007 - Filed Under 40 Days, dinner, fish/shellfish, lunch | 3 Comments

After discovering a few recipes for seared tuna recently, which are strikingly similar in cooking method but different in serving, I decided to try my hand at my own variation. There is nothing like a good slab of ahi tuna, seared just right – as in rare. It’s a delicious and firm fish.

Food for rest

On a cold, snowy day, there is nothing better than curling up with a good book, a cup of hot tea, and a warm muffin or scone. I would love to do that today, but alas have to head off to work. If you are luckier than I though, consider raspberry white chocolate muffins or [...]

A little request . . .

Posted on February 23, 2007 - Filed Under Blog news | 7 Comments

40 Days: Simple lunch

Posted on February 22, 2007 - Filed Under 40 Days | Leave a Comment

Thank you to all the well wishers who commented on Will being under the weather. Thankfully, he is feeling better now – though his stomach is still sensitive and milk is not his friend. Being that milk is his favorite drink, it stinks for him because that’s what he wants most. But I am doing [...]
