fennel and chili-paved grilled tuna; sautéed tomato; potato
It was a steak, and while it looks like beef in the light recorded by the photograph above, it was tuna, and it tasted like tuna, which is to say, very good. Looking for music to accompany the meal, Barry turned up 2 very interesting composers totally unfamiliar to either of us until that night. …

I was still recovering from a bug, and hadn’t been doing much real cooking for a few days.

coriander/fennel-grilled tuna steak; heirloom tomato salad

fennel-grilled tuna; sautéed cucumber, dill; cherry tomatoes
It was very much a summer dinner, and the weather cooperated. Those aren’t zucchini, but ordinary cucumbers. I love cucumbers, in almost every form, including sautéed. This time I restrained myself when it came to deciding on garnishes (in the picture above there’s not a single micro green in sight), but I got a bit …
