Tonight I had two tuna steaks. I thawed them then baked at 400*F in glassware with a covering of extra virgin olive oil, thyme, mediterranean sea salt, lemon, and pepper. I whisked that mix up and coated both sides and let the rest boil in the dish around it. I served it over wheat rotini. It seemed to work out well :-p

Default Fine Dining - 5 Course Meal

I am so excited! My wife and I have been invited to an evening of fine dining - a five course meal- tonight, at 7:30pm. Coronation are in the process of moving to a new premises in Claremont and I am involved from the IT perspective. The new Canteen has been kitted out and we are to be the first people served from it. I will report back on the event in tomorrow's posting on my blog. I hope to chat to our new Chef as well. I have been asked by Coronation to take photos of the event so 'watch this space for more'.

Cheers,
Mike

Last night was the first time in awhile I cooked anything worty of mention. Grilled Tuna steaks with Green Olive vinaigrette, Quinoa with Queso Fresco marinated in Truffle and Pumpkin seed oil, black pepper and sea salt. Steamed garden fresh beans.
Having it for lunch too!

The night before was just Chorizo tacos with queso fresco and tomatilla, tequila, avocado salsa. It wasn't until the next day that I realized I forgot the Cilantro! No wonder it tasted like something was missing!

This morning it was a simple breakfast: a French baguette fresh and warm from the oven with some lightly salted Beurre D'Isigny, fresh brewed Las Hermanas Nicaraguan coffee, and some fresh squeezed organic grapefruit juice with lots of pulp served at just the right temperature. Simple but delicious.

Had a slight dilemma tonight. Seems that we forgot about a turkey in the freezer out in the shed and found it the other day. I pulled it out of the freezer and forgot it again. Definitely needed to be cooked today. We ended up rubbing it down with some Penzey's SW spice mix and roasted it off. So......what started out as Sloppy Joe's and green bean casserole turned into roast turkey sands on Ecce Panis French bread and a Green Pepper, tomato and basil salad for me and the same sand with the green bean casserole for the DW and DD. Added some nice fresh local peach slices to the DD's plate to round off her meal.

Gotta say our local Ukrop's has been doing an exemplary job in bringing in local produce as well as baking the Ecce Panis breads in smaller batches. As far as the bread goes...It's one of those if you don't get it before 1pm you don't get it.

Made some fresh TK (teriyaki) marinade for tomorrow nights dinner and I was finally able to cut up that Top Sirloin we bought from Costco a couple weeks ago (I mentioned it in another post). So we're having those steaks marinated and some local bi-color sweet corn and either rice or Twice baked 'taters for dinner tomorrow night.
