We have tuna cubes. I'm going to make shishkabobs out of them, with
zucchini, onion, mushrooms, and lemon wedges (and a few without the
tuna for me -- I'm not that fond of fish in general). Alongside
that, I'll serve a wheatberry pilaf with butter, lemon, and parsley.

Dinner last night was pan fried Pearl Perch fillets (with a hint of cajun
rub on them) fried in a bit of O/O and a dab of butter, then 1/2 a lemon
squeezed over while cooking, then served with the 'sauce' poured on the
top........ along with some crumbed prawns and a crisp mescalun and rocket
salad.

That is simple and good. What kind of coating are you putting on the
chicken?

kili <-------- who may just end up with a tuna melt tonight. Sigh.

Tinned tuna??? (BLEEEECH!!!!)

Now if it was fresh tuna, seared on both sides so that the fillet is just
warmed thru but rare in the middle, then thinly sliced and drizzled with
soy sauce........ Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

No coating! I just put it on a rack at 450 for ten minutes, add some water
to the baking pan to keep the drippings from burning, then bake another
35 minutes at 400, and the skin is brown and crispy and not greasy at
all, the chicken juicy and perfect. These chicken breasts, on sale (!)
tasted so fresh. I find the best way to get the skin nice and crispy is
to put nothing on it at all except a little salt an pepper. (And I crushed
a little bit of rosemary and place it under the skin of each breast.)
I made gravy too! Quite thin but very roasted brown and good.

I like tuna melts too!

They are excellent for portion control! I like the sesame chicken.

That's what we had last night. I'm painting the kitchen so making a
mess in the kitchen is not an option. The solid albacore from costco
is pretty good. To me it's comfort food.

Pesto and mozzarella ravioli sauteed in butter, olive oil and
Italian spices. Center cut ham slice and green beans simmered in
ham juice. And fresh squeezed orange juice.

Yeah, I made mine with albacore, too. I think it was Starkist. It wasn't
bad, but I stuffed it too much; I could only eat half. :~)

I don't think we will see a recipe on that anytime soon. It was made
for us by his Best Man that also staged, cooked for and hosted our
reception dinner. He is keeping the recipe a secret for awhile.

But, it was excellent .... I have never had anything like it. Found
out today that we were supposed to save that particular layer for our
first anniversary! OOOPS!

Bob is finishing it without me ... I'm back in Oklahoma doing the last
of my packing and working the final two weeks at my job.
