Tuna Steaks

When I was in college, I had a "thing" about buying any kind of meat - not trusting myself to keep a clean enough mini-fridge to not get ill. I've come a long way, baby! I now buy all kinds of raw red meats for recipes. But never seafood. I guess it's remnants of distrusting myself to cook up something like raw seafood without getting everyone in the house ill.
Well, we tried something new, here at Leisurama: Tuna Steaks! AND they were awesome! AND they were easy! AND they were cheap!!!
Here's how we did them: we purchased two giant tuna steaks frozen from the grocery store. When we brought them home, we put them in the meat drawer in the fridge to thaw so that we wouldn't have to worry about some kind of thawing technique which would half-cook the tuna steaks.
Once thawed (ours thawed for about 48 hours) we put the steaks on foil on a baking sheet, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then topped them with the following mixture:

TOPPING FOR BROILING TUNA STEAKS
1/4 c. mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. dried dill
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 c. diced onions
In small bowl, mix mayonnaise, herb seasoning and lemon juice.

Broil until golden brown. Tuna will flake with fork if done. Do not overcook.
Ours took between 7-8 minutes (in an already-warm oven due to cooking our rolls plus, we may have overcooked the just slightly since it was our first fish-steak broiling adventure, therefore it's best to go by the golden brown / flake test than our exact times!)

So much healthier than other things we could have had. Go tuna! Delish!

12 year old's craft show booth pt 1

This little girl came up to me once I had taken this photo. She said "What are you doing???" as in - are you crazy - why are you taking photos of the stuff I made here?? I said "I like the face on this bunneh" to which she replied with the most awesome sales pitch I have ever been recipient to.
She said she was raising money to open a restaurant. That's when I noticed that the guy that was with her was probably her dad or uncle and she had a table full of crafts she had whipped up in hopes of having enough money to begin her restaurant ...
She wanted to make sure I knew everything she was selling was $5 or less! She was very excited. It was so adorable!

12 year old's craft show booth pt 2

I wish I had taken photos of everything there, unfortunately I only wound up with a few shots. Here's her basket of misc. Crafts. YOu can see a few gems here like the glitterkitteh and bunneh.

12 year old's craft show booth pt 3

This was my purchase. She had crafted this kitty using some kind of blanket stitch around the edges, stuffing it with what I am guessing must be cotton balls, and drew the face on with markers. It's so freakin' adorable. What a bargain for a plushie: at only $3.00. Also, those are her hands ...

12 year old's craft show booth pt 4

I have no idea what this was (a purse?), but I do know it's totally adorable! Freaking glitter on everything. I wish I had bought more. The kid was so stinkin' cute. Good luck Victoria! I'm rooting for you kid!

I AM A BIONIC WOMAN!


I'm on the Omnipod insulin pump ... just for a few hours so far, but I'm happy as hell. I have to see what might happen with this medical adhesive allergic reaction business, but I'm going to cross that bridge IF I have to.

SO FAR SO GOOD. :D

Spoken, not heard

Pat Sullivan


Our graduating class just lost a second member last night. Pat was funny as hell. Always willing to go a few steps further than anyone to make everyone laugh. I always wondered what happened to him and he sent an update to our alumni news once about 8 years ago saying something like "Pat Sullivan lives in California, he has not graduated from any college, he has not gotten married and does not have any children." It ran pretty much like that in our alumni newsletter where usually that's all that is announced. He was a funny kid and I'll never forget him. Our class, as it turned out, wound up with a bumper crop of teachers. I was very impressed at how benevolent most of the career choices were for our class. Anyhow, if I graduated with you - you automatically have a special place in my heart. Out of millions of people on this planet you're special to me.
