Monday 29 February
Our colleague Ruth came down from
Athens (Ohio) to speak to Holt's Linear B seminar, so we wanted to reward her
with a special dinner.
The first course grew from the
fact that we always get a fresh burrata when we go to Jungle Jim's. It would go perfectly with ripe heirloom
tomatoes, but since it's winter, we just bought a batch of Roma tomatoes, sliced some
of them sideways, sprinkled with salt, and baked them at 250ยบ in the combi oven
until they'd developed some flavor.
For the main course, we bagged
some Albacore tuna steaks, currently on sale at Kroger for an amazing $2.99/lb. They, and the rest of the Romas, went into
this flavorful recipe.
When we'd enjoyed that, Barbara sallied out to buy
some Graeter's mint chip ice cream (Ruth's favorite), but came back having
mistakenly acquired a low-sugar version.
So she and Ruth walked out again to exchange it, and came back with an
additional pint of coconut chip. So
things worked out perfectly.
