News From The Side

SO I AM back. The flight back was wretched, simply because it was long and the woman I was seated next to was a business zombie fixated on the self-help book she was pitching as a management tool to whatever management tools she was going to go meet in Orlando (I spied on her notes), so in honor of that, today's lunch is tuna salad, in an iteration which I have decided to call Tuna Salad Delux: tuna, dill relish, minced shallot, mayo, yellow and dijon mustard, cracked green and black peppercorn, and a dash of celtic sea salt. Try it yourself. You'll see.

The beer is a mistake. Weekend before last I had been sent off to forage for lunch myself, retrieving spicy tuna roll (sushi) and a large Sapporo, returning to the in-laws to find that we were collectively headed out to my favorite joint for lunch. After that, there were lunchings of various outings, and then I was in California. So today it's Sapporo with tuna salad. Which is fine, but would have gone better with sushi.

Oh, yeah: California. Had a helluva good time, and some pics will be forthcoming, after I figure out which ones came out decently. Alot of the places we went are the kind that don't come out well in photo form. Just too much for the lense to take in, in my humble opinion. But I'll letcha know.
