March 2, 2011, new recipe

Tonight, we took our inspiration from Mario Batali's Molto Italiano, looking, I might add, for something quick! We did Tuna Sicilian Style with Shallot Frittata (sorry, no link out there!). We had a nice arugula salad with the Chipotle Honey Vinaigrette from Shinin' Times at the Fort that Carl made yesterday. A lovely meal!

The wine was a 2009 Liana Pinot Grigio--a nice match to the meal!

February 16, 2011 new recipe


This evening's recipes came from Epicurious.com, which really does have a great selection of excellent recipes! I did Guam "Volcano" Tuna (Pepper Crusted Tuna with Ginger Wasabi Dipping Sauce). The name sounds scary but it really was flavorful but not excessively spicy. The salad was the Soba Noodle Salad with Cucumber and Mango, a very pleasant counterpoint to the tuna.
The wine was Leitz Out Rheingau Riesling 2006. It is a nice off-dry riesling, was a reasonable foil for the spicy food. I'm still on the lookout for an easily acquired, economically priced dry riesling, which I think would have been an even better match.

January 29, 2011 new recipe

Dinner on 1/29/2011. We repeated the African Adobo-Rubbed Tuna Steaks for Melissa, Carl's niece, and her husband Mike, and of course for our friend Dwight. The new dish came from Epicurious.com--Shrimp and Avocado Salad with Grapefruit Salad. They were both great!

We drank Garnacha de Fuego 2009 Old Vine with this meal.

January 26, 2011 new recipe

Dinner on 1/26/2011 was extraordinary! This is African Adobo-Rubbed Tuna Steaks, from Epicurious.com. It is served with quick pickled cucumbers and and avocado salsa.

The wine, which worked very well with this dish, was a 2002 Leasingham Magnus Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon Blend.

January 17, 2011 new recipe

Dinner on 1/17/2011 was Tagliatelle with a Fresh Tuna Ragu, another first time recipe for us. This is also from Mario Batali's Molto Italiano. We served it with an Arugula Salad dressed in our usual dressing. Both were very tasty!

The wine was a 2009 Côté Est Catalan, a blend of Grenache, Chardonnay and Marsanne.
