It started raining last night at the beach, and the forecast for today calls for rain on and off throughout the day. My sister called me and said that it was completely 'socked in' and very grey, so she's packing up and leaving. I plan to spend the rest of the weekend curled up at home, working on a new doll. I've brewed up a pot of cinammon plum tea and I have some fresh blueberries to munch on. It's shaping up to be a very quiet, peaceful day.

Here is a quick fish recipe that is really delicious:

Season a tuna steak with pepper and garlic. Pan sear it to whatever level of doneness that you like.
While it is cooking, heat 1/2 jar of tomatillo salsa over a medium heat. Add in a sliced mango, a sliced peach, and some frozen corn. Heat that until all the liquid is reduced.
Serve the salsa over the fish.
The end!

Total cooking time: about 10 minutes.
This would probably go well with rice and sliced tomatoes, but I was too lazy to cook the rice and I didn't have any tomatoes.

I'd like to say that I invented this recipe, but I actually got it from some lady at Whole Foods who was doing a cooking demonstration the other day.


Totally random link for your amusement: Links to all of the animal cams at the National Zoo in Washington, DC. I just watched a couple of tigers playing around before settling down for a nap, a sleeping cheetah that woke up when a couple of birds started flying around it (chase birds y/n? No! back to sleep for the cheetah!), and a snoozing mother and baby black-footed ferret (most hilarious even when napping, because the baby kept trying to sneak away and the mother would periodically drag it back and curl up around it. As soon as the mother put her head down and went back to sleep, the baby started crawling away again. Knucklehead!). I'm sensing a theme here at the National Zoo, and that theme is, NAP TIME. Alas, Octopus Cam isn't working atm, but I'll bet that the octopus is curled up asleep, too.
