This was a perfect lunch for me today. I cooked the tuna last night for dinner and had it with an avocado salsa. Today the tuna was ready for the salad (the last of the sweet lettuce from the garden) so I just threw the rest of it together and thoroughly enjoyed the flavors! LOVE wasabi coated Tuna and if you ever get a chance make some wasabi mashed potatoes to go with it. They are absolutely the BEST combination!! (Emmy you will love them!) Just got batteries for my camera this afternoon so I am sorry I couldn't take a picture of this :(, it was beautiful! But I will definitely make it again and I promise I'll snap a shot for you when I do... Made for one of our Babes in Zaarland, Emmy herself! during ZWT4 Family Picks.

I work in the lab of a large county hospital. Cooking, particularly exotic ethnic cuisines and fancy desserts is my therapy and stress relief. Being a geeky kind of person, I'm really into the science of food.
I'm getting into playing cooking games and contests on 'Zaar. Why not come play with us? It's lots of fun.
