mmmm. Food. I have to say I really miss Italy. The oil, the vegetables, the proper bisteche, the veal, the porcini, the bread, the pizze, the ham, the cheese... *stares vacantly and dribbles*.

I made a nice meal by accident a while back. The recipe's slightly approximate, but it's turned out nice a few times since.
I marinaded some tuna steaks in lemon juice, olive oil, pepper and copious ammounts of fresh coriander and stuck em on the barbecue. Then no-one bloody well turned up for ages. I stuck em in one of those aluminium trays, like the ones chinese takeaways come in only bigger and chucked in the marinade so they wouldn't completely dry out or burn. The marinade started to dry up so I kept adding wine and water. Still no-one came and they cooked so much they started to fall apart, to I broke em up and took the bones away and added the rice which I was originally going to serve them on. Turned out lovely when everyone finally arrived over an hour after they were meant to. (They were family so I forgave them.)
