Grilled tuna

Eastside Road, January 30, 2010—

DOWN THE HILL to the neighbors' house for dinner: Eric grilled a slab of storebought tuna on the Tuscan grill in his fireplace, and Thérèse roasted potatoes, onions, a carrot or two, some fennel, and some bacon in the oven.

Green salad, of course; a little bit of salsa verde on the vegetables, and hot fudge sundaes for dessert. Once again — I know this is a predictable litany — a truly delicious dinner: color, texture, scent, flavor, vitamins, minerals, good company.

Cheap Pinot grigio; Nero d'Avola
