20: Grilled tuna steak with herb-infused oil (Page 623, TNBR)

This will be the last of the tuna recipes for a while I think. My favourite tuna recipe was definitely the sesame-crusted tuna steaks since it had the most flavour. I think I should have served the grilled tuna with something with a more subtle taste than pasta with a strong tomato flavour. The tomato sauce overpowered the tuna so that I could barely taste the herbs (thyme, lemon, garlic and peppers). This just made the tuna seem very bland in comparison. This could be because I am getting tired of eating fish!

Maybe this fish wasn't meant to be served with pasta. I think the problem with a lot of these recipes is that they are probably meant to be eaten alone but I don't like eating food that way unless all the food groups are all mixed together. For me a meal is not complete without bread/pasta/rice. I will rarely eat meat on it's own unless I'm at a BBQ and the only time I'm going to eat vegetables on their own (of my own free will) is if I'm flat broke and that's the only thing left in my fridge.

Even my photo looks so uninspired. It just left me with very little enjoyment or self-satisfaction in a job well done. Maybe I'm being too hard on it. Since it was not exactly inedible and I have eaten my share of things I consider to be inedible. I just did not feel motivated to continue eating. Good thing I took some leftover Chinese food home so I will have something different to eat tomorrow and not have to worry about cooking for a while.

This meal pretty much sums up my day. It was uninspired and did not leave me wanting more. *sighs* Maybe I have hit a wall.
