Day Of Rest

No work today since I've done my allotted hours for this week, so I settle down to implement and skin the site design I've done for a communal gathering of thoughts and support for me and my friends, which is basically related to fighting the flab. The skinning takes a lot of time, in particular because as well as the recipe database it will also be a blog. The time aspect comes into play because with the blog software we use here you have to rebuild the entire site every time you make a change to any of the numerous templates that make up the blog before you can see the changes you've made, and with running that software on one of our antiquated computers it takes a while to do it's thing.

It doesn't take long for the afternoon to creep up on me, but by the time it does I've finished most of the site. So I then set about adding some more recipes to the database, which as ever I get so wrapped up in it is time for me to start tea before I've looked up from the monitor when I hear Phil getting home.

Luckily dinner doesn't take too long to make, it's fresh tuna steaks which have been covered in fresh pesto sauce and grilled. As a side dish I make a salsa of chopped cherry tomatoes, finely sliced red onion, freshly chopped basil with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and of course a bit of freshly ground salt and pepper to taste. I really enjoyed it, especially the salsa which was delicious. I don't think Phil was so fussed, but then he didn't have any of the salsa which really complimented the tuna. His tuna steak was also a lot thicker than mine and so perhaps the tuna/pesto ratio wasn't quite so good as what I experienced.

Never mind, I'm sure with a bit more fine tuning it can be even nicer.
