I was all alone today at home and very much hungry, and as it usually is when I’m all by my lonesome, I also found myself on a pensieve mood.
Hunger and reflection, quite an odd combination coming from opposite sides of man’s spectrum, id est instinctive, which is a baser function and intellective, which is our highest faculty. These made me realize some things about myself, specifically regarding my aesthetics lately.
As of the late, I keep on finding myself being drawn to simple subjects that have something quirky about them. Seemingly uncomplicated things that have an underlying oddity that only a somewhat “weirdo” (loosely used) like me would see. It’s like looking at the ordinary with extraordinary eyes.
With this playing in my mind while raiding our ref, I decided to make myself something simple to eat, no fuss, nothing too complicated, but something that has an image of being special.
A few slices here, a little searing there, some simple but nice plating, and this is what I made:
A few slices here, a little searing there, some simple but nice plating, and this is what I made:
Seared Tuna Sashimi with Wasabi and Soysauce, from leftover fresh frozen tuna last sunday
Grilled Unagi, from a long forgotten pack of frozen unagi at the back of our freezer from who knows when
And of course, a small bowl of rice, the stickier the better
In an ideal world, I would eat these everyday, well the unagi and the rice maybe but the tuna, I think alternating it with salmon would be much better. :)
Oooh and I forgot....Uuni, add some uuni to the equation and that's heaven!
