Ahi Endeavour

No soundtrack tonight, but we did watch some video of yesterday's Endeavour launch. Beni actually knows several NASA pilots!

Mama was late getting home from work and threw a wrench in the dinner mojo. BUT...
Beni, the exemplary, incomparable and six sigma certified husband of all husbands, overcame exhaustion from waking up at around two o'clock this morning to prepare another fantastic meal for everyone to envy me over.

Tonight was Seared Ahi Tuna, mildly seasoned and perfectly rare served with a cucumber dipping sauce, grilled Candy Corn, and a fantastic Greek-ish salad tossed in oil and vinegar with artichoke hearts, green olives, and capers. The cucumber and candy corn came fresh from a co-worker's garden today. The corn was sweet and juicy, and Beni's "secret" dipping sauce really tied the meal together. It was sweet, tangy, and married consummately with the piquant taste of the salad and the scrumptious tuna.

The kids LOVED it... Check out the gorgeous color of that tuna!

At tonight's table we got to hear about the boys' bowling adventure with Miss Bridget. Eli scored 100 and Wiley 99. Wiley said the man that got his ball unstuck from the gutter was really nice. Eli told me about the group of "old ladies" that were "really awesome". One of them got 5 strikes in a row. Makes me want to start a bowling league. Any takers? We could get some killer silk jackets with our names embroidered on them...

Stay tuned for updates on the next Helf delicacy! Who knows... Maybe Erin will cook something...
