Casualties of War

The weekend is over and we have returned to the fatherland. However, the trip didn't go without event. The blog has suffered it's first victim. On Saturday early evening, the main asset of the blog - my beloved Casio digital camera - suffered a telling blow. All 17 stone of my immense bulk accidently sat down with the camera in my back pocket.

Where do we go from here? The initial thought was to try and get the camera repaired. Looking through the net there appears to be a way to do it myself but could take a while and a bit of cost so I went for option 2. Hit the shops and see what kind of price you can get a similar model for. Surprisingly Comet had a better deal on the camera I was looking for than anywhere else so I bought it today and hope that it will give as good times as the previous one did.

As for the food. On the way up from Comet, I popped into Tesco to see what was on offer. The fresh fish counter had a good deal on tuna steaks so I decided to give them a go based on some of the things people have been saying recently. I marinated them prior to cooking with garlic, ginger, soy sauce and some corriander. These were served with new potatoes done in a herb and butter covering.



It is my first time tasting tuna steak and it was really nice. It is definitely something we will be eating again and the possibilities for the marinate are endless. The picture was taken with the mobile phone as the camera battery is still charging. Tomorrow night should see the debut of the new camera.
