Supper and Scrabble

Lovely seared tuna with an olive and tomato salsa and saffron mash. Picking up some tips from the chef (my dad) and the secret to a good mash is to use floury potatoes (not waxy ones), boil them until well cooked, then mix in with a chunk of butter (not oil), some milk/crème frêche and mash it up! We got the tuna from a brilliant fishmongers - Moxen's - which is luckily just down the road from us. A good way to cook this is to soak it in olive oil and then sear it for a couple of minutes in a hot pan.

This was followed by a sticky toffee pudding and an epic game of Scrabble: 390-317 to me!
