That sounds great! We've kind of taken a different route with the whole Valentine's dinner in years past and this year was no different. Instead of our normal Taco Bell dinner and wine in front of the fireplace we mixed it up a little this year and got Papa Johns pizza and washed it down with a fine I.P.A. local brew. |

I love a good local brew....not enough of them in Texas, but still....I love a good local! |

This is how I made the Ahi Seared Ahi Tuna Recipe Prep time: 1 hour, 5 minutesCook time: 5 minutes INGREDIENTS 2 (6-8 ounce) ahi tuna steaks (3/4 of an inch thick) 2 Tbsp dark sesame oil 2 Tbsp soy sauce (or 2 teaspoons of wheat-free tamari for gluten-free option) 1 Tbsp of grated fresh ginger 1 clove garlic, minced 1 green onion (scallion) thinly sliced (a few slices reserved for garnish) 1 teaspoon lime juice METHOD 1 Mix the marinade ingredients together and coat the tuna steaks with the marinade, cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least an hour. 2 Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high to high heat. When the pan is hot, remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and sear them for a minute to a minute and a half on each side ( even a little longer if you want the tuna less rare than pictured.) 3 Remove from pan and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Sprinkle with a few green onion slices. The zucchini I used the same pan after the Ahi and tossed in some homemade garlic butter, some salt, pepper. Simple yet... mmm. |

I agree. I make the best of it, but it's nothing but a F'n Hallmark holiday with no basis in anything national, religious, or anything else important. It just puts every male in the country in a position where they either spend $200 on crap for no reason, or they're a worthless cad. I'll end it during the first 10 days of my presidency, right after Obamacare. |
