John seared these pieces of tuna to perfection. They only cooked in a pan on the stovetop for eight minutes, four minutes a side. He made the rice about an hour before dinner. I removed the strings from a package of Trader Joe’s snowpeas and cooked them in a pan with a splash of water and soy sauce plus a couple of pats of butter. This was a very enjoyable dinner and it seemed like we were having a fancy dinner out.
