Great recipe and I couldn’t agree with you more on your comments about tuna lovers. I used to hate tuna, but I was converted a few years ago (I find many people grew up disliking tuna before turning into tuna lovers, was this the case with you as well?). It wasn’t long before I went from liking tuna sandwiches to loving them. For the most part, I’m in your “straight up tuna-phile” category, loving sandwiches that are piled high with tuna salad. I know a lot of crunchy tuna sandwich lovers too though. Anyway thanks a lot for your recipe and insights!

thank you for the “Current Inspiration” pavement artist link
wow – absolutely mind blowing

I too am very smitten with these pieces- they are amazing! My first exposure to anamorphis in art was a famous Holbein piece with a stretched skull across the bottom of the work. Here’s an article that goes into Holbein’s anamorphosis more specifically. Its an interesting intersection between math, physics and art.

Having never grown garlic before- I was given by my neighbor some early garlic this year. It hadn’t formed into cloves yet- each bulb was a lovely clove of garlic- the best I’ve ever had.

I was wondering about the “whistles” as I have been watching the buds bloom (picture posted in yesterday’s blog, incidentally)… and wondered how I could use them.

Thank you for the idea- I will try this! My normal tuna recipe is mayo (not too much) dijon mustard, cracked pepper, dill weed, parsley flakes, and diced onion and diced celery if I have it on hand. Dill in tuna is great!

I got hold of some garlic scapes (Scots English for garlic whistle, I guess?) at a Farmers Market in Edinburgh some 1,5 weeks ago and used some of them to spice up a tuna-mayonnaise sandwich filling that I made last week. I wrote about it on my recently set up blog yesterday – just like you:) What a coincidence!
I might try to spice up the filling next time with some chilli, just like you suggest. Thanks for the idea.
And lovely picture!
