New Years Brunch Part Two
My plan was to serve a nice simple nicoise salad. I was going to use the President Choice frozen tuna, grilling it for the salad. I should have realized that something was wrong when i couldn't find frozen tuna. I contemplated tinned tuna, and i really love it, but since it was new years brunch i thought it wouldn't be fancy enough.
I paced the frozen fish aisle, as my No Frills doesn't really have fresh fish - well they do, but i'm kinda hesitant, plus its usually just talapia. I finally decided on cod- not that it was suitable, its a little to mild, but i had cooked it before and knew what kind of quality i was getting.
This should have been a sign....
I wanted to enjoy my new years, and instead of doing a lot of prep, i cleaned and then just relaxed. I then figured i could at least hard boil the eggs for the nicoise. Well i was folding napkins, totally lost track of time and forgot about the eggs. I took them off and chilled them and hoped for the best.
Guess what happened: they were woefully undercooked and i had to redo them! The problem with that was, i had intended on doing an egg dish and i was running out. Fine, no egg dish.
