rearranging and spicy tuna

Summer has started. I have had little to no work, not a great thing as it means little or no paycheck, but I've had loads of free time. Now for me this is a issue. I do crazy things when I'm alone with nothing to do. Because of my mother this sometimes shows itself in rearranging rooms. She had us (the kids) move furniture about once ever few months. I don't think anything ever stayed in the same spot for more for 3 months. So I decided we were going to move everything in our bedroom. Now when we moved in we somehow ended up with way more furniture then we planed. the moving people took almost all the furniture out of my fiance's mother's garage. Half of which we wanted. Due to this we ended up with 2 long cabinets and 4 dressers over what we needed. So we went out and bought 2 more dressers. I know this doesn't sound like a smart thing to do. But because of the size of the dressers we both were using 2 each to keep all our clothes in. So we went and got ones that we could each use one only. But that meant that we had all these dressers that we didn't need. So last Saturday we moved it all out. We borrowed his mother's car (it's bigger then ours) and moved out 4 dressers, 1 cabinet, and a small set of drawers. It took us about 4 trips to get everything back to her house. And let me tell you the bedroom looks so much better. But now I want to do the rest of the house.

Also when I'm left alone I clean. This may not sounds like a bad thing to most people. But trust me it can be an issue. First off I am not good at cleaning. I make a mess. You make think this is hard to do when cleaning but trust me I'm a master. For example, I may decide that it's time to organize my recipes that I have cut out. Where as now they are in neat little stacks, by the time I'm halfway though they are all over the floor and I've lost interest. The other issue i have with cleaning is that I have purging moods. I'm sure everyone has them. But it's a lot harder when you are living with someone. I either call him while he's at work to ask him if he really wants to keep thing odd thing I found in a drawer or if I can toss it. He doesn't even know what I'm talking about half the time. Or I just toss it. Without consulting him at all. He will call me sometimes when he's looking for something and it all depends on weather it was on the table while I was in a purging mood. If it was then it's gone. Due to the annoyance this causes I try not to purge his stuff. If I don't know what it is or who it belongs to I leave it. Or at least I try.

The last thing that I do while bored and alone is bake. Now this may be fine for some but not for me. Many times this means that I do not make any "real" food and eat only what I happen to be baking. And since I have been trying to cut out all grains baking isn't really what I need to be doing. So I have been trying to cook. One of my favorite recipes right now is spicy tuna. I'm not good with spice but I've been trying to gradually heighten my tolerance.

Spicy Tuna on Toast
I looked a few different recipes when I was first thinking about making it but I never really used one. So here is the recipe I use to make it. The idea for the toast came form a little japanese maid cafe in Culver City called Royal T. But you can put the spicy tuna on anything.

Ingredients
Makes one
Time about 10-15 min

1/2 cup fresh Tuna  (cubed. a few cubes smashed to a paste.)
1 Tbsp mayo (japanese if you can get it)
1/2 tsp chives
1/3 tsp Seriracha (you can add more depending on your spice threshold.)
dash of soy sauce
half avocado

slice of toast

I start my cutting up the tuna. While I'm doing this I start the toast. I then combine the first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. You want to mix it until the mayo and the Seriracha is completely combined.
Once this is done you cut the avocado into slices. I tend toward thick slices since I love avocado.
When the toast is done you put the avocado in a single layer over the toast then spoon on the tuna mix.

it's really as easy as that. I could eat this everyday. I use sushi grade tuna steaks. I have found great quality at costco of all places and for a reasonable price.

It's an easy and healthy fast meal to have when it's hot. I love it.
hope this helps on a hot summer day!
