da kine poke<br/>thats what im talking about<br/>this brings back all those days poor as can be <br/>but had a few bucks for my poke!<br/>mahalos to you girl friend!! -
This was a wonderful summery appetiser. I was a bit worried that the flavour of the fresh tuna would be lost beneath all of the ingredients, but my fears were groundless. The marinade perfectly augmented the taste and texture of the fish. I had some trouble tracking down the ogo, and grabbed something that sounded similar from the local oriental grocer. When I got home and tried to re-hydrate it, the overwhelming scent of tired, hot stinking seawater filled the kitchen, and my husband whisked the pan out to the compost heap, lol. I added some black sesame seed in for colour contrast, and didn't miss the seaweed one bit. Thanks for a great recipe- we've already made this a few times.

I am living with the most wonderful boyfriend in the world in his 150 year old farmhouse. I also have a most fabulous 16-year old son! I love to cook - it's a major stress reliever for me and I thoroughly enjoy the reaction of others when they like my dishes! My other passion is sailing - BF and I plan to take off from Oregon toward the South Pacific in a couple years to live on his boat.
