I promised something a little more cheerful today, didn't I?
I've been thinking back to my time in Nice last summer and one of the strongest memories is of the food (isn't that always the way?)
They do great things with tuna and olives in the South of France, so here is something simple and delicious.
Tuna Tapenade
1 clove garlic
one can tuna in olive oil
3 large garlicky green olives sliced and pits removed2 Ts lemon juice2 Ts olive oil1 pinch thyme (or leaves of fresh thyme)ground black pepper
drop garlic into food processor to mince. Add tuna etc and pulse until its a spread. Great as a heavy dip with strong crackers or with a fresh baguette.
