Tuna Belly and Papaya Salad

What a nice feeling it is when, instead of agonizing endlessly over what to have for dinner, something just jumps out at you. Want-to-eat-you at first sight. We had such an encounter at Nijiya today when the tuna belly sashimi looked so fatty and shiny that we scrapped our original plans and decided to just have sashimi with a salad and soup. While the tuna belly was quite tasty and as fatty as we had hoped, the surprise star of dinner ended up being the papaya salad - made all from veggies we bought at the Farmers' Market yesterday. All the veggies were fresh and tasty, but the papaya was unbelievably ripe and sweet, adding a touch of Hawaii to the whole salad. The apple-bananas we tried this morning with yogurt were also very sweet and satisfying. We will definitely be going back to the Farmers' Market for more yummy fruit!
