Not EVERY group that gathers for Thanksgiving dinner sits down to a formally set table. Even if they do, the harried cook who sets out the entree and side dishes is unlikely to present them as embellished and worthy of a Bon Appetit photo shoot.
It doesn't take long to gussy up the bird, though, in case someone does want a photo.

Fresh tuna is endlessly versatile. It can be sauteed, grilled, roasted or even served raw, all with delectable results. Another bonus is that tuna needs only a very short cooking time, even less than most fish.
For the light yet flavorful recipe that follows, tuna steaks are coated with sesame seeds, quickly pan-seared and then popped into the oven for only a few minutes. The steaks are topped with dollops of Orange Sherry Mayo, a simple combination of good purchased mayonnaise, orange zest, shallots and a hint of sherry. Both fish and garnish take less than 30 minutes to prepare, from start to finish. Sugar snap peas and basmati rice tossed with chopped green onions and minced fresh ginger would make easy and tempting sides.

An award of attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act is payable to the prevailing party rather than to the prevailing party's attorney, and therefore is subject to an offset for a pre- existing debt owed by the prevailing party to the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled.
The case arose from an attorney's representation of a Social Security disability claimant seeking benefits after the government initially denied her claim.
