I’m at a loss for what to cook tonight for dinner. THE Daddy was supposed to be home, but (shocker!) he’ll be late. I am craving seared tuna in a BIG WAY. The closest and best place to go near us is in Portsmouth and it’s a bit too upscale to bring the kids after a day at school…especially by myself.

In lieu of a recipe this week, I’m going to share a new website. Well, it’s new to me, at least. It’s called Open Table. It offers “Restaurant Reservations: Instant, Reliable & Free.” It’s pretty cool, especially if you feel like dining upscale at the last minute.  It’s very user friendly. You’re able to look up restaurants in your area, check out their menus and book reservations right online. I checked my favorite restaurant for Tuna, Jumpin Jays Fish Café, and they have tables available for tonight. Good to know. Too bad I’m not able to go!

The best part about Open Table is that they offer Dining Rewards Points.  Each time you use their site to book reservations and honor them, you recieve points in your profile.  Build up enough points and you will receive Open Table Dining Cheques to be used at participating restaurants.  Not a bad deal.  My only complaint is that there aren’t more restaurants in our area, but they are fairly new. Also, in their defense, there aren’t a ton of restaurants in the Seacoast New Hampshire that accept and/or require reservations.

Any recommendations for what to do for dinner at the last minute?  Please leave a comment.
