We were having shrimp and pasta, and I was shopping anyway, so I picked up some freshly cleaned squid. It is always so cheap, but I never quite know how its going to come out. Soetimes it is so tender, and well, not really flavorful, but at least tender. Other times it is like eating a tire. This time it came out somewhere in the middle. Henry, of course loves it. He takes special joy in eating the tentacles. Nora won't even com near the stuff. It is kind of a mystery to me. Cleaning it is so interesting though. Squid really is as close to sci fi, life out of space, as we get here on earth. Cleaning it is so weird, they have this cartalagonous skeleton that is clear and looks exactly like plastic. Strange stuff. I had the best calamari at a restaurant once. I believe it was breaded and fried and served with cherry peppers? So amazingly good. Anyone know some good recipes for squid?
