    I'm glad I got that out of the way.

    I did my annual smashing of my thumb.

    I did it the same way I always do. By wrapping my hand around the trailer door latch handle when pushing it closed.

    I'll remember to not do that for another year.

    For breakfast (at 4PM) in @Smartmouthwoman 's Internet Bar & Grille:

    - cold leftover crab dim sum with soy sauce

    - CocaCola to drink it down with.

    Good morning barflies!

    It's my Saturday morning.

    I know I know -- it's only your Wednesday however.

    My high school reunion is in Vegas this coming June.

    That's when I plan to be down there.

    Some of us -- the geriatric athletes society lettermen -- will be hiking the Charleston mountains.

    The best hike up there is the waterfall trail. It is like a piece of Heaven on Earth.

    We'll do that in the daytime and play poker at the casino at night.

    You are a genius @Thought Criminal just like the rest of us.

    For me it is the annual jamming and breaking of my little toe on the living room furniture.

    Squid and/or octopus taste really good when simmered for a long time then chilled and mixed in a green salad with lots of olives and vinegar. That's how the Greeks (in Greece) eat it.

    Food is food and is a gift of God and should not be shunned or slandered.

    Ya' jus' gots ta' know the right recipe for it all !!!

    My cat is like a child and always needs to be fed first before I try to cook or eat at all.

    Otherwise he will sneak up and steal any meat on my counter top or plate including a whole steak or a whole fish.

    Little squids deep fried - crunchy - no rubber.
    Give it a try - you will be amazed.

    I do not like the texture, but I could eat it if I was hungry enough.

    I had the little squids for lunch at work one time. They were stir-fried. They seemed alright, but I felt like I should run through the building with all their tentacles hanging out of my mouth.

    Um what does said cat do when you are near fasting.?
    Like having a plate of Peas and carrots for din-din.
    I bet said cat manages to go outside and spread gossip.
    Like ... What a brute my Owner is.He's such a cheapskate
    he even buys the cheapest rubber bands at Wal*mart.
    For those who might dare to suggest what fried rubber
    bands taste like.

    grade schoolers only poop their pants because the bathrooms are out of order, and it is a big deal if there are two grade schoolers sitting behind who witnessed it and giggle because they heard the farts.

    Here's what I learned when in Europe.
    The French are the Cooks.
    The Italians are the Lovers.
    The Germans are the Mechanics.
    The Irish are just Irish.Usually in Green sweaters.

    Calamari (Gal-lah-mod) is not suppose to be chewy. If its chewy its probably squid. Squid is not Calamari. That's for the larger reading audience. lol

    The body of a calamari or even squid, is excellent stuffed with a breadcrumb, egg and romano cheese mixture. You clean it, stuff it and pin it up with a toothpick so it holds the filling and then quick fry it and put it in gravy (gravy is tomato sauce for Americano's) lol
    The calamari tentacles are boiled and quick sautéed and put in salad with rehydrated salted cod fish(Buk-ah-la), black cured olives, crushed red pepper, celery, vinegar peppers, onion, garlic, olive oil and red wine vinegar.

    Calamari is not Squid.And Squid is not Italian.
    Maybe Calimari is a nerdy Italian.
    Like some Italian who gets fried { blitzed } while on vacation
    in Buenos Aires.Or Hollywood.
    I wonder what Sonny Bono thought of Calimari.
    No I doesn't.

    Calamari, polpo and scungilli are about the only Italian foods I don't care for. Anything else is fair game. :)
