Looks like we're finally due for some snow tonight....I'll believe it when I see it. Since Mrs. Hook seems to have come down w/ a pesky sinus issue, I decided to do a load of her laundry for her...BUT not before I got a much needed session on the Mullet in before the precip starts falling....

Same here, hadf my new toy 2 weeks before Chrissy. Not been out of the shed yet...

Pete would be scrambling for his Prozac....

I've heard it's can't be more than 10 thousand years ago...

It was bloody terrible.

Cheers, still a 10 footer but tidy and fingers crossed mechanically sound now. Desperate for some dryer weather so I can get some miles on it and get to know it.

Looking good @Saul

All back together now, waiting for the Yuasa then a decent day to get out and use it. May paint the engine casings in the meantime. Both sides need doing.

A bit wet on the way to work, the trails are like lakes

Same as in haggisland

With a bit of luck the (hairdressers) car will be on the road tomorrow, I just have a few bits to do to on them both, swap the (new) battery off of the Dacia and put it on the Clio, and give the Dacia,s interior a good clean, SORN it, then put it on Marketplace at the weekend. Going to SORN the scoot too, the car & scoots VED & insurance are both due next month, i want to get it away from March, but what to do with the scoot keep, sell?, not sure, I have my eye on a 125cc but it is 40 miles away, and I don't think it will fit in the back of a Clio

??? ...similar to Asian street market ?

And?

It's Portugal, they eat anything.

I wonder when in history someone was so hungry that they thought they would try eating that sort of thing.

Have you tried any raw clams ? Like bar clams , oysters, or mussels ? Think theirs only one way to settle this ...im going to try to find a squid and chew a piece of tentacle raw and see...lol.

Looks alot better cooked, like onion rings almost...lol.

Yes and being closely related to mollucks I bet it taste the same..its basically a clam without a shell..

He wont understand that, its too long a word for him

It’s not a fish, it’s a cephalopod.

Tou can eat them raw, no problem. But the flavour is very different, less intense and more ocean. This one ended up sauted with onion and garlic and a chilly, white wine, then an heirloom tomato for a while to cook it properly, and parsley, a good mix with linguini, and a squeeze of lemon before serving. Tasted amazing, but the credit goes for the squid. The nice flavour and texture is what you get from buying line caught adult seafood that lived a good life while wild, instead of eating whale blubber like Marcel!

More or less. You either cook it very gently for long, or hard and fast, it goes soft then chewy and them soft again.

I'm intrigued...how exactly do you cook a squid ? Can it be boiled ? Just curious what it would taste like boiled...or raw..
