=======================
I am sure I answered this, but it may have been in
the messages I lost during the crash. So here again.

 NB> Good choice.  :)

Yes indeed. Annie of course thought they were just too
strange; but Billy loved them, as did Annie's brother,
as did I.

 NB> Hopefully the leftovers, especially the mushrooms and chops, were
 NB> savored later...  :)

I hope so - the former got mixed in with a bolognese that
I'd previously made. The latter, I imagine Billy would have
eaten them, if he were reminded they were there. I was gone
soon after, though, so would not have been there to do the
reminding. I go back in a couple weeks.

 NB> Indeed.

Have to keep him nourished and hydrated to keep him a step
ahead of the cancer. Someday the cancer may shut off the
digestive tract altogether, and then it's curtains, but
until then we are doing our best. Interestingly, hydrating
is not a problem, as Billy goes through close on a gallon
of Gatorade a day. I guess his body requests what it needs.

Salt-pepper squid
cat: Asian, main
servings: 3

1 1/2 lb cleaned squid
1 1/2 c cornstarch
salt and pepper
oil
1 serrano chile, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
coarse salt, pepper

Rinse squid, separating bodies from tentacles.
Slice bodies into rings. Dry squid but not thoroughly.

Separately dredge tentacles and bodies in lightly
seasoned cornstarch.

Separately fry tentacles and bodies in 375F oil.
With tentacles, separate and open with chopsticks
to maximize content with oil.

Do not let coating color beyond a very pale whitish
gold. Drain on paper towels when done.

Combine chile, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
Strew over drained cooked squid.
