I most generally don't bring home books unless I plan to keep them. Since I got
the Kindle I hardly bring home any print books at all. But, I still, even when
having a clear-out fit, am reluctant to part with most of my books. Exceptions
made, of course, for the deathless prose I was given as a gift at holiday time.
Most of which came from the remainder table where it was consigned with good
reason. Also, many of my print books (Kenneth Roberts, etc.) are not available
on the Kindle - at least, I've not been able to track them down.

The only magazines I have ever left at a church came when in a fey mood I left
some copies of Playboy in various church Men's Rooms.

Well, yeaaaah. I only subscribe to two magazines currently (besides the AARP
duo) Automobile has an easily peeled address label. And Saveur comes in a clear
plastic bag so there is no addy on the book itself.

      Title: Arroz De Choco (Macao Squid Rice)
 Categories: Oriental, Seafood, Rice, Vegetables
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      4 md Whole squid
      1    (1") pc ginger; peeled,
           - minced
      1 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
      2 md Yellow onions; peeled, in
           - thin wedges
      2 c  Long-grain rice
      4    Whole cloves
      2    Bay leaves
      6 md Tomatoes; cored, quartered
           Salt & fresh ground pepper
 
  To clean the squid: Cut off tentacles just below the eyes,
  remove and discard beak, and set tentacles aside. Push out
  entrails by sliding the back of a knife along the body
  from the tail to the opening. Pull out quill and discard
  with entrails. Peel off skin, if you like. Cut tentacles
  in half lengthwise and cut body into rings. Combine squid
  and ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
  
  Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions
  and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add rice, cloves,
  and bay leaves and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add
  tomatoes and 2 1/2 cups water. Increase heat to
  medium-high, bring to a boil, and cook 10 minutes.
  
  Add squid, season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir
  well. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until liquid is
  absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Set aside
  for 5 minutes. Discard bay leaves before serving.
  
  In Macao, squid rice is always served as a side dish-an
  alternative to plain white rice.
