Squid

So Jenn and I are start ballroom dancing classes this Thursday evening. We will be learning the Waltz, Foxtrot, Samba, Tango, Swing, and Pasodoble over the next 11 weeks.

We have been having beautiful sunny, clear weather since we returned home from N.B. but it has been very chilly so we need to find Jenn a pair of snow pants. As we found a new pair of skates for her, she will need to be warm when we go skating this weekend.

Last night I made calamari (the apartment still stinks of deep fried fish). The batter recipe I used was only so-so. The calamari was a little chewy and bland but Jenn and I ate three whole squid between the two of us anyway.

Deep fried Calamari

flour 1/2 cup
cornstarch 3 tbsp.
cayenne pepper (optional) 2 tsp.

Coat damp calamari rings and toss them in the deep fryer at a high temperature for about a minute. Once golden brown, place them on some paper towel and salt to taste.
