Dedi's Great Culinary Adventure
OK, this is Dedi, I just need to add a bit about my adventure. One of the days we had ventured to Murano which is the island of glassblowers. We had ventured up and down many a canal, in and out glass blower exhibitions as well as one museum of glass. We were hungry and decided to take a chance with a recommendation of "It's OK."
While we were ordering, I was remembering the sumptuous pasta with mussels I had had the days before. The only seafood I could make out was Pasta Noir with Cuttlefish Ink. When I look at the Italian, I thought the ink was some latin term for how it was prepared. Also I had that nagging voice in the back of my mind, "What have I heard about cuttlefish?" Maybe it is a delicacy. Perhaps to some, but all I remember is my pasta had black sewer scum all over it . "Oh now I get it, the ink really means INK." And now three days after this frightful experience I google cuttle fish, and guess what, "It is not a fish."

All right, well it's really too early in the am for me to be commenting, but I'll take a chance. Was that squid, and doesn't it taste like other slimy seafoods- you know mussles and clams and all that other jazz? You can begin to sense here that I don't experiment much with seafood? Glad to read your posts DD, and hope to read more soon. I enjoy your descriptions! Hope you enjoy our new blog which your blog inspired us to start Peg
PS Do you automatically get this comment as an email, too?
We don't get it automatically, just have to check on it.
the squid was kindof rubbery, I of course did not realize that it was squid so I just thought it was a tough, but I did not care for the taste either. I will go check your blog now.
Thanks for writing!
Actually we do get an email alert!
