A few of you have noticed that I'm a little darker skinned than I was previously (see photo to left). Well, the explanation is simple, it's a recent photo and I was at the beach getting my ultra-tan on. I happened to be at the BIL Conference, and was in Monterey where the beaches are. BIL was…
Kraken: The Curious, Exciting, and Slightly Disturbing Science of Squid by Wendy Williams is a new book on the science of squid.
I wondered at first why a popular science book would be named after a legendary creature (the Kraken) but when I read the book and also read up on The Kraken it became…
Paula Moore is quite unhappy about the colossal squid capture.
None of this is necessary. Leaving fish (and other animals) off our plates is the most humane choice--and the best way to help replenish the world's fragile oceans. It is the only way to ensure that spectacular animals like the colossal…
Speaking of hugging your squid today, A colossal squid, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, has been caught — it's about 10 meters long and weighs about 450 kg. The place to go for all the information is TONMO, of course; I'll just share some of the pretty pictures with you.
Sad to say, this beautiful…
Have you been ?
Have you been smoking kraken?
It's obviously Thor battling the giants. Or Colonel Sanders. Or that crazy guy down the street who hands out pamphlets and yells at people as they walk by.
Or maybe the summit of Mount Everest?
I really wasn't expecting Cthulhu to be pink. Must be the madness setting in...
Looks like a Cheney.

So, this looks like a squid to you, does it? Very interesting....
.... So, now, what does this one look like? I suppose a squid also, yes?
Very interesting...
Uh-oh. There are squid everywhere!
It's a big pink ghostly willy!
Oh c'mon, you were *all* thinking it...
maxi,
I assure you I look nothing like that!
Hmmm - I saw something else... I can't say what I DID see - at least not in polite company - but it wasn't a squid...
Perhaps I've seen the cover of ELP's Brain Salad Surgery one too many times, but I definitely didn't think that was a squid at first.
The receipt is proof of life after calamari. Now, calamari after death? That would be heaven.
Best calamari in the city of Boston: The Daily Catch. The squid ink pasta putanesca will rock you as well.

Best Calamari in the City of Minneapolis: JP's in LynLake neighborhood. The dipping sauce is to die for. Or even better, to kill for.

Will have to keep in mind. Flying in to Mpls and meeting a friend the Sunday before x-mas, and heading down to the p's the next day. Some good squid in Mpls might be a good thing.
Now this is good information to have.
I'm also driving in to Minneapolis the Sunday before 'podmas, to pick up #2 son at the U. I may have to make a stop at this restaurant.
JP's is pricey, but you can also go to the bar and get the squid and some other delicacies. His (JP's) "pizza" appetizer is also great.
It is just north of the Jungle Theater on Lyndale. (just north of Lake Street) Park in the back.
Greg,
Any sushi recs? I used to love Sushi Tango, but they seem to have gone a bit downhill, along with the rest of Calhoun Square. Some Ika salad might also be nice.
Fuji Ya, same parking lot as JP, but just around the corner on Lake Street, is my second choice.]
But my first choice is Azia, located on Nicollet and 25th (parking lot entrance on Nicollet, just north of the resturant)
Azia is an azian fusian resturant and a sushi resturant linked to each other, but both menus are available in both locations. The sushi part is called the Anemoni Sushi Bar, but it is all in the same place. I don't know about Ika salad, but you can certainly get Ika nigiri or sashumi.
The nice thing about Azia is that you can go with a group that includes non-sushi eaters, and everybody can have one of the best meals they can get.
If you order non-sushi, I recommend the char.
Thanks...been a while since I've spent regular time in Mpls, so I do lose a bit of touch.
"Goatse" strikes again?

I hardly think this qualifies as proof of some "Squid-God". If it had been a frozen waterfall, well THAT would have been something.
Absolutely it's the reflection of a fluorescent pink jelly-dong:

Nonsense, that's obviously His Noodlyness.
