My mom makes excellent potato soup. I keep trying to get the recipe off her hands.

I love potato soup. I make mine with peeled red potatoes, milk, condensed milk, onion, lots of butter, a healthy dose of cayenne pepper, and I add little dumplings made with flour and eggs. And, yes, plenty of freshly ground black pepper. I think I'll make a pot tomorrow night now that you mention it.

I'm not convinced it was shark. It tasted a whole lot more like Tilapia...

Sometimes the sushi restaurants have a poster in the window showing the dozens of different kinds of sushi. A lot of them remind me of Pokemon critters. lol Though I've always wanted to try the one that looks like its made from caviar.

Another really brave soul. God bless you as I can't do that sushi ordeal.

Another member of the brave soul society. Sadly as much as I can enjoy a fish dinner or some "lobby", I have to say, "this older kid won't eat no squid"!

Please do, I love the thought of making potato soup and I can do more than one "batch" at a time, plenty of pots and room on the stove!

I love squid! There's a Chinese place not far from me that has the best fried squid.
...think I'll have that for lunch tomorrow

Ordinarily I would be licking my lips and reaching for the potatoes, but I absolutely went to town at a sushi restaurant tonight, and I feel a little seasick...

This is where my cravings usually get me. But do I learn? No, never.

Never tried sushi..C-dot...but it reminds me of my wife and I sitting in a restaurant in Charleston. While ordering a meal of Shrimp&Grits(yum)...I finally got up the courage to order a doz oysters on the halfshell as an appetizer. The waitress asked.."Fresh..or saltwater"? Well..that blew my cover as a fine dining expert(never had either)...so I simply asked.."Which tastes the best"?:becky: Her opinion was that the saltwater oysters were more flavorful...so that's what I ordered. After they arrived...I tried one..and was delighted at how tastey they actually were! Asking my wife to try one..she answered:Never! So I tried another..and discribed how good they did indeed taste. Asked her again:No! I ate another..and stated that they tasted nothing like you would think. How about it:Well..maybe I'll try one!:eusa_clap We both ended up eating six apiece with no ill effects...and no one died.

O. K. I want to be totally serious. I have been around this world and have had meals in places that even a cup of coffee is about $30.00 per cup and not one time have I ever heard or seen on a menu the word, Calimari!

No I have not had it. It may tickle your taste buds, but it just chills me to think of even the name. Example: (now not so serious), "Oh Doctor, can you please come check my son he seems ill, I think he has a bad case of Calimari, we were in Bolivia a few days ago and I think he may have caught it there..."....

That's what I call a happy ending! I love saltwater oysters

You have got to be kidding me! It's a staple appetizer in Mediterranean restaurants, breaded miniature squid! It's divine with Tahini!

Well it may be in many people's opinion a staple but I honestly cannot say I have seen it on a menu.

I seem to recall other "odd" things I may have had and liked but those things had always been cooked, and not doing anything remotely like the "tango" on my plate!

My son has loved Calamari since he was three or four yrs old!

Now for some what of a bad and or sad story, not of course a location that you had been in when eating what you and your wife shared...

In Naples with a friend of mine, he actually got a very serious illness and did have to be placed into the hospital from eating some Oysters that these "private vendors" take around on a small "pull along" cart that has a bucket of them in it, a small stool, and container of some very potent liquor, a shot glass, and a napkin. You sit on the stool and get so many Oysters and a shot of this booze, (it is like 150 proof and taste like white licorice) and you eat the Oysters and down a shot of this booze.

The Oysters are salt water and fresh from the marina area right there in Naples...right where the sewer dumps into the harbor...Oysters? No thank you. That one meal almost took my friend's life. I don't do sushi either.

My mom uses this pot I SWEAR is some sort of Army Surplus job. Almost looks like a quarter of a 55 gallon drum lol

Please do, I love the thought of making potato soup and I can do more than one "batch" at a time, plenty of pots and room on the stove!

That is nice, I have pots, I need what your Mom puts into them to be told to me so I can make a batch! PLEASE! Thanks already and in advance!

You have to be select about where you get sushi. Some places have real horrid stuff that they store in the rest rooms in the back I guess. And be prepared to spend some money cause the cheap stuff is never anything spectacular. You MAY be better off going to a seaport town to get some as it's likely to be fairly fresh. Though I must say, I had cooked seafood in Seattle at a restaurant on the bay where giant orange starfish are on the shore rocks and such. The stuff made Red Lobster seem like a five star dining experience. No es bueno.
