I love to eat squids! My husband knew that the best. When I saw fresh squids with clear and hard skin by the beach market, my eyes get big. Yummy! I have to eat more squids tomorrow!

Note from Vern: Oh my yes, this is a fact. When we go to the Korean BBQ – where we can fry the food on a grill type surface right at our table she covers her side with squid. She grills it, and there is another part of the pan that lets you heat it in the broth – she covers her side with squid in there too. It’s no exaggeration to say that she has a good 10 ounces of squid when we visit those places. It’s a wonder they make any money off us. It’s all you can eat for just 3 dollars a person. She eats all hers in Squid. I eat most of mine in the ice-cream after I eat a lot of vegetables and chicken. Thailand is so great for incredible food!
