Delicious

Ummm, Um, Um, ....nothing says "Greece' more than that delicious smell of freshly grilled squid or octopus wafting over the seaside cafes of any Greek isle harbor. Freshly grilled with a little olive oil, add a quick squeeze of lemon and oh my oh my - what a delicious treat. Throw in the iciest, coldest bottle of Mythos beer possible and in that moment one could not conceive of any greater pleasure. If it is lunchtime in Greece - you know where to find me. I'm salivating now just thinking about it! Off to the market for a little Octopus!

That's a new one on me. I've never had squid or octopus. I'll take your word for it that it's delicious. Have a great weekend.

That's something new I've learnt. Octopus with olive oil..will try it one day. Where I reside, we have them raw with washabi or some sauce :)It's not a Weekend;It's a Lifestyle

I think I'd prefer squid over the octopus, though I like the octopus when it's a sushi. Hehe.

Your description sure does make this squid delicious. I love calamari. It'll be quite an experience to have it this Greek way.

LivG said...

Great Photo!

But I'm sorry to say it doesn't look or sound too delicious to me!!!

that's a "must-try" recipe! :)

i know calamari and that smells great but since I've yet to travel there, I'll just take your word for it!

Kate said...

I can't say that I would eat the squid or octopus but, your picture is perfect.

I looked down your page and found so many photos I liked that I will have to come back here again.

That poem about the fallen trees is beautiful. Did you write that or was it by Pablo Neruda like another commenter mentioned? Either way, thanks for sharing that.

Have a nice day.

TR Ryan said...

Hi Michelle,

That was definitely Neruda. I hope it still says so at the top.

Thanks for stopping by.

Never had octopus or squid. I believe your recommendation being a good one, however - NO THANKS. LOL!

"Who is this clever chap?", I said, when I read your comment on Ree's Quarter Horse post today.

I followed the crumbs to your place, and what a delightful place in the sun it is!
