**********************

I bought frozen calamari, it has been cleaned and cut in rings.. I thawed, sprinkled some lemon juice and salt, let them sit then drain them, coated in flour ( mixed with salt, garlic and onion powder ), shook off the excess flour, dipped in beaten egg, then coated them in mixture of panko and breadcrumbs, one by one ( it took me 20 minutes to coat them    ), I let them sit in my fridge for an hour in an uncovered plate, then deep fried them in small batches, only for a minute each batch... oh.. they were so good.. I rarely cooked them because I've never succeeded, I gave up until last week when I saw a clean and nice package with a good price   


we are going to have grilled pork chops, Dirk is in charge, Imarinated with sweet soy sauce, ponzu sauce, Worchesterchise sauce and minced garlic.. Dirk is going to roast some green Hatch chilies too

I just set up the marble slab and pasta rolling machine for tomorrows "Homemade Pirogi"  
Tina and I are gonna crank them out tomorrow, and the kids are coming over for supper.

Oh, Jimmy, please be the official photographer to document not only the recipe but the steps in making the pirogis.  We haven't had a good tutorial in a long time and I know Tina's dough comes out super tender......
