    Squid, tentacles and all

    So, I got some frozen squid the other day. Not sure how many are in the pack, will have to check. Jusa prefers to fry them up. Which I could do and for me would probably be the safe way to do it... LOL. Would have to slice them thin and pan fry them as I don't really do deep frying. But...

    Stove top smoker, wood chunks OK vs chips?

    My son and DIL got a flat top grill last year. It's a monster and were it my own to use anytime there would be no problem. I don't use it enough to be comfortable. I was thinking of using my stove top smoker on it, but although I've found it is not recommended for glass top burners (althugh...
