Kalamari

You will need about 8 legs and 8
bodies of the squid. I buy squid that is already cleaned and the tentacle
(legs) and bodies are separated. Squid that is already cleaned and dressed
can be found at most supermarkets. Some packages may have more legs than
bodies or vice versa. Wash squid and pat dry. Then coat with egg and dip in
flour, sprinkle with seasonings. Pour oil in frying pan on medium-high and
let it get hot before putting squid in. Be careful of splatters from oil. Fry
until golden brown and sprinkle each piece with lemon juice. Makes 6 to 8
Servings.

1/2 Lb. Squid, Cleaned and Dressed: I remember when my
family ordered kalamari at a restaurant and my sisters didn't know what it
was. The look on their faces was absolutely priceless when they found out it
was squid and they were couldn't believe my parents and i were actually eating
it! They still haven't tried kalamari no matter how many times we order it.

Salt & Pepper to Taste: Whenever I help my mom cook food for
thanksgiving and other holidays she always lets me be the last taste-tester.
She always wants my opinion about whether there is enough salt and pepper or if
there is too much. I love helping her in the kitchen and especially tasting all
her delicious food!
·
Garlic Salt or Garlic Powder to Taste: My mom is obsessed with getting
all sorts of crazy kitchen gadgets and one time she brought home a garlic
chopper that made it really fast and easy to cut garlic and onions. My sisters
tried it out and it didn't work very well. Of course they managed to break it.
My mom was really upset that it didn't work out very well but we did end up
being able to fix it. We haven't used that garlic chopper in a long time.
·
1 Egg, Beaten: I remember wondering why my mom's scrambled
eggs always tasted so much better than the kind they give you at restaurants
and hotels. She told me that she put a secret ingredient in them and
that's what made them taste a lot better. She showed me how to make
them and then add in cheese before they're done cooking and it gives them
so much more flavor. I was so excited and I liked it so much so now I make
scrambled eggs for myself all the time.
·
1/2 to 1 Cup Flour: A couple years ago when we were making an apple pie
for thanksgiving dessert my sister Sara's job was to put flour on the kitchen
counter so we could roll out the dough so it wouldn't stick. She thought it
would be fun to sprinkle the flour all around the counter very nicely but she
started to get a little too crazy with it. She got flour in everyones hair and
all over the kitchen. We laughed about it but my mom wasn't too happy when she
was cleaning up the mess.
·
3/4 Cup Olive Oil: Once when my family went out to eat at an
Italian restaurant the waitor gave us oil with vinegar to dip the bread
in. This was the first time my sisters had seen that before and they fell in
love with it. They made my mom go out and buy our own oil and vinegar to eat
with our bread whenever we wanted at home. Now every time we have Italian
dinners at home we eat our bread with oil and vinegar!
· Lemon Juice: My mom
and I love mexican food and we make it all the time- fajitas, tacos, salsa we
love it all! She loves finding new recipes to make and once she found
a new recipe for salsa that sounded really good so we wanted to try it out.
Everything went well and it was tasting fine until we put in the lemon juice at
the end. We were so excited to taste our new salsa but it was so sour! We
couldn't eat it after that but the next time we made it we were extra careful
not to put too much. It ended up tasting amazing
