    You may have one by that name. Just shift the name to add 2 after it

    Title: Kalamaria Parayemista
    Categories: Greek, Seafood, Main dish, Appetizers
    Yield: 6 Servings

    1 kg Small squid
    1/2 c Corn oil
    1 md Onion; finely chopped
    1/2 c Short-grain rice
    1/2 c Tomato puree
    1/4 c Water
    1 sm Cinnamon stick
    2 Cloves
    Salt
    Freshly ground black pepper
    1/2 c Dry white wine

    Select squid with hoods about 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) long.

    To clean squid, pull off head and attached tentacles. Cut out eyes
    and beak and discard. Clean dark skin from head and tentacles by
    pulling it off or rubbing off with a cloth dipped in coarse salt.
    Rinse, chop 3 to 4 into small pieces and keep aside. Remainder may
    be stored and fried later.

    Clean out hood (body) and remove transparent backbone from inside.
    Pull or rub off skin. Rinse well, drain and dry.

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan and gently fry onion until
    transparent. Stir in rice and stir over heat for 2 minutes. Add
    tomato puree, water, cinnamon stick, cloves, chopped squid, and salt
    and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes or
    until liquid is absorbed. Remove cinnamon stick and cloves.

    Fill hoods with rice mixture, packing it in loosely as rice expands
    and hoods contract during cooking. Close top with wooden cocktail
    picks or sew with strong thread.

    Heat remaining oil in a deep pan and fry squid hoods until lightly
    coloured, turning them frequently. Reduce heat, add wine, cover and
    simmer gently on low heat for 1 hour or until squid is tender. Add a
    little water to pan if necessary during cooking. Serve hot or warm as
    a mezethaki (appetizer).

    OUCH.

    I need to fix the message bases this weekend. I am in the process of moving the BBS over to MBSE under Slackware Linux currently--I'm really busy
    lately dealing with my health as I now have Medicare--but going okay so far.
    I have successfulkly ported my BBS doors to Linux, FreeBSD, and DOS. I need
    to build more virtual machines for ArcaOS. For W11, I cross-compile under ArcaOS and will need someone to test the doors for me.

    As for cooking, with how busy I am, my microwave and toaster oven have ceome close friends! I bought a set of the nesting non-stick ceramic-coated pans that have clip-on handles and I really like them. Been cooking a lot more since I'm losing 14% of my monthly income to Medicare.

    Ah the medicare fees. Yes, they will be a pain in about a year for me too. I get my 28$ a month for tricare back but have to get the part B to keep tricare for life.

    Fortunately it's not 14% of my income. I have military retirement, civil service retirement and lots of TSP/401k/stocks/cds. In fact, we've been living just on the 2 retirements plus Don's military retirement and social security, since Jan 2023. I used the last 3 months of government job to pay off solar and build more CDs.
