Do you use door-stops?

Sometimes the draught slams the door, that's for sure. Sometimes it seems to shake the whole house.

I'm glad you enjoyed your meal. I too love squid when it's done right. And no, we don't use door-stops in our house.

Squid can be very tough if it isn't cooked properly.

Are the plastic ones heavy enough or are they a wedge-shape?

I do not, necessarily. But I like yours. As for the quid, glad to hear it was good and not chewy. I think every time I have had squid, if I wanted to know what a tire might be like to eat...that is the first thing that would come to mind.

That is adorable. We have one of a white cat with purple and green flowers in our condo. We need it to keep our bedroom door from blowing closed when we open the windows facing the water. Those sea breezes can sometimes blow me across the room.

I love squid, especially squid ink.

In France, we had jet black bread and apparently the colour came from squid ink. Pardon my ignorance but how do you have squid ink? Do you eat it? Drink it? Or are you just joking?

@JudyEv It’s mostly used in pasta dishes and even used to make squid ink pasta. It has a subtle flavor and we always order it when we see it on a menu. However, it’s not something we see often.

Yes I do use door stops because I like to keep my windows open as much as possible and this causes a draught that makes the doors slam and it makes me jump.
