Schneier on Security

Does anyone find it ironic that this would be in the "Aromas" area, seeing that the aroma of such a spill could probably take out power by itself?

Run! Run little squidies! Run for your freedom!!

:)

In case somebody saw it life:

Seppie ripiene

4 squids (embowelled), ca. 0.2-0.3 kg each.
0.4 kg Vongole (quahogs, lat: venus verrucosa)
1/2 bunch parsley
1 twit tarragon (russian)
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon (tb) peccorino, grated
1 tb parmiggiano, grated
2 tb pine nuts (roasted)
1 egg
4 tb breadcrumbs
4 tb olive oil
0.25 l dry white wine (needs a bit of acid)
1 dash Noilly Prat (or Pernod)
Salt,black pepper

Cook the vongole in boiling salty water about 5 minutes. Take the meat out (toss shells which are still closed in the garbage!) and cut it roughly.
Cut the parsil and the clove of garlic in small pieces (do not chop. Use a sharp knife and cut).
Decapitate the squids. Cut head and arms in small pieces.
Mix shell meat, parsil, garlic, pine nuts, breadcrumps, egg, head, arms and the cheese. Salt and pepper.
Fill the squid bodies with the mixture and close them with a toothstick or needle&twine.
Heat oil in a large pan, sear them and add the wine, the twit of tarragon and the dash Noilly Prat (or Pernod). Cover the pan and cook it 30-35 minutes at medium heat (ca 80 degrees Celsius).
Take the squids out and keep them warm.
Reduce the wine a bit if necessary and bind the sauce (is it "bind a sauce"? it's "monter une sauce" in french) with some cold butter. Put the squids back.

I would propose a simple white wine with it.

If you think it is too crunchy: omit the clam-shells next time.

I thinking it well.

Where is a hockey game when you need one?

I'm guessing that the Friday Squid Blogging is just a clever marketing scheme for your next generation encryption algorithm.
First it was blowfish, then two fish, and next (just a wild guess):
semi-squid

i'm right, aren't i?

@YS,

If such an algorithm were released I wouldn't use it; any claim of security wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Aha! More proof that squid lead very strnge lives.
- P.B.

"Where is a hockey game when you need one?"

You need an octopus for a hockey game.

"You need an octopus for a hockey game."

Only in Detroit!

Ah, yes, I seem to vaguely remember something about this in the news a while back...

It is one of the most mysterious animals on the planet - no one knows how it moves, where it lives, what it eats or how it reproduces. And now members of the public can see one for themselves.

Yesterday the most complete giant squid ever found was put on display at the Natural History Museum's Darwin Centre in London.
