I need to practice on my macro shots again (on food, that is) and this morning with nothing much to do, I decided to cook the squid Josef and I bought at the wet market a few days ago. I have to remove the heads and clean everything from the thin-film on the outer skin down to the belly before freezing it. A kilo of regular-sized squid is good enough for two meals. As I don’t want to labor much in the kitchen by grilling it, I made the stuffing out of about one-fourth kilo of ground pork sautéed in garlic, onions, one egg, a spoonful of cornstarch, carrots and green bell pepper. You have to make sure that the ground pork is properly cooked since you only need to fry the squid to make it a little crispy on the outside. I marinated the squid in calamansi juice (Philippine lime), ground pepper, salt and granulated garlic for about thirty minutes before putting it in the frying pan. It was an experiment and partnered with mixed veggie salad, it tasted surprisingly good. Josef said, “success”. Yeay!

It's been some years since I started this blog. Supposedly, it was only to share my plight as a cancer patient and survivor but over the years it has somehow evolved into something personal about my life and my family. So really glad to have met you all wonderful people out there. Someone commented once that he liked the title of this blog, Dreams and Escapes. Dream on, there are more things in life than we really think. Be happy, you only live once. Sometimes you also need an escape from the vicissitudes of life and this blog helps me cope. Welcome. Feel free to leave your comments, I do welcome them.

I like the sound of squid stuffed with pork Arlene. Though I cannot imagine the combination of the taste of fish and meat in this recipe, I do have a feeling that it will work well. It was nice to see squid served whole too, as over here, we generally have it cut into rings or slices before cooking.
Best wishes from England, Pete.

I can eat this all day. One of the best events of my Philippine trip was the seafood. No American restaurant can match it’s flavor and freshness. Capiz and Iloilo are blessed with seafood that captures not just taste buds but hearts as well, mine included. Thanks for sharing this yummy food. God bless and all the best to you and your family.
