I was astounded. Fun.<br /><br />Daryl / AveryDaryl Wood Gerber a.k.a.

I do see that little animals must come along and nibble at them but I just can't convince myself that they're safe to eat.<br /><br />Love the black pasta for Halloween! Sort of like black rice.

I've never had it but I do remember making squid as part of a seafood dish for a dinner party.

It's wonderful how many variations there are.

It is hard to find around here, but I've been known to order it online (since I get to Italy about once a century).Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-750934403523614652013-10-25T09:10:30.016-04:002013-10-25T09:10:30.016-04:00What a clever post.

The orange mushrooms are a revelation, and I can't help but think "Halloween" when I see the photo.

Will have to try this recipe.<br /><br />In 2005 we had a Halloween party and I served squid ink pasta with salmon, grape tomatoes, garlic, and basil, with an orange pepper soup. It was a big hit, but a lot of work for a big crowd. Now I haven't seen black pasta in quite awhile. It causes a bit of a stir, doesn't it?

(And, oh, the food...)<br /><br />My husband will happily eat whatever I make, even the duds (not too many of those, I hope!). I've been told that I could treat the puffball like eggplant, but I may never get another chance.Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-86351517357553977972013-10-25T07:11:19.922-04:002013-10-25T07:11:19.922-04:00that's a cool cover--looks very Italian Sheila...that's a cool cover--looks very Italian Sheila.
