One of my fave Asian foods :giggle:

Some places call it "cuttlefish" :D

Though I do my best to avoid the jalapeños ;)

Thank you, though I do not eat much if any Chinese food any more. Certainly compared to how much of it I consumed in days gone by... it is much less :) These days I am more prone to go for East Indian food :D I had to go out yesterday and my friend - who has been kind enough to drive me to my appointments (as/since my own car's battery died from lack of use) - kept asking me if there was anywhere else I wanted to go, so I eventually confessed a desire to get my faves from a family run Punjabi restaurant: veggie samosas, butter chicken, paneer with peas, and plain naan bread :D That amount of food will last me for days; so far I have only eaten three of the samosas :D Oh, my, they are so yummy (y):D

Do you just not like squid or is there some other reason you don't eat it? I remember the first time I took a bite out of a prawn; I was well into my twenties at the time, and, PTOOEY! Haha, I immediately spit it out. The texture was just so odd. Rubbery kind of LOL. But being on the west coast, seafood is much more prevalent than where I was born and raised, and I did get used to eating prawns and shrimp, though I have since given them up. I used to eat oysters and crab and lobster and even escargot heh, yikes! Of course they are not your garden variety of snails, but still… snails? Sure, a lot of butter and garlic makes them more palatable but I will never eat those things again. Lobster is often just too messy and fussy for me, and crab I find very rich, but even for Biblical reasons I will not eat these things any where near as often if ever again. I do realize it is what comes out of our mouths that makes us "unclean" and not what we put in them, but those critters are still bottom feeding scavengers. I never cared for mussels, but I have eaten other mollusks, like in soups ~ clam chowder, for instance. I never really liked it, though. I do like scallops, but can certainly live without them, also, and they are quite expensive. I'd rather just have tuna or salmon :D Or even cod, as in fish and chips. That is always a treat :D

Also, living on the west coast there is a high Asian population here, and I have worked with many Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Cambodian etc, though mostly Chinese, and two of my three bosses here have been Chinese, and so we would often eat at Chinese restaurants for special occasions. Even our staff Christmas dinner, for may years we went to a Chinese restaurant and had a ten course meal that included many things I would most likely not normally eat, and shark fin soup is now illegal LOL. Have you ever had squab? Haha, just another word for pigeon ;) Yeah, I have eaten that, too. It was served with the halved heads displayed/arrayed the outer edge of the plate. Their cuisine is so different from the North American diet LOL. We do not want to see the heads of the animals we are eating :oops::giggle:
 
Correction: I have actually had four bosses here :D

Only two different labs, though ;)

The first lab was 51% sold after four of my five years there, to an outfit from Alberta.

My second and last job here, my boss retired after many years, in 2011 :)

My new boss there was a former co-worker who had breathed air less time than I'd worked in the industry :LOL:

I was laid off last March due to COVID... I'd worked there since 1982 :geek:

COVID has really affected the work flow volume, and I do not know if I will ever go back :unsure:
