Squid Porn!
I made this for dinner tonight 'cause squid was on sale, but I wanted to make a special dinner for Bryan's birthday. We love squid. It's super good! I would up the garlic and ginger, but I just really love garlic and ginger. I also subbed cilantro for parsley, since I really don't like parsley that much. I'm about to pop some brownies in the oven for hot fudge brownie sundaes.
