Now 50% Older!

Jason turns 6 today, making him about 50% older than in the photograph. And no, we do not get snow this early in October (the photo is from mid-December-2005).

Happy Birthday, Jason! Enjoy it while the # is that low! I've already passed my 25 X 2 #!
Hope your daddy takes a picture today so he can post it when you're 12.
Enjoy your cake and presents.

I think he had a pretty good day - although I was not there.

The mornign started with me calling at 07:00 and playing a game of HOT or COLD with him to find his present. He got a Spiderman backpack, a Spiderman MegaBlocks set (just think Lego), and a Spiderman board game. Along with a Spiderman birthday card. Sofia bought him a small cake and we will have a fuller celebration this weekend when various family members meet at my sister's to do a Thanksgiving / Birthday celebration.

MOI: not so much the movies as the 1960's cartoon ( actually, I am not aware of him having watched the movies more than once each). He is much more into Power Rangers (but that has its own problems with him wanting to act out action moves).

ghee: thanks!

Not quite Jacques Cousteau

I had bought some frozen calamari (squid) a while back and decided that it was time I actually did something with them. I thawed them out and cleaned them. I have never done this before and I am sure I was horribly slow and inefficient (it took me an hour to clean 2 pounds – 907g – worth). You begin by grasping the body and pulling out the head and guts. Then you squeeze out the guck inside and then peel off the skin (or film) on the surface. As a bonus, most of the skin comes off when you squeeze out the gunk. Finally you need to remove the spine. This was news to me, I thought that squid did not have any hard structure (aside from the beaky mouth). It is an interesting piece, when removed, it looks exactly like a piece of transparent plastic. Still haven’t decided what to make with it, but I will cook it tonight. Photo credits: Richard of Forbidden Planet [Note: today, blogger forced me to change over to the new blogger.

Le Pingouin is probably not what you think it is.

Discovered over the weekend that le pingouin is not a penguin, but a type of auk known as a Razorbill . The French translation for penguin is manchot . Apparently, this is a common error. Not surprising since many languages clearly have some sort of agreement on penguin: pingüinos (Spanish), pinguine (German), pikkewyn (Afrikaans), pinguino (Italian), pingwiny (Polish), pingvinfélék (Hungarian), pingüim (Portugese). Images nabbed from here and here .
