If it helps any....

It can be made a few different ways, but I've always made it with eggs,parm.cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, breadcrumbs and a little red pepper.

I clean and stuff the squid with the above...put a toothpick in the end to hold it closed and cook it in sauce. I put the sauce over pasta (ling.) and serve the squid separetly.

(I got this recipe from my mother (she doesn't even speak english...she litterally off the boat)!

Good Luck!!

BTW...a little tip for ya...don't stuff the squid completely...it srinks A LOT when you cook it.

Thank you very much..
My mother is away and Ronnie wants to eat this.
I usually don't know the english name.....

But it had onions in it and crabmeat..

:)

Thanks again

My mom does the toothpick thing too
You just reminded me that she made it by saying that

Cat-Theresa asked you but thats ok, I like hearing what part of Italy people are from.

Anna..
Do you know I am waiting 2 mts for my pics from TF!!!!!!!!!!!

UGH, He's the worse !! We were just with him ALL DAY Sunday (my best friends wedding). He was telling me and my sister to shut up all day. We're always yelling right back at him He's a perfectionist, so he'll tell you to move this way and that way, 35 times in 95 degrees, so it gets frustrating. He's a good guy though. Gotta love him. Thank God his son is calm, keeps the sanity between them

GUESS WHO ????????

LOL

OK, I'll take it down after a few minutes.
Gotta get him at his best, after a long day of women yelling back at him

OMG I wish I could show Ron the pic!!!!!!

That is PRICELESS..
He told me 2830284082 times Theresa please stay FOCUSED And stop goffing off with Ronnie and take the pics.... I was sticking my tounge out!

He has several famous lines on the big day. (After you hear them at a bazillion weddings, its not funny, its corny).

When he wants groom to put his hand under the bride's bouquet, he goes 'OKay, put your hand under the bush'
Ha ha very funny
