During the Seven Years War, Britain defeated the French and their Indian allies and foolishly expected the Colonials to bear at least some of the burden of their own defense, as well as the expense of governing said colonies...rather than having that burden extended to Britain at large.

There Will Be Blood And Flying Monkeys

I am watching Alexander Nevsky, which I ordered from Netflix. I have a bottle of Ketel One, which I am drinking out of a glass, although the bottle itself is sitting on a tray on top of my ottoman. The volume on the television is muted, because the film's dialogue is in Russian, and has subtitles anyway, so I don't need to hear any of it. I have my CD player on and I am listening to Stravinsky's Histoire du soldat. I have an ingrown toe-nail, which is causing me a great deal of annoyance, so...

Free-range squid recipe

Posted April 26th, 2009 at 02:55 PM by Pete Bondurant

A Free-Range Squid is allowed to roam without being confined and feeds on naturally grown crops, consuming only a vegetarian diet. This is unlike most commercially raised squid, which are confined to feed lots where the food consumed is commercially produced. Free-Range Squid are not given antibiotics to keep them from being exposed to unwanted chemicals. Many people like the flavor of Free-Range Squid, however, their quality can vary widely and they are generally more expensive.
