That's right, squid! My husband brought home from work Squid Jerky from Taiwan. Prepared Shredded Squid. Okay the smell is pretty gross. Nika thought it was nasty, but HELLO... she ate it!!! I thought it tasted A LOT better than it smelled. It was salty, and had a very strong taste like Sardines but it wasn't bad. It pulled apart fairly easy and was slightly chewy. I don't do slimy well, which this wasn't. I actually was going to try more but my husband was laughing at me for making weird faces & he said it stunk. He made me chuck it... I was planning on continually eating it until I grew accustomed to the taste (but I had an empty stomach which usually isn't best to try new foods with). It really wasn't bad.... for salty, dry sea animal.
This is a picture of Kole and a giant solar system floor puzzle, which we borrowed from his preschool. WOW! Kids love floor puzzles! Even Nika & my 10 year old neice loved it. Hint to parents... buy or borrow floor puzzles. We've borrowed about 3 and his school has about 20. Nnnniiiice!
Here we have the newest ice skating Olympic Champions: Jadyn and Nika! They really were pretending to ice skate.

Mmmm, I love dried squid! Unfortunately it DOES stink and it makes you stink, too. No pain, no gain! I saw Milana's pictures on the Yahoo Group - what a cutie! In the 4th pic I think she looks a lot like Lucy M.
I love Ika! Dried Squid. Yes, it does smell, but I can eat oodles of it. It's not cheap though! Cute Ice Skating princesses you have there! Can't wait to Milana dressed up!
squid, hmmm? I might try it if I have to? The ice skaters are having fun!
You are SO brave. I've seen these in Asian grocery stores but I'm not crazy... um... I mean cool enough to try!
I am impressed you all ate that, squid is not yet on my list of likes... I also enjoy the unidentifiable pics, can't wait to see how beautiful she is in one whole piece!
