Will you take it loose, or any which way but loose?<BR/><BR/>Mr. the Greek - I really need to get a little hibachi instead of just the huge grill (seriously, you could fit a kid in that thing), so I can do little two-person grill sessions. <BR/><BR/>Petah - I call it "squids". Or "cephalopods". Mmm...delicious cephalopods....<BR/><BR/>Dhanggit - Glad to provide a hubby-loving recipe!
