Palaeontologists have drawn with ink extracted from a preserved fossilised squid uncovered during a dig in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. The fossil, thought to be 150 million years old, was found when a rock was cracked open, revealing the one-inch-long black ink sac.
A picture of the creature and its Latin name was drawn using its ink.

I did a search and didn't see any other reviews for The Squid and the Whale, so I'll throw my 2cents in.
This is the story of a family going through a separation and divorce, and all the troubles "Joint custody" cause. I am a lucky girl and my parents have been together for 35 years, but I recognized many of the situations from my friends lives.

My friend made this for our New Year's Eve dinner party: a squid and barley salad with balsamic reduction sauce. It tasted even better than it looked, which was very good.

In summer, tiny tavernas throughout Greece are swamped with people—people sipping shot glasses of ouzo or long glasses of cold lager, and the same people nibbling on an array of small plates of mezedes. Mezedes is usually translated as "appetiser" or "starter"', but this translation does not do justice to the fundamental role mezethes play in Greek tradition.
History notes that Ancient Greeks made it impossible for their society to indulge in alcohol without some tasty morsel to nibble on.

Greece is a land of vibrant cuisine. It is food that is neither spicy nor bland, but rich in the flavors of the Mediterranean. It is comfort food in the truest sense of the word.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — It used to be easier to live a secret life growing up.
You could leave home, disappear from the radar, have different circles of friends, and spend that hidden time figuring out who you are.
