I was not sure how much we would like the squid. I used frozen rings, only 1/2 lb. I have to say - the two of us ate all of this. I used yellow and red peppers instead of green, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. (Oh, did not make the noodles). What a wonderful broth. I think this would also be good with shrimp or fillets of white fish.

Delicious! I used Poblano Chiles instead of green bell peppers because is what I had on hand. It made the dish just spicy enough. The saffron gives lots of lovely flavor. I had some sauce left over, so I added some shrimp, heavy cream and served it over fresh pasta; two wonderful meals. Thank you Evelyn.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
