It can be very entertaining.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-18543432595657191752010-08-02T19:56:54.848+01:002010-08-02T19:56:54.848+01:00Excuse me.

But that was more than two weeks ago. I'm sorry I wan't keeping up with the World Cup. The only game of going after a ball I'm excited is throwing it for my neighbor dogs. They jump up and down and kiss me on my cheeks. <br /><br />About the octopus, You're so lucky to have the kind of husband who brings an octopus to entertain you and then so kind to let it go back to the Ocean. Come to think of it, I neither want to eat it after our eyes met. <br /><br />Thank you for the great photo!<br /><br />P.S. I don't see three photos under each blog. They are gone.keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-25019894800750719172010-08-02T17:06:30.394+01:002010-08-02T17:06:30.394+01:00Hello Keiko,

I do like wasabi, because it is so much like a good horseradish sauce.<br /><br />In truth, yes, I have eaten octopus and squid. We decided not to keep the octopus and decided to let it carry on with its sea life. <br /><br />Regarding your query about the gender of the octopus. We think ours may have been female as neither of us recalled seeing anything that resembled the male member that a male octopus would have.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-16005648564206073102010-08-02T05:27:29.302+01:002010-08-02T05:27:29.302+01:00ZACL,

Wasabi is green and like horseradish.<br /><br />A dish of chunky octopus, thin slices of cucumber mixed with rice vinegar and a bit of soy sauce is excellent.keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-78137730652454985222010-08-01T16:28:08.107+01:002010-08-01T16:28:08.107+01:00There's an earth shattering thought Ax.

Paul is the octopus that lives in Germany and correctly foretold who would win The World Cup Football that was recently held in South Africa. I assume the zoo where he lives have sexed Paul.<br /><br />I'm assuming it my visitor was a 'he' I don't know for certain. I would have to research the sexing of this item of marine life to positively know.<br /><br />We didn't eat the Octopus; it was brought to 'visit me' by hubby who caught it, then taken back to the sea, after the visit, where it swam off, presumably into the deep waters.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-29975527267503431582010-07-31T07:43:55.788+01:002010-07-31T07:43:55.788+01:00ZACL,

I love octopus sashimi, but not after my personal meeting with him. <br /><br />By the way, how do you know it is he? Are there male and female octopus? Paul and Paula?keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.com
