i was over at the hilton hawaiian village yesterday. it was pretty nice looking out from the lobby to the ocean. cool…. oh, wanted to thank the boys down there for letting me park my car right in front of the hotel. where ever i go, i feel like a vip member. gosh, it’s so good to have such awesome friends that take care of me. mahalo guys…
photos like this inspire me as a surfer and a photographer. i look at it and think to myself “wow, this is what you call art.” now all i have to do is go out and get one for myself. just give me some time….
everybody in the world has their own way of cooking tako. my way is pretty easy.
first. freeze the tako. for some reason, it turns out much softer after cooked.
second. defrost it and turn the head inside out and take out the brains.
third. pour a lot of salt all over to wash off the slime.
fourth. rinse it off.
fifth. heat a big pot on the stove. don’t put anything in.
sixth. throw the whole tako inside. the water from the tako will bring it to a light boil.
seventh. when the tako starts to boil, add in 2 cups of japanese sake, and 2 cups of mirin.
eight. cover it and cook on medium/low heat for 45 minutes. yes, i said 45 minutes. it’s called slow steaming.
ninth. take it out, cut it up, and enjoy the best tako of your life.
tenth. go dive and get another tako. please don’t ask me for one because tako is like gold to me.
try it, you’ll like it…
