Oh no! Although, really, 89 is a good long life. And hers was full of more awesomeness than most.
I buy a shellfish combon that includes cuttlefish - octopus, squid, cuttlefish, mussels and shrimp. Usually make it with pea pods, carrots, water chessnuts and onions in a souce of wine, sesame and safflowe oil, soy sauce, mollasses, garlic, five spice and umm whatever else I have in mind, stir fried with whole wheat angel hair pasta. Generally I refer to it as cthulhu stew.

Uh-huh. Except I can semi-articulate it. I think.
