Yeah.  Throwing "grilled octopus" in there like it ain't no thang.... lol

It's easier than anything! Just clean, boil, score so it doesn't curl and throw on the grill. The legs require absolutely no prep but throwing on the grill.

Nope. You lost me at "clean" the octopus.

Also nope. I tried a few bites of some type of Greek salad before that had octopus in it, and I just couldn't bring myself to eat any parts with tentacles. I mean, I was pretty sure the tentacles could no longer suck onto the inside of my throat since it wasn't alive, but still...

I'm going to my local target and asking where they keep the octopus, lol.

We asked our grocery store about squid and they said they have to special order things like that. But they did have octopus. Go figure.

My dad loves octopus and it grosses me out every time he eats it lol. More power to those that can eat it. I have weird food issues with animals lol

Do you have a recipe for the stew?  I had Beef and Guinness at a pub in Ireland, and I can't even get close to replicating the flavor.  I'd be willing to try again...

Saturday, baked chicken legs and broccoli or asparagus
Sunday, roast beef with the other vegetable
Monday, baked chicken breasts
Tuesday, leftover roast beef (maybe a stew)
Wednesday, shrimp and stir fried vegetables for DS (I don't like seafood), meatballs for me
Thursday, pork

I have a freezer full of meat and stir-fry vegetables, but will need to pick up some fresh produce from the store this week as well (have a $2 off a $10 produce purchase coupon that I need to use).
