“Models of clocks,” Bruno Braquehais, 1873
This photograph was probably used as an advertisement by the clocks’ maker.
Octopasta!
Because there are two things in this world I cannot resist. One is octopus and the other is a decent portmanteau.

“Man was made for joy and woe.”
“Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine.
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine.
It is right it should be so;
Man was made for joy and woe;
And when this we rightly know,
Safely through the world we go.”
–William Blake, “Auguries of Innocence” (1863)

My World-Famous Octopus-Swiss-Burger.
The trick to deliciousness is to pour the juice from the octopus can onto the beef while it is frying — preferably with Swiss cheese from the good people at Food Lion.
The last time I shared an octopus recipe online, somebody told me to “up my meds.” Sigh … like pearls before swine, people.
Update — I know that this does not seem like part of a heart-healthy diet. But it actually IS, because an octopus has eight hearts.
