' "We served barbecued ribs, barbecued salmon, baked salmon, sweet and sour ribs, and octopus. The octopus was ground and deep fried in the form of fritters. "We were hard pressed to keep up with the demand. I suspect that many people didn't realize what they were eating, but everybody loved it!" colorful vests for Moose members. "I enjoy womanly hobbies," she declares. "I'm comfortable as a woman. I know my capabilities and I don't need to prove anything to anybody."
