Sautéed Squid with Black Bean and Corn Salsa

Sunday 10 August
While Barbara was foraging through Kroger's, she happened upon a freezer case full of 1-lb. bags of squid, discounted to $1.89 because they were being discontinued (who knew they were ever continued?).  She grabbed eight bags, so expect to see squid floating by frequently in the following weeks. 
Inside was a packet of medium-size squid bodies neatly overlapped, and an accompanying pile of tentacles.   We defrosted in the fridge and then in cold water, cut the squid bodies up into rings, divided the tentacles, and just fried briefly (ca. 3 mins.) in a panful of crisped bacon bits.  That was enough to make them edible, though with a little tooth resistance.

We accompanied them with the last of the leftover corn salsa bulked up with black beans.  An odd combo, but it worked.
