Say ‘hello’ to Abalone

You may relate. You do a thing well knowing that you will later regret it. Sending my husband to Costco is one such thing. And I did that thing this week.

And that’s when we said ‘hello’ to Abalone!

Once I spotted these little sea bombs in the giant cardboard box of grocery items, ( 75% of which were not in my list, just to make it clear), I resorted to the all-knowing google to discover if they off any exceptional nutrition value. I quickly realized – whether they offer high/low nutritional value is a question second to their impact on the wallet value. And hence, the said regrets!

Realizing that cooking these new little creatures may be the best way to destroy the evidence and hence, the guilt, I began the curry process right away!

Caramelized onions and a myriad of spices form the base to this quick and tasty dish. Since the canned ones were ready to be consumed, making this was a cinch and they were devoured in less than the time taken to make them.

There are somethings money can’t buy and the gastronomical happiness shed by these said Abalone is one of those things. And for that reason, I will pull the curtain to my drama and admit — No regrets! He can go shopping to Costco any time he wants.

hmmmm….

Will stick to once a month!

Will stick to once in two months.
