in December I’ve bought the king crab legs at Costco. Super yum.

As much as I love king crab, I have feeling if it was 2.99/lb, it would become so-so after a while.
I used to have to go to Europe to go shop at Muji - I still use their omelette pan that I bought at muji Düsseldorf in 2006. Then muji recently opened up in sf about 5-6 years ago and now I’ve gone about 2-3 times if that often. So I sort of know what you mean by Alaska king crab legs although I’d still love it.
tonight’s supper:
tartine bread - separate toasts with butter and peanut butter & Crofters morello cherry jam
I know I say it’s $12 but it’s 35-Oz (1000gm) loaf. It’s huge. I think I can actually get 16-18 slices. I sliced and froze 6 pieces and it was quite under half the loaf.
so one used to have to go to Tartine (very very difficult parking) at 5p to get their daily bread. Total hassle.
now they wholesale it and I can fetch it at 9:30a at a place that’s on the drive home or just 5 min drive (in San Francisco so I’m factoring traffic & parking). At 9:30a I’m usually the only client so mega convenience.
with it being easier to get Tartine bread, I get it weekly and it’s just as special as when it was a very luxury item not because of cost but Because of the mega time commitment to fetch it. Before I could get it at my local gourmet grocer, I probably had it once a year because I only would go to tartine once a year if that often - it’s just such a total pain and it is sized like EssA Bagel or twice that of Denise Acabo’s chocolate store in Paris. Even LaDuree is bigger.
