at home, before my play date:
grilled cheese and grated tillamook medium cheddar (Costco)
I cooked for my family and nibbled:
costco wild shrimp (thawed in water with 2 tsp salt and then boiled with salt & lemon juice; then peeled) - omg this was great!! I also dipped some in Gardel’s traditional chimichurri sauce which was good but is it worth $11.99?? Either way, today 4/15/21 is my first time cooking frozen shrimp and I’m SO HAPPY!!!! Big yay. So delicious. I can now make soup with shrimp or just do a shrimp omelette. Gaobest is SO HAPPY. AND BUZZED.
costco choice rib eye steak ($13.99/lb), grilled - super good. Better than the Safeway choice steak ($6.99/lb). Nice medium rare. I’m a Costco rib eye steak convert. I guess zero more Safeway steak.
omg I can have steak and eggs for my Friday bruncheon. Perfect brunch after a night of drinks. I had like 3 or 4 scotches. So fun. So happy. I need to get wasted more often.
My true dinner at the play date (with 3 people of India origin):
indian!!
Chicken biriyani
chana masala
naan
samosa
Tandoori chicken (?)
japanese and highland park whiskey
strawberry it’s it Ice cream (my first it’s it in many months!)
some canned sparkling water
the host got catered Indian food from a Berkeley restaurant cook. All was super good. Nice heat.

Well if you want a smaller package size (and smaller shrimp) the argentinian red shrimp that I thought you said you bought is only 1.5 lbs and is also wild. Maybe I was confused because you always say red king crab legs & I just assumed red shrimp too!
The smaller Costco label with the price tag says “Previously Frozen” which is SUPER CONFUSING
this wild shrimp costs $12/lb
the Argentinean red shrimp costs more, like $15-25 a pound. I forgot the actual price but it’s a lot more than $12/lb.
