Really interesting video
Also now I know why sometimes the crab is too salty (but removing the congealed white protein helps)
Also now I know why sometimes the crab is too salty (but removing the congealed white protein helps)You seem to be operating from the assumption that some person has two piles of king crab legs -- one raw and one cooked -- and is moving the raw ones to the pot to boil/steam, then moving them to the cooked pile, and that through some momentary lapse in judgment, they might forget to put them in a steamer and put them in the cooked pile. But that's not how it works. Why don't you watch this video:

You changed from having take out cheeseburgers to pizza? How far ahead do you do meal planning? I find that I eat much healthier for less money and fewer trips to the store when I plan out a few days in advance .
if you can't tell the difference in appearance between a cooked crab leg and a raw one & think you might eat it raw by mistake then you need your eyes and imagination checked. It is very much like a cooked vs a raw lobster. Fortunately the rest of the world can tell and there is zero way that a raw crab leg is going to go unnoticed and on to the shelf.

I love caesar but am torn about Caesar salad with tacos. I prefer guacamole :-)
Yes - and when it happens to me, you can all laugh at my macro decision to never heat or cook these Costco king crab legs!

From our local Mexican market:
Pre-seasoned chicken, poblano peppers, and spring onions cooked on the grill, with corn tortillas, avocado, and homemade pico and salsa verde.

.We have some shredded chicken from earlier in the week to use tonight, so most likely some type of buffalo chicken dish - salad, wrap, etc. It will be a game time decision since it should only take 15-20 mins to throw together.

Last night was canadian bacon pizza and a green salad. Currently have chicken in the crock pot which will become chicken chili for tonight's dinner.

I know there is at least one poster who is eating less meat (or living with someone who does) for just over a month. Thought I’d include a few of my own meals that can be adapted.
Got my Thursday delivery of organic vegetables (plus milk, cream and eggs) and included were a batch of Jerusalem Artichokes (AKA sunchokes) which are a seasonal treat for us. For lunch I decided to make a dish I learned from a long-standing member of the Japan Forum. First I cooked some chopped onion in three kinds of vegetable oil (sunflower, rapeseed/canola & olive) then added thinly sliced Jerusalem artichoke. Next came sliced mushrooms, thinly sliced radish/daikon, sliced lotus root, shredded carrot and lots of cabbage and then a hot stock made with two kinds of miso, a spoon or so of sake, a little Mirin, soy sauce and dashi concentrate. Also added were a couple of peeled fresh tomatoes. All simmered for about 15 minutes. My kid had a small bowl with some toasted rice (yaki onigiri), I had a bigger bowl without the rice.
It’s a good way to start eating Jerusalem Artichoke as, by thinly slicing them, you get to enjoy all the taste without eating too much of them. They have a lovely sweetness but the upside to this (sweetness is from a carb - inulin - that doesn’t get digested) is also the downside (the undigested ‘carb’ is a feast for bacteria that give you flatulence).
Go easy, particularly if it’s your first time or you haven’t eaten them for a while. I find they make a great substitute for Japanese dishes that call for gobo/burdock root. Since my kid isn’t at school this week (neither physically or online) it’s the ideal time to reintroduce them to her.
