BANSI COCONUT MUD CRABS – GISMO MAN GETS CREATIVE

        Gismo Man is definitely an alpha male (now you know where Typhoon Thory picked up his traits). But during blue moons, his gamma male characteristics emerges. A blue moon emerged on the eve of Mother’s Day!! Didn't any of you noticed, or was it only my family?

         He was fussing around the kitchen yesterday checking stuff. I presumed he was in one of his “throw away all the past expiry date stuff” which I have a bad habit of keeping. Then, early Sunday morning he insisted on going to a particular supermarket for groceries. Aeon is always crowded during this Conditional Movement Control Order period. Just waiting to get in takes at least 30 minutes, minus the time for scanning QC code, filling in personal particulars and taking temperature. Nevertheless, he went on his own and returned home with a wide variety of spices – cumin, sweet cumin, cloves, cardamom, mustard seeds, grated coconut, coriander, ginger, chilli and garlic powder. It was mind-boggling. 

 Note, Gizmo man even downloaded a a recipe on his hand phone.

         Then a packet of mud crabs emerged from the shopping bag. Ohh .. heavenly CRABS .… my favourite. What more can a Girl ask for?

         I am sometimes allergic to seafood and end up at the emergency department for intravenous injections and saline drips. But I am quite used to these hospital visits for preservative poisoning since I cannot resist these delectable crustaceans. They are to DIE for - opps ... sorry for the weak pun.

        So, Gizmo man really spent the entire afternoon mixing,

        chopping, frying - a good work out. Note, the daily temperatures in Malaysia are around 30 degrees C. It was 31 degrees this afternoon

Gizmo man cooked an entire dinner – coconut crabs, stir-fry cauliflower and “capati” (Indian bread). I only made the raita (yoghurt with cucumber and onions).
