brought them home and made a stab at cooking them.
A few years ago we were at Morro Rock and found abalone at the fish market. Cruising in my 1970 Airstream. Tried to pound it out and saute. First time.
Nothing special, but at $20 a shell, decided not to refine my talents. Still, have the shell on display in a bookcase.
Hear so many good stories about squash blossoms. Must be a great market.
