only thing i need on a hot dog is mustard. sometimes i’ll also put sauerkraut or good relish if I have it. But I don’t have hot dogs often because I don’t usually have access to Sahlen’s (a Buffalo brand) or Zweigle’s (a Rochester brand).
Yeah, it’s odd, but I think hot dogs are one of the foods that varies the most by brand. If I’m eating them at home, I often don’t bother with any condiments. And the only two brands sold locally that are edible without condiments, imo of course, are Hebrew National and Nathans. Vienna is the only local brand of note that I"m aware of, and they’re the standard in a Chicago-style hot dog, but they’re just not as good on their own.
Leftover pork tenderloin, veggies, and mashed potatos.
Leftover BK bacon, egg, and cheese croissant
omelet, turkey, tomato, mushroom and tomato sauce
Lunch was arepas.
Dinner is bbq’d chicken wings, baked beans, fries.
Dim sum from the Asian/halal grocery store.
leftover Peking Duck
Keeping with the Chinese theme, I had a leftover egg and used it to make fried rice. Mixed in red peppers instead of peas and carrots. Also baked okra.
unfrozen chicken tikka masala that I home-made
Scrambled eggs with onion, jalapenos, and cheese. A toasted english muffin. Fruit.
Lime tortilla chips, vanilla Greek yogurt, chocolate cake.
Chicken shawarma wrap.
Leftovers from a birthday dinner at Naansense. I was about to say overrated, but I don’t actually know what they’re rated. Overpriced, maybe, for what seems to be trying to be the Chipotle of Indian food? The food was ok, not great.
Chicken Caesar salad
I was at the store and wanted a salad anyway, and the manager’s special had a few types of bagged salad marked down to only $1. Expiration dates of 5/30, and they had too many of them. I bought 2. Score!
BBQ ribs, potato salad, corn on the cob. I think I’ll be full until tomorrow.
Hamburger with “cajun seasoning”, and borracho beans. I made a pot of the borracho beans and I estimate they’ll be part of each meal for the next week.
Ate lunch with my mom, a couple of her cousins, and my oldest kid at what is purported to be Mississippi’s oldest restaurant
Had black eyed peas, honey glazed carrots, fried green tomatoes, house salad with balsamic vinaigrette, corn muffin. Shared some gumbo and a bite of a bacon tomato panini. Well executed Southern fare, a definite recommended if you are in the neighborhood.
