I was at HEB the other day and ran across these hot dogs, Hempler’s, they looked to be pretty good, I’d never heard of them before. What caught my eye was that they were made with Wagyu beef, and they used a lot of fancy terms to describe em too. I’m a sucker for big ol’ words I don’t unnerstand. Anyway I wasn’t about to fire up the grill for 2 hot dogs so I just pan fried em. They weren’t cheap either, $8.00 for a pack of six, but they were damn good! Tasted a lot better than most of what else is out there. Have any of yall tried these before? I saw that they also make bacon. I was out of buns so I resorted to bread…..crappy pics and plating I know, but I mainly wanted to show the hot dogs….will buy again!

Panhead John BF brought home the hemplers bacon when Sam’s Club stopped carrying wrights. I think it was tamidw who mentioned hemplers. Don’t quote me.
The bacon was ok. Not quite wrights. No where near Nueske’s. But better than OM or farmer John (this side of the Rockies, I believe).

By utter coincidence I also saw these at HEB today while looking at the hot dogs. I think I will pick them up this week.....I've got a lot of evening commitments so I need something fast to cook!Comment

Ribeye steaks on my Traeger, smoked and reversed seared.
BTW, reverse sear is not a good idea on my Traeger Timberline 850. Why? Once it heats past 400"F any and all fat and grease carches fire.
1- Seasoned with Traeger Coffee Rub
2-Smoked to 125'F, reversed seared
Do like the grill marks
3-Done and Plated with veggies, zucchini, green bell pepper, and onion

Breakfast: scrambled eggs seasoned with Tajín, placed in toasted HEB tortillas with some cheese, served with Rick Bayless' roasted tomatillo salsa and a mandarin.

Panko crusted Pacific snapper and roasted cauliflower with anchovy, lemon, and capers.
The fish was great as usual, but that sauce on the cauliflower was exceptional.
The sauce recipe is from David Tanis' Market Cookbook:
1/2 cup olive oil
3-4 anchovy filets, finely chopped
pinch red pepper flakes
3 garlic cloves, minced
zest of one lemon
2 Tbl capers, chopped
Simmer anchovy filets in olive oil over medium heat until they nearly dissolve. Add red pepper and minced garlic. Turn off heat and add lemon zest and capers.

I picked up some ribs from my local grocery store. They are always so thin. I had to do what I could with what I had. They tasted good, but poor meat to bone ratio. The kettle did a great job though, held pretty steady at 275 F the whole time.

We went full Korean last night to showcase the blood sausage we made from scratch yesterday. Clockwise from bottom: Soondae (blood sausage), tteokbokki (braised rice cakes with fish and cabbage), kimbap (seaweed rolls filled with egg, rice, and various marinated and pickled veggies), homemade kimchi. It was a feast worthy of our efforts in the kitchen that day!

hoovarmin Your 11 year old and I have that in common, then. I absolutely love the stuff. I was hooked the first time I ever had it--from a little old lady with a push-cart propane flat top on one of Seoul's back streets at 3am as I was stumbling back to my hotel after too much soju with the grad students running the Korean studies seminar I was attending. I don't know if it was that the tteokbokki was such good soakage or the fact that soju is so clean, but I didn't have a hangover later.

A NEW batch, l reuteri, and JUST l reuteri. Turned out mixing them was a mistake. Technically, to be called a yogurt it must contain three identifiable bacteria, as I'm only using l Reuteri it's not yogurt. It's a super food.

After an extended leave of absence, I returned to the pizza game tonight. I'm rusty, but expect to be back in game shape in time to make the playoffs.
