Whats for Dinner?

There is no time in my life where I have been either, nor both.
I don't mean "Spaghetti from a can," I mean the actual recipe from Chef Ettore Boiardi (aka "Hector Boyardee").



This recipe is stupid easy and it is absolutely marvelous.

Okay, that is a cool thing and so much better than the mass produced slop. When good ingredients are used food is sooo much better. Unfortunately his name has become synonymous with low quality junk because of ”cutting costs” and “increasing profits.”
 
Stew meat, parsnips, portobello mushrooms, frozen mixed veggies, red onion, red wine, beef stock, basil, thyme, salt and pepper, topped with fried onions and crushed Funyuns.

I didn't have the luxury of cooking it for 4 hours, so the stew meat wasn't as tender as I'd like, and I had to speed up the thickening of the gravy with corn starch as a result, but it was still tasty.

While I was out of town on vacation the other week, I stopped at a little chain place called "Two Hands Corn Dogs." Had to try it.

I was disappointed to find that the corn dogs did not, in fact, require two hands. Given the iconography, I think it would be more accurate to call it "Dual Wield Corn Dogs."

Anyway, I got the Spicy Dog, which is a corn dog rolled in powdered Flamin Hot Cheetos and drizzled with hot sauce, filled half-sausage half-mozzarella, and I gotta say it was really damn good. Like... the best corn dog I've had in my life good. I looked it up, and these things right now seem to be limited to Major cities (of which B/CS is not one), so I guess if you guys are passing by one in Denver or Albuquerque or DFW or Houston, give em a try, they're pretty damn tasty.

I have been introduced to the Cosmic Crisp variety of apple and it is the best apple.

It almost has a cinnamon aftertaste. Those fuckers that bred these are geniuses.

Yeah, there's an entire Jalapeno running through the center of that roll.

It was so good.

Imported Gruyere, alba clamshell, forest nameko, velvet pioppini, and maitake frondosa mushrooms, uncured bacon, brioche buns toasted with garlic butter. I did use mayo instead of homemade aioli tho lol
