TODAY IS....

NATIONAL MANGO DAY

I'm going to make a smoothie with fresh mango, mountain apple, lychee, yogurt and cranberry juice.

I envy people who have mango trees in their backyard.  Mangoes are so expensive in the stores. :(

When I was in Korea the local markets had a very.......interesting smell.  The air was literally permeated by garlic and chili.  Very strong and hard to get used to if you're just a visitor (or on annual training like I was).

That unique smell stays with me to this day.  I first smelled it 39 year ago.

We were raised eating kim chee.  We ate it with everything, but never thought of having it with a Hot Dog.  Now I have a new way to try hot dogs!

I think it's interesting that all ethnic cultures have some kind of fermented veggies and foods. 

I like eating sauerkraut on hot dogs and also cooked with sausages and red potatoes and carrots.
When I was young, the "gourmet" hotdogs were topped with hotdog chili and coleslaw.  Add mustard, onions and some pickles on the side, and the customer was in hog heaven!

We used to cook pans of cornbread with hotdogs cut in half and lying on top as it cooked.  We also loved Pigs in a Blanket using Pillsbury biscuits.  Then there's beanie weenies.

Everyone who sold hotdogs in every town and state had their own "special" way to serve hotdogs.  I guess it was one way to give people what they liked while differentiating from the competition. 

I'm never surprised to see a new "weird" way someone serves hotdogs.

National Vanilla Ice cream day

Is that just regular Vanilla, or does it include French & Vanilla Bean, too?

It's possible to have a variety of flavors even if you only eat Vanilla ice cream!   :thumbsup: :geekdanc:

As luck would have it, one of my favorite desserts is a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a generous topping of fresh diced mangoes.
It pairs well.

It has to be the red hot dog,
And the red pickle mango.
Also  the jar of lemon under the sink and on the roof, in the back of the house, so no kakaroach,.

Your problem is you didn't drink the whole bottle.  Much easier to keep track that way!   :geekdanc: :shaka:

Worm? This isn't high-school. Mescal is gutter tequila. Find a nice Reposado. There are really good budget tequilas that are much better than over priced Patron.

The Kirkland brand tequila is actually pretty smooth.  I like it better than most national brands, and the price is better, too.

According to this article, though, the Kirkland branded tequila has been on a downtrend in quality recently.  Still, taste is an individual thing.
