Hokkaido Corndog?

A musubi/bento shop in the neighborhood. The Mouse occasionally picks up an ume (pickled plum) musubi “sandwich”. On the counter are a couple of corn dogs labeled “Hokkaido” corndog. A “normal” corndog sprinkled with sugar. The was skeptical but willing to try try.

Ume Musubi, Hokkaido Corndog

The shop makes musubi more like rice sandwiches. Hee hee.

So, The Hokkaido corndog was okay, a little too sweet for The Mouse. If buy again, The Mouse would compliment the sugar with a light sprinkle of Korean red chili pepper powder (Gochugaru?), fine ground. Add a bit of color and small amount of heat. 🙂

Be safe, eat good.

Hot Dog Day

Yesterday was a lazy day. Stayed in.

Brunch.

Dry-Fried Hot Dog, Bun

The last of the hot dog sized buns. Two hot dogs left. Number of buns and hot dogs rarely match up. Sigh.

Dinner.

Instant Ramen

In anticipation of the extra hot dogs, The Mouse bought a package of fried fishcake. Half a package of instant noodles, wakame seaweed, lima beans, carrots, hot dog, fishcake, no powdered soup base, much less salt. 🙂

Be safe, eat good.

Oh yeah, Happy Halloween, if you celebrate.

“Tetris” Hot Dog Sandwich

Hot dogs and hamburgers, fitting meat to bread is difficult. Even MickyD is not perfect.

The Mouse’s lunch.

Lunch Plate

Hot dog sandwich, Kewpie mayonnaise, Bulldog sauce, sandwich roll, roasted sweet potato. Meat fits bread. 🙂

Be safe, eat good.

Not Costco

The Mouse likes the hot dog and soda from Costco. Sometimes though the hot dog is a little too much for The Mouse.

The Mouse has some long rolls at home, picked up a package of “bun length” hot dogs from the grocery store. Split down the middle, dry-pan heated.

Green Plate

Hot dog, Kewpie mayonnaise, Bulldog sauce, apple, banana. Smaller hot dog than Costco, just the right sized. 🙂

Be safe, eat good.

Hot Dog Croissant?

Discount rack at the neighborhood grocery store. Since The Mouse didn’t buy a hot dog at Costco the last visit, hee hee.

Hot Dog Croissant

Croissant pastry wrapped around a hot dog. Not gourmet, not pretty, but tasty. Happy mouse. 🙂

If The Mouse is lucky enough to find more of these hot dog croissants on the discount shelf, timing is everything, a repeat purchase is

Otherwise, not much happening in the kitchen. The Mouse made another batch of tonic soup for The Cat’s late-night office meals.

Stay safe and well.
