I don't keep things like that in the house because I'll eat it.

My go to smoked ham & havarti sandwiches for lunch.

I didn't know that about the English Muffins...
The bagel sandwiches are ok too... reason for the recent Sausage & Egg McMuffin outing was because they were on promo at the nearby McDs.

I just saw that as a typo during quoting...

Avocado toast using sourdough baguette.

Woke up dreaming of Madeleines, so ...

attempted a spicy fish & tofu stew (with white rice) for my luncheon but I need to get true dried red hot peppers. It was good but I feel zero spice and effects despite the tsp of szechuan peppercorns, which just might not be effective peppercorns as I bought them at a farmers market and not a supermarket.

Maybe I should consider... do you use beef hot dogs or other brands/types of beef sausage?
i used to go to Appleton / Ft Atkinson a lot in WI plus lake Geneva and Hayward. Where in WI did you live? I love visiting that state.

Those are passion fruit, yes? I sort of forgot, as I last saw one at a Taipei buffet in 2001, then on TV I saw Mr Pussy eating one during his supper with Charlotte York.

Beautiful. I love Madeleines. A friend used to make some with lavander and also lemon zest.

If a whole teaspoon didn't do it for you, maybe you should switch to a different type of pepper. I know some peppercorns are more fruity than pure heat. Experiment with other types or even a hot sauce if you are not getting the effect from the actual peppercorn. You must have an asbestos mouth.
I too put the cheese on the bottom of the bun before the dog. Use whatever kind of hot dog you prefer.
ETA: Gaobest--I was curious so I googled. Szechuan peppercorns are actually not supposed to be hot! They are there for the flavor. I suggest that you use them for the flavor but use another kind of pepper as well or a hot sauce.

Thank you. These were with lemon zest.

awww thank you - Szechuan peppercorns are supposed to have this insane intense mouth tingling effect. That�s the mega joy. So I have to try the store-bought jar and see how it goes... sigh.

I was browsing Benne, a Sf restaurant kit partner that has nice meals for pickup in certain parts of Sf. Nari is part of their group (which includes Nopalito and pizza Delfina).

tingling---yes. But not necessarily heat & I think that is what you were looking for. You could use both in one dish...the szechuan & a hotter pepper.

oops - I should have mentioned that I didn�t get any mouth numbing tingle with my luncheon today. So sad!! Ugh. When I reheat the leftovers, I�m going to use the store-bought Szechuan peppercorns and see if it has an effect. Mega sigh.

I believe it's the way they prep them, because when I worked for them in the 80's and 90's, we had a special toaster only for the English Muffins, now I believe they use the same drop toaster as they do for the other Buns which just carmelizes the sides. That is why Big Mac's middle bun is now only toasted on one side. They had a special toaster for those as well.

He did say that in a subsequent post.

As you'd probably guess, here in IL it's usually Vienna Beef hot dogs!
I grew up in the Green Bay area.

I used to go to lunch at the Vienna Factory store and cafe (now closed ) on Damen Ave, for a corned beef sandwich. But, since it was right by the Costco, which served Vienna, if I wanted a hot dog, it was cheaper to get Vienna hot dog at Costco!

Lunch today is chicken marinated in buttermilk, pan-fried, topped with a cranberry sauce, and served with oven-roasted brussels sprouts with cranberries and apples.
