Oh odd! There must have been a NY transplant who wanted to open some there :) They are yummy and have Udi's rolls for us gluten free folks.

They are actually only in NY (several locations) and the one store in Tempe, AZ, which is where I grew up! Small world! :)

You can get a pretty big vat of it at Costco too. We buy the double pack and the bottles are 680mL each.

Totally forgot about Costco! When we had a membership, we got the double pack as well and it lasted AGES (well, until our friend went to use it at a BBQ and dropped the second bottle!)
My, how time flies....

Attention Waitrose shoppers!  ;)

Those really good Bavarian frankfurters are on offer this week for £2.50 instead of the usual £3-something.

The weather (at least down here) is meant to be perfect for BBQing as well... :D

haha he's probably my husband's closest friend so he got a free pass. And he was probably more upset about it than we were LOL He was properly like "OH NO!! I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!?" and then he cleaned it up. I was like dude...it's not the end of the world..it's hot sauce and I can buy more! haha He loves the stuff so he took dropping it as a serious offence! hahaha

Sold out on Ocado when I did our shop last night. Along with the good popsicles I wanted. And the good brioche buns.

I did stop at the German deli on the way home last night and got two packages of proper franks and a package of brats so we are sausaged up here for the weekend. Like hell I am turning on an oven/stove in the next week. Grill all that, some steak, and some chicken this weekend and make some side salads and we should be good.

I hear the sun is out so I'm with x0Kiss, get grilling!

I'm Texan and I grill in all months because it's just part of my DNA. I used to do New Years Eve Fajita Fest when I lived in northern England. I just put a canopy over the grill. It snowed twice but it was still a good night.

Enjoy your sun!

In Wisconsin its not winter without at LEAST one winter brat fry. Preferably in late Jan, early Feb. I fully expect to grill here through the year.

Man, we just went and bought another, more powerful fan this afternoon and it kicked up a cloud of cat hair in the living room :/

Cover it in Hummus and I might eat it if there's no real hot dogs around.

I'm just being polite in the hopes that you will send me a beer. 

That recipe is not for a "Carrot hot dog", it's just a carrot!  The only similarity it has with a hot dog is that it's long and orange.  Don't be fooled!

Found some sausages called "smoked hot dogs" in Co-op. They're obviously not quite like hotdogs, but they're not bad.
