holy corn dogs
I must be more Texan than I think, as this blog here pretty makes me drool constantly. Damn Stacey and her torture food links!
In particular, we (well, probably mostly me) talk or think about corn dogs regularly here. And I know we all in general talk about condiments. And what shows up but a blog posting to making homemade corn dogs! We actually sort of have hotdogs in Khovd right now – they live on a shelf in a local store in cans, and they’re from Germany. I have the cornmeal too, so…this may just have to happen. If not, at the very least the next time (if ever) we have a deep-fry-a-thon this will definitely have to make it on the list. Along with a repeat of fried pies (also on the aforementioned blog).
Nothing says quality blog, btw, like an entry entitled “How to render lard.” A site after my own heart.
Meanwhile, supposedly we’re to have a power outage from tomorrow until Sunday. Not really a big deal, but it means I’ll need to use up all the remaining frozen meat in my fridge. I also got to drink some unexpectedly nice “rare” Borgio beer today. It came from Uvs and they don’t get it to Khovd. Its big innovation? 1-liter plastic bottle.

Some other tasty, though not particularly Texican (there is one tamale-related recipe), dishes: http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2008/oct/15/stretch-the-dollar-further/

Heh, the recipes don’t look bad, but I wish she’d gone up to $15 or something. Pretty much all of the ingredients use prepared/not so great for you-type ingredients, hence why some of the servings’ nutritional breakdowns are close to a Big Mac, which is probably close to $10 for a family of four if you each get em one.
The comment there someone made about beans would’ve been a great starting point for those $10 dishes. After college when I didn’t have money buying a 50-cent can of beans would provide me at least two meals since they’re so dense.
