Well I have finally played the mandolin wrong and lost a bit of myself. It's been a couple weeks and I'm getting better at cooking one handed. Don't worry it's just the tip of my pointer. Here is some food I've made or ate one handed.

What's been tripping your trigger lately?

Update: learned a lot did go with Kikkoman 1.25 L at woodmen's. Will probably do Thao Brothers Market, LLC next time if I don't need a 5 gal. 😂

I use soy sauce all the time and I'm wondering where I can get the largest container full of soy sauce extra points if you have flavor preferences.

A delicious fundraiser by La Crosse Youth & Learning Center.

Went to the The Naughty Doner Co. (181 Snelling Ave N, St Paul, MN 55104) . I got the German pita your choice of protein, fries, garlic sauce, lettuce, tomato & cucumber, sumac onions, purple cabbage, wrapped in a warm pita.

The flavors on this were unmatched. The red cabbage added a pop I didn't know it needed also the sauces were amazing. They had a spicy ketchup that is something that should exist everywhere. There's texture and way less sweet, just right!

Best döner I've ever had check them out next time you're in Saint Paul!

Lil post fest spread this am! Tried to have a lil bit of everything. Garlic nan, scallion pancakes, fried rice, bacon, hasbrowns, and fresh monster cookies.

Hope you all had a good weekend! Any food highlights? I saw a lot of grilling along the parade route.

Just ate at Buzzard Billys La Crosse. They have a killer Monday burger special any burger, fries, & a fountain drink for $10.99. Includes all beef burgers and our vegetarian Black Bean Chipotle Burger. I got the jalapeno popper Burger and of course had to get my lacrosse favorite ranch there and drizzle it atop to offer a cool blanket to the light spice of the jalapeno.

I think a lot of people have great memories at buzzardbillies and continuously make more. I'm always happy to be back within their walls.

Went to Taste of Madison this last weekend and it was quite the cacophony of flavors. I felt like I was in my element but the only tragedy is the capacity of my belly. This is a perfect set up dishes are 5-8$ small enough to try a lot. Money goes to lots of non-profits in the state. Last year they raised around 90k and a bunch of money went back to the 90 ish mom and pop shops that make the whole thing so amazing.

I gotta make a point to get there again next year. Was a grand time!

Day 3 before leaving, we hit up Trader Joe's and Boxcar Hippie lime chicken was quite nice I did Cali style so there's fries in there as well. Nice lil outdoor space they share with hot chip. Please get the chips there, they are very good!

Fully intend to hit up Old Abe & Co. Next time. I made some more friends up here so I gotta be back!
