Meals — Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:59:59 -0500

Two delicious Sabrett-style, natural casing hotdogs with their special chilli, which is more like a spicy onion relish really. I like it with a bit of mustard and wash it down with a Lime Rickey (Lime soda with grenadine-not the same as a Shirley Temple; much better). Boulevard drinks is, without a doubt, the best hotdog restaurant in Jersey City. (Read on Source)

Sourdough culture question: differing cultures

Pattyfermenty — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 11:57:07 +0000

Let's say that I have a "special" culture, from Egypt or something, purchased from Sourdo.com. For months I feed it with King Arthur AP flour.
