Hot dog bun week is ON!
(I’m blaming @ChristinaM though she really bears no blame other than that she posted a pic of a hot dog - which then made me crave all kinds of things that could be served on those buns, starting with… hot dogs 
)
So. tonight, I had a hot dog… AND a shrimp roll. Could have done one or the other, but a mindworm is a mindworm. (And yes, that’s ketchup.)
Hot dog was pretty darn delicious! TJ’s organic grass fed beef dog (because apparently they don’t make an organic chicken or turkey version anymore? Or are always sold out of it at my store?). Of course, 6 to a pack, and 8 buns. What’s behind this conspiracy?
Shrimp roll because I saw it somewhere yesterday. Frozen Patagonian / Argentinian red shrimp, poached very gently - in the microwave 
. Actually perfectly done - just had to use very low power. Some finely minced fennel and onion, mayo (a bit extra for me, but oh well), seasonings, squeeze of lemon to perk up the lot.
Buns griddled with some of that plentiful-at-the-moment brown butter.
And a shaved fennel salad because the fennel is gorgeous and I haven’t eaten a salad in a while.
Coming soon to bun week: more hot dogs, lobster (and maybe another shrimp) roll, pav bhaji (oh yeah, this is going to go cross-cultural), and maybe even a bulgogi sloppy joe. Sky’s the limit… well, the packet of buns is, I’m not buying another one 
Open to other obvious ideas I may have blanked on!
