Kasper's Hotdogs

Sometimes you just need a really good dog..

Lexie's Pumpkin Scones

with Cinnamon Spiced Glaze

My cousins have been baking up quite a storm this past weeks. Who can blame them since there's nothing like standing in front of a hot oven during fall. You get to warm up yourself and at the same time smell something really good (an a snack to eat for later).

Pumpkin, Cinnamon, and a whole bunch of spices spells for the perfect fall afternoon snack.

Costco's BBQ Beef Brisket Sandwich


What seemed like a very promising snack option from the snack bar at Costco came a bit short. As we heard of the news about the Costco in our area finally serving the BBQ Beef Brisket Sandwich, we immediately got excited and started planning out our Costco excursion. 

So after a few rounds at the sampling stations to get our appetites going, we finally made our way to the snack bar. 

Smokey, tangy, tender beef brisket topped on a bed a cool coleslaw and sandwiched in between two hamburger buns. I saw the last rather plainly since although the brisket and the coleslaw were very delicous, I was surprised that Costco would served it sandwiched in between cold bread. I mean to begin with I would have already preferred if they used a kaiser bun or even hawaiian bread since the hamburger bun seem a bit too harsh and dense for the brisket, but to be served cold?!


It was worth a try.. but I think I'd stick with my dollar-fifty hotdog sandwich..at least that one's warm..
