Which is hilarious since I started the review saying “I always kinda liked them.” But now? Eh. The newer version is just as tart but it doesn’t start as chalky and fall-apart like the original. The sour/tart always forefront of course. Years ago these were more chalky, almost like a Razzle, and then they would come together while you were eating and become really chewy. They’re good too, but honestly they used to be better. Get em – you can pop 10 in your mouth at one time and over indulge wonderfully. They felt like an old friend only I’m not actually sure if there are other candies like this. ![]() Again, flavors aren’t the main plot line. Small, a rounder & slightly bigger tart n tiny-like puppy, these are much more sour and chewy. ![]() I should have started this review with these little ones: And because they are just enough like Laffy Taff, that I don’t care for, I put these at the bottom of the pile. They are more tart than Laffy Taffy, which is good, but I can’t give them more than an “ok”. These look like Laffy Taffy (Nestle makes those too by the way) and kinda taste like them too, though as far as I can tell there’s only one flavor (at least the 3 I tried were all red). I’d like to see them aged, with more chew. They have a soft filling, surprisingly not gross. Still, they are more tart than any other red-ropes-like candy. The flavor is more defined cherry than the other SweeTARTS red colored candies have. These are rebranded from Kazoozles, which Jonny (also) liked oh so many years ago. Starting with the Soft & Chewy ropes, which I started by not liking then changed to really liking. (I’m talking about the actual SweeTARTS on the bottom of the package picture above.) They are an OG sour candy and there’s nothing ‘tart’ about them, unlike other candies that call themselves such. ![]() Jonny said “you should do a Sweetarts throwdown” and thus this post was born. I had no idea how many there were of them. So I met a good guy who works for a company that I work with too in my other life and this guy also works with Nestle and Nestle makes Sweetarts so he sent me some. I’m like that guy on TV who tells you Jesus loves you only I’m the Jesus. What I do is stare and consider, taste and pucker, suck and chew, and swallow all those calories and fat because I love you. See, what I do is try every freaking possible Sweetart form factor so you don’t need to rot your teeth finding the one you might like best. ![]()

I kept it simple on the inside with just some standard yellow mustard and ketchup on the inside of the dough prior to wrapping. The top of the bun was egg washed and dusted with Parmesan cheese.įor this second flavor profile I used the Jalapeno Cheddar hot dog. They come 7 to a package and I figured I’d take these up a notch when grilling.įor this first one I used the Signature Seasoned hot dog with a healthy slathering of Dijon mustard on the inside of the dough prior to wrapping. I received their Signature Seasoned, the Jalapeño Cheddar and my favorite, the Slow Cooked Chili Dog. The Ball Park Park’s Finest product line launched nationally in January 2014, and most recently expanded to include two new bold varieties – Slow Cooked Chili and Jalapeno Cheddar, which are incredible. I made these to do something different, but for a grilled version of these hot dogs check out my Ball Park Park’s Finest Hot Dogs with Sriracha Catsup and all the Fixings. Brush each hot dog blanket with egg wash, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, sesame and poppy seeds. Bake until sourdough bread is puffed and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Place the Sourdough Hot Dog Wraps on a baking sheet seam side down. In a small bowl whisk together egg and half teaspoon of water. I think next time I make these I’ll load two hot dogs inside of each and with a side dish of some fresh fruit salad, call it a great lunch! I needed to mark the initials of the different flavors on the parchment paper so I knew which was which! Feel free to create your own. I’ve detailed below the three different flavor profiles that I did. Spread each with your favorite condiment, place hotdogs on top and wrap around hot dog. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut dough into eight equal portions, roll each into 8 x 5 rectangles on a lightly floured surface. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Knead on lowest speed until dough bounces back softly when pressed, about 4 minutes. To start let’s combine the sourdough starter, flour, salt, sugar and yeast in bowl of stand mixer with dough hook attachment. Add filtered water, beat on low speed for 3 minutes, adding flour as needed to reach a wet ball consistency. These uncured beef frankfurters have NO artificial preservatives and NO nitrates or nitrites added. I mean, all the fixings and condiments are all inside, no fuss, no mess! Bring these out when hiking, at the beach, or that next picnic.įor this post I’ve partnered up with Ball Park and they were kind enough to ship me some of their new frankfurters – Ball Park Park’s Finest. These are perfect for on-the-go Summer fun, too. See I didn’t want a store bought bun, and I didn’t want one flavor, so I decided to bump it up with three different flavor profiles for these wraps. This is incorporated into a new dough that needs to sit overnight to make the wraps. The sourdough craze continues here in the kitchen and for this third post in my sourdough series I’m making Sourdough Hot Dog Wraps! The sourdough starter I wrote about in a previous post, that also included Sourdough Pancakes, is needed. ![]() ![]() ![]() Only one Refill credit can be applied per account.

But it’s Smith’s ability to draw out the tragic elements of Shirley’s story, before building a portrait of resilience, that makes this performance so special. ![]() There are brilliant moments of comedy that sometimes bring the house down: Shirley’s commentary on her daughter’s generation discovering the clitoris, and her anecdote about her son’s dad-inspired ad-libbing in a school nativity play (“Full up? But we’ve booked!”). Russell captures something painfully authentic and moving in his portrait of a woman who has become so ignored that she’s lost all self-consciousness, nattering away even if no one is listening. ‘Being an older woman portraying sexuality? I literally never think about it’: Janet McTeer on Phaedra and avoiding fame.The Week on Stage: From Romeo and Julie to The Winter’s Tale.‘It feels like a healing process’: Breach Theatre on making a musical about Section 28.It’s an early contender for the best performance of the year. But the part proves to be the perfect showcase for Smith’s talents, marrying her knack for nuance with her relish for a funny line, all threaded through with her innate likability. There was a hit 1989 film adaptation, and, as a character, Shirley is easy to love, meeting life’s disappointments with wise cracks and funny stories. Russell’s warm, wistful play about a fortysomething Liverpudlian housewife who dreams of travelling the world is a proven crowd-pleaser. Smith looks so at home on stage – and with record-breaking advance box office takings and an extended 15-week run, I suspect she could take up permanent residence in the West End if she wanted to. At times, it’s as though she’s delivering a rapid-fire comedy set, at others, an elegy to missed potential. From her sly confidences right down to her comfy shoes, Smith conjures the kind of battled-hardened but optimistic woman who might live just down the street – a mother and a wife, who beneath the quips and anecdotes, is no longer quite sure who she is. ![]() It sounds like it should work, and it really, really does. Willy Russell’s 1986 one-woman play is a beloved British classic Smith is a national treasure.
