Would it horrify you to learn that we didn’t heat up jarred marinara growing up?
We’d been using English muffins instead of hamburger buns for years. Then got a shrimp slider recipe that suggested brioche slider buns but I think for full size burgers I want to go back to E. muffins (toasted).

English muffins are great vehicles for sandwiches. The nooks and crannies capture all the juices dripping down from the meats and filling. There was a great Portuguese burger place in Midtown Manhattan in the late 90s early 2000s that had a great burger served on English muffins. My friend and I were convinced this was going to be the new big thing. We were wrong.

Chạo Tôm (Sugarcane Shrimp)
Wild Patagonia Red Shrimp from Dry Dock Fish Co. They come shelled, cleaned and site-frozen, not treated, no poly-whatevers - so easy for dishes like this. The dipping sauce is Peanut-Coconut Nuoc Cham from a Red Boat “Phamily” recipe.

Thanks @hppzz! They turned out really well but next time I’d use lower heat for a more golden color.

Try brushing on some annato oil as you grill for that color

Thanks @hppzz!
You always have the good tips. Do you make it with the achiote paste or the seeds?

I’d never heard of blue.
What does blue grits taste like?
Heirloom Sea Island blue corn infuses these grits with a deep indigo color. The flavor is nutty, yet delicate, which doesn’t lend itself well to heavy cheeses, gravies and creams. Opt for a simple pat of butter and a pinch of salt instead.

You’ve heard of blue corn. It’s just grits instead of tortillas or chips.
I spent the first 25+ years of my life in the South. Not eating tortillas. Not eating (corn) chips. Eating grits regularly. I never ate blue grits. I never saw them. I never heard of them. That’s why I looked them up. Sound interesting. With the right meal.
Happy now?
You never looked at the tortilla chips section of Trader Joe’s in the past 30 years?

I moved to SF in 76 and TJs opened in NorCal in 88.
When did Trader Joe’s Open in Northern California?
1967 : The first Trader Joe’s opened its doors in Pasadena, California. Still there today - same spot, same parking lot. 1988 : We took our first big leap outside of Southern California into Northern California where we opened a store in the city of San Rafael.Jan 29, 2020
