Watch: Runaway emus found miles from home in Minnesota

Yahoo3 days ago
July 2 (UPI) -- A pair of emus escaped from their home at a Minnesota farm during a storm and turned up several miles from home.
Tom Halek said his emus, Sami and Ali, escaped from a partially-open gate on his Rush City property during weekend storms.
"I figured the way they can move, who knows where they'd end up," Halek told CBS Minnesota.
The emus were spotted near Rush Lake Road on Sunday before wandering miles from home and ending up in Chisago County.
"Calling all Emu owners... We did make calls to Liberty Mutual Insurance, this is not their LiMu Emu. It also isn't Kevin from the popular movie, Up, we verified that by calling Doug. So if you happen to know the owner of this Emu, please have them reach out to dispatch to let us know," the Chisago County Sheriff's Office said on social media.
Halek contacted the sheriff's office and learned the birds had been safely contained.
"The sheriff called us back and said, 'We know where they're at.'" Halek said. "Somebody else in the area that owns emus also thought they were his, so he ran and he captured them, brought them home and he realized 'Wait a minute, these aren't mine.'"
Halek said Sami and Ali are a little spooked from their time on the loose, but otherwise healthy and unharmed.

The Rule-Breaking Trick for Making Hot Dogs Taste Ridiculously Good (Everyone Devours Them)

Hot dog 'burnt ends' are the kind of cookout recipe that makes everyone do a double take (in the best way!). If you've had brisket burnt ends or pork belly burnt ends, this recipe takes that smoky, caramelized, saucy idea and makes it faster, easier, and way more affordable. All-beef hot dogs are lightly coated in yellow mustard and barbecue rub, smoked low and slow until they take on a smoky flavor, then finished with butter, brown sugar, and barbecue sauce so they caramelize into sticky, smoky bites. They're sweet, savory, and totally irresistible. After smoking the hot dogs, you crank the heat and make a rich glaze of butter, brown sugar, and barbecue sauce. The sauce gets thick and sticky, kind of like candied barbecue. I love throwing these on the smoker (or grill) while I've already got something else going, like smoked ribs or pulled pork. They're perfect for nibbling while the main event finishes up. Serve them on toothpicks as an appetizer or pile them in Hawaiian rolls with sliced onions and pickles like sliders. The sweet and smoky combo pairs well with all the usual cookout favorites, and they reheat well if you want to make them ahead of time. If you've never smoked hot dogs before, this is the gateway recipe that'll have you doing it all summer long. Prep the hot dogs. Toss 16 all-beef hot dogs in 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of barbecue rub until they're evenly coated. Smoke the hot dogs. Arrange them directly on the grill grates and smoke for 1 hour at 225°F. Cut the hot dogs and transfer to a foil pan. Cut the hot dogs into 1 1/2-inch pieces and transfer them to a foil pan. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1/4 cup light or dark brown sugar, and 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Finish cooking. Increase the heat to 375°F and cook for another 20 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the glaze is thick and sticky. Using a gas grill? Make a smoker pouch by wrapping a handful of wood chips in foil and poking a few holes on the top. Set it over a burner to get that smoky flavor. No grill or smoker? Roast the hot dogs on a sheet pan, then finish in a baking dish with the glaze.
