Hot Diggety Dog


I don't know what made us do it.
It just happened.
We decided to do a hot dog a week this summer.
I'm all about easy.
I can do this.
 
We did *Carolina* for the first one.
It included chili, slaw, onions.
The slaw was terrible, so the hot dog wasn't that great.
I wouldn't do this one again.
We had these on a Sunday.
With company.
But it was family, so if they didn't like them,
sorry.
Sorry I'm not sorry.
 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The second one was the *Cowboy*.
I had James grill the hot dogs.
I think I bought some with jalapeno peppers in them. 
This recipe called for M.J. cheese, fried bacon pieces,
onions and mushrooms.
All fried in Worcestershire sauce.
 


When I think of cowboys, I don't think of mushrooms.
When I think of mushrooms, I don't think about cowboys.
 


I thought they would be good on these *cowboy* plates.
We ate these by ourselves.
Initially.
Another family people person had one.
They weren't impressed, but they had manners.
 

 
 
 
Mine doesn't have cheese.
Cheese and I don't get along anymore.
 

OK, I probably wouldn't do this one again either.
Are you wondering if this is all worth it?
They don't taste horrible, they just aren't what we
call a *keeper*.

This one is the Corny-Dog.
It's not what you're thinking though.
You're thinking CORN dog.
This one was corny.
I bought all beef, bun length, Oscar Meyer hot dogs.
They didn't need grilled, they were yum-city without it.
I just fried them up in the black skillet.
 


We had company.
More family, with manners.
Only this one was different.
 

 
It was honestly good.
Just sort of a cold relish made from:
corn, jalapeno, dill relish, celery salt.
 

I spent about the same $$ on the buns as I did the hot dogs.
I really struggle with white, store brand, buns.
These were really good.
I may be hooked.
 

 
These were cheese and tomato free.
These climbed to the top as #1.
 

Since our Summer like weather can last clear to the end of October,
I'll probably keep this up until then.
Pretty soon, I'll be a hot-dog-snob.

What a great idea - hot dogs every week! And with your great sense of humor, this just may be have potential for an all-out Reality Show, thrusting you and your mannered guests into a lucrative contract and cushy future!

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
