Around 10am today, Shane called from work to discuss dinner:
Shane: “I was thinking we should have hot dogs tonight.”
Nina (me): “Okay, with buns?”
S: “Yes, that would be nice.”
N: “I don’t know which ones are the hot dogs.”
S: “It says ‘Hot Dog Buns’ on the bag.”
N: “Not the buns. There are two kinds of meat in the fridge that are hot dog shaped, I don’t know which are the hot dogs.”
S: “They’re really long ones.”
N: “I’m assuming you’ll also want oven fries?”
S: “Yup”
The hot dogs were from Saturday’s trip to the Empire Market, the oven fries were the ones we always make. I had an arugula and radicchio salad topped with cilantro olive oil cannellini beans. T’was a good meal.
Those look like some fine dogs! All beef? Foot long? Mustard? Relish? Shane, Nina, the world must know!
They’re all-beef, homemade frankfurters, 9″ long. Shane says “they’re so good, they taste like dessert.” We’ll bring some next time we see you.
Wow, those are some long ass dogs. So what are the other hot dog shaped objects? also: on sunday i made a salad that i cant’ stop thinking about and was similiar – i made a vinaigrette with shallots, meyer lemon, fresh thyme and olive oil and tossed a can of garbanzo beans in (rinsed and drianed) and le thtem steep together for a while and then tossed all that with chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes and goat feta. yum. i ate it for two days and kept thinking of you.
:)
boy, i really need to spell check before i press send.
The other hot dog shaped things are “Spicy I don’t know whats.” (According to Shane). That salad sounds amazing.
