I too LOVE chili dogs!
Fifty yeard ago i lived in Vienna, Va and there was a little place called the Vienna Inn. Their menu was almost exclusively chili cheese dogs and Budweiser draft. The owner told me that one year they sold more dogs and more Budweiser draft than Yankee stadium. He had a plaque from AB to back up half that story. Its still there and his Culinary Institute of America trained son is still selling copious quantities of dogs snd draft.
They can even do them WV style !!

Where we used to live, there was a little restaurant that sold Chicago hot dogs. He got the dogs, pickles, and buns delivered from Chicago and they were unbelievable. Had a little hot pepper in them and amazing sesame seed buns. They were my most favorite hot dogs ever. Now we just eat the Costco 1/4 pound dogs and soda for $1.50

The "girls" waiting table make up their own dog orders and deliver them by they tray full. Place used to be totally packed from mid-morning to closing.
Another interesting tradition. You dont get a check - you go to the cash register and tell them what you had. Mike used to ring it up on an old manual wooden register with popup tombstone numbers and kept the sales tax in a beatup tackle box so it would never touch his money

That's something i could forever stand by! Wish we could go back to that with several things throughout life.
I've always loved costco's hot and ready deals. You just can't beat those prices for nothing.Where we used to live, there was a little restaurant that sold Chicago hot dogs.

My oldest always trys to act a fool when the wife takes them, usually once a month or so.
He'll get a couple of those chicken bake things (with his own money that our neighbors pay him for various chores) and try to conserve them throughout the week lol.
The boy is just like me! LOVES food!!!
It's taco night!
Forgive me for the sloppy presentation. I usually make about 25+ tacos at a time to feed everybody.... I was rushin', I got quickly behind tonight and it got quite out of hand LOL!
Simmered some meat, standard taco ingredients and seasonings. Made some guac, a pretty decent sauce, with all the standard toppings, plus some dressed up refried beans.... but I promise y'all, the taste was spot on!
And now time for the best part..... Some of that super messy nanner' puddin'

How's about we take a $2 dish that takes about 5 minutes to make, and turn it into a $55 dish that takes 5-6 hours LOL.......
My children know nothing about what it's like to live off of .10 noodle packs..... brings me back to my apartment days. After paying normal bills, my tool man, and set aside enough gas money to survive until the next friday, a guy wouldn't even have enough to go buy himself a cheeseburger.
My amazing mother would bring me care packages filled with ramen noodles, tuna, saltine crackers, and the occasional dozen eggs. Man do I sure miss that woman!

I still have never tried kimchi. I see it more and more throughout various dishes and cooking shows. I need to expand my horizons and give it a shot.
Kimchi comes in many different formulations some of which are deadly and I am a wimp. Cabbage , chives, and green onions only please. Friday was my first time in the local Hmart in almost a year and I stocked up on a bunch of stuff. The kimchi section is huge and you can buy gallon plus buckets of the stuff. I was working blind and opted for a small tray of "country style" just to be safe. Surprisingly it was only mildly hot and I wound up finishing it off in 3 days. That plate of bulgogi was the last of if. I cant imagine any Koreans touching something that bland.
Store bought fermented veggies is probably on the list if foods I should "avoid" but I figure no bug can survive in those spices

Saw it recently at an Amish grocery and passed it up, guessing it wasn’t a good example of the product….
Getting a cake ready for dinner at the pastor's house tonight.
Time to let these puppies cool for a while, then we'll get some icing going.

Chicken Saltimbocca
White Wine Butter Sauce
I did not have any prosciutto or veal but I did have some some super thin country ham and chicken cutlets in the fridge so I guess that makes this saltimbocca "West Virginia style". Start to finish and plated up in the time it took to cook the linguine.White Wine Butter Sauce

Ole lady wanted a roast for tonight's dinner.
So yesterday I'm roaming through Kroger and right next to the roasts they had a pre smoked and seasoned pork shoulder looking thing. 2.1lbs for 10 bucks! Grabbed 2 of them and gave them the normal roast treatment. Came out pretty dang good!
