7 pounds!
It’s Wiener Wednesday and I am writing this from the comfort of my own couch, in my pajamas, watching the new Ricki Lake show–I just watched someone get a 20 minute boob job–amazing! It’s a snow day here, although there is no snow. Baltimore is in the pink part of the radar map.
I don’t have a franky dish for you–I was too busy baking the mega-cake known as Othello–but I do have an awesome video from the UK, sent to me by Silver Screen Suppers. Description:
The longest hot dog in the world presented and eaten by Spike Milligan and Barbara Allen (Miss Mustard) in Lincoln’s Inn Fields.

And I also have a story. Last night I went to one of my favorite Baltimore watering holes, The Drinkery (Think “Cheers:” where everybody knows you’re gay!) So I was there knocking back some Coors Light (because I like crappy light beer) when the decision was made to go across the street and grab a pizza–with Ranch, of course. I’m from Pittsburgh and that’s how we roll.
Anyway, I had a couple slices. The bartender offered to take away the box. There was one piece left–and hell no! I’m not wasting perfectly good Supreme pizza–so I grabbed it and put it on my plate. As I did so he said to me, “I tell my daughters that no one will marry you if you’re fat.”
Um, yeah. Totally. I asked him how old his daughters were–14 and 17.
*Sigh* Sometimes I really hate people.
Yes. Because me not ever getting married is not because I’m fat or not fat. It’s because I am a neurotic hot mess. So there.
Truth be told, after the bartender threw all that shade, I did put down the pizza. But that didn’t stop me from having a huge piece of Othello Cake when I got home.
Enjoy the rest of your snow day–if you have one. Me, I’m gonna go watch J.R. Ewing die on Dallas. Bummer.
Dad of the year award right here! What a fantastic thing to say to teenage girls. It’s not as though they’re not totally screwed up at that age already. Anyway…
I’ve never tried pizza with ranch dressing but it’s one of Paul’s favorite combinations. Does sound yummy now that I think about it, though.
Ranch is the best on pizza. Try it you will like it!
Off the topic of hotdogs and such.
I found your website because I was tryingto find one of the recipes from the green box. (yes I have it – probably since 1972). I was looking for the Lamb and Eggplant Bake recipe. It is one of the recipes that I have made many times (I actually had to laminate the card because it was looking a bit “used”). I went through your entire list and did not find it – but finally found it stuck in one of my cookbooks. It is actually pretty good. Sort of like Moussaka. I was surprised you had not yet tried it. (I am guessing an eggplant hater.) Be brave and give it a go. You may be surprised.
Sandy,
I am making them all! It’s just a matter of time and what ingredients I have on hand. This one will happen in the next few months. It is a card that I was looking forward to so I am happy to hear you say that it is pretty good.
wow, pizza guy is a jerk. The hot dog looks too familiar for comfort.
wow. what an asshat. Sounds like his daughters will never get married because their dad is a douche! On another note, the 7 pound hot dog freaks me out a little. Tube meat should never be 7lbs……it scares me!
I am flat-out scared of the hot dog.
I feel like you HAVE to be scared of that hot dog. Not being in fear of it isn’t an option. I bet if they tried serving that at a hot dog eating contest, they would have few, if any contestants!
Wow, what an ass
Ummmm, yeah. That’s a contender for biggest dick.
You should remind him that no one will marry his daughters because they’re stupid and annoying.
I’m just guessing, because their dad is a douche.
