OK, I’m a crazy person.
AN ABSOLUTE CRAZY PERSON!
It is just now, JUST NOW! As I am writing this goddamned post that I realize that in 2021 I ALREADY MADE THIS DINNER!!!
And I do not have another hot dog dish to offer for the first Wiener Wednesday of 2023.
So this is an epic fail. And, to be honest, very embarrassing. I mean, am I at the point in this thing where I have absolutely NO RECOLLECTION of what has and hasn’t happened in the world of Dinner is Served 1972?
Is this perimenopausal brain fog? Early on-set dementia? What is that other thing called–wet brain?
HOWEVER! Back when I made Deviled Hot Dogs in 2021—it looked like this:
And the card looks like this:
And now to this week’s Deviled Hot Dogs:
And now back at the original card:
So, it was worth a do-over.
I didn’t recognize the name, but as soon as I saw the card, I thought I remembered that you had made it already.
Honestly, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have remembered it either. And I think your second attempt looks more like the original recipe card photo. So yes, it was worth a redo, because who doesn’t like spicy, deviled dogs?!
Thank you for making me feel like the re-do was worthwhile!
Welcome to my “old fart” world of repeating yourself! Truthfully, I did not recall your earlier foray into deviled hot dogs until you mentioned it, so I think it’s been long enough to give the recipe another try. How were they this time? Those cherry parfaits look pretty good too.
They were fine–kinda meh. The cherry parfaits were good—would have been much better if I had used the full fat/sugar versions of the pudding and the pie filling–but still good.
It is sooo easy to redo something and not even realize it when you’ve had the blog a long time. I know there have been times when I’ve worked on a post for a recipe and then it dawned on me that I’d already featured it. I also discovered that I posted overviews of the same book (The Kraft Cookbook: 75 Years of Good Food Ideas) twice– though luckily, I chose to feature and entirely different set of recipes the second time around. I’m willing to bet there are other overlaps I haven’t picked up on, so you’re not alone in having trouble remembering what you’ve already covered.
I don’t feel as bad now!
