What Doesn't Taste Good Grilled?

Tonight we were having grilled hot dogs for dinner.

My wife was making a broccoli salad to go with it, so we fried up some bacon for the salad (any salad with bacon in it is a good idea in my book).


As I was standing there, thinking about hot dogs and bacon, an idea struck me...

...what if bacon + hot dog...?

Yes, I did - with the help of some toothpicks.

Look at it there, the king of the grill. The other hot dogs are ashamed to be so naked in its presence.

What's that? You don't think a normal bun will lend it the air of distinction it deserves?

Hmm, you could be on to something. It's a good thing I have this butter and this grill...

Now, there's nothing shameful about that bun, is there?

Add some barbeque sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's, if you please) and mustard to the top and I think that'll do it

Yeah, that'll make em jealous for sure.

Eat your heart out, kid.

The Bakery Strikes Back

I haven't really been holding out on you. I really haven't done anything very interesting or nerdy. I have spent a lot of time working in my backyard, but it's all been pulling weeds and digging holes - not very photogenic. But I did make this loaf of bread.

I used the recipe in the comments of my last post and I didn't let it rise too much. I baked it at 350F for 30 minutes and, I flatter myself, it turned out awesome! It's nice and soft and slices very easily. I ended up slicing the whole thing and storing it in an old bread bag. It tastes good too. I win.
