…is that you can eat it with your four-year-old!
My friend Sonja sent me a link this morning to a picture of these hot dogs, which were stuck with dry spaghetti when cold, and then boiled to create these completely awesome Cthulhu-squid-spaghetti monster dogs.
You can find the original post on Livejournal, where the guy who posted the photo says:
…..we tentatively call “hot dogs strikes back”. it is primarily made by inserting dried spaghetti into the hot dogs and then boiling the resulting concoctions. it is fun to make and fun to eat for the whole family and the variations seem endless.
You know what my first thought was? TOFU DOGS! Those things need some sprucing up. Whaddya say? I’m going to put them on my shopping list.
At dinner tonight, the kids didn’t want to eat their green beans. Admittedly they weren’t the best beans, they were from one of those microwave steam packs that seem to work great with corn but not so great with other vegetables. Still, it was either that or having nothing with our Orange Chicken (Trader Joes!) and rice, and I couldn’t abide the idea of Meat and Starch for dinner. Let’s have some real nutrition.
Miles tried his, and rejected them. Beth tore a bean in half and munched, eyes upward, thinking carefully. After a few moments I said, “What do you think?”
“It doesn’t taste good,” she replied.
Greg looked at her seriously, and said, “Does it taste like dirt, or grass?”
Beth was perplexed at the question, and I imagine my laughter as well.
