A lot of blog readers ask me how I have time to make dinner and also post about it. Not all dinners are that difficult to make as evidenced by last night feast. Always one of my favorites and No Thank You Boy is a big fan of this menu. When I lived in Chicago, the hotdog of choice was a Vienna hotdog. Here in NJ, it is a Nathan's hotdog. I did commit a sin and put ketchup on my hotdog but, I'm not in the Windy City anymore.
So is it a soda or pop? Back in the Midwest it is a soda. Used the ginger ale to wash done the snickerdoodles all dressed up for my favorite holiday -- the 4th of July. The key to a great cookie is to under cook it slightly. At least I made one item on the menu.
