This holiday weekend we had my sister, her husband and kids come over for a barbecue. We had a great time! We had our annual game of catch with a softball followed by all of us showing our kart wheeling skills... I must say, I was rather impressed by every ones techniques and abilities! We gabbed for a couple of hours while we made the kids go outside and play....Muhahahahah! Adults have such power...
For our lunch I made 2 lbs of burgers and two packages of Hebrew National hot dogs. We had some wickles and kosher pickles on the side, Dave made some barbecue beans, I made a tuna pasta salad with the wickles...if you haven't tried wickles they are a fantastic pickle that's "wicked" good...their slogan is wicked good pickles, hence the name wickles. Wickles have a hot chili pepper with garlic in the jar with them. So your mouth goes through a carousel of flavors and heat with each bite...its wonderful! My sister brought 13 ears of corn, of which I successfully burnt and undercooked them all at once! The grill was literally on fire! I was so disappointed in myself. She also brought a tortellini pasta salad. Once everyone had eaten and it was time to clean up, we had a TON of hot dogs leftover! So for the next three days, guess what we ate for lunch and dinner???!!! By Monday night I didn't want to see another hot dog but that's what we had so we had to make do. I had actually run out of my non-dairy hot dog rolls so I made some biscuit dough, rolled it out and wrapped a couple of hot dogs with it. I had a heated skillet with some olive oil and cooked them up...I was pleasantly surprised! The outside of the biscuit had browned nicely and the hot dog was nice and hot. I dipped them in some honey mustard sauce along with some barbecue sauce. It was very good! Now I know how to make pigs in a blanket in a cinch. Maybe, someday, if I ever have you over for dinner and on the menu is doggy biscuits, you'll know what it is!
