This classic A&J is from five years ago, 2012. I’d like to take credit for pioneering bathroom humor in the newspaper comics—I should stress bathtub humor—but I can’t. No feature has explored the disrupted bathing experience longer or more often than that storied and staid grand dame of the funnies, Blondie.

Slice the hotdog real thin (we have always called ’em pennies) and throw them in the Mac n Cheese. If you must insist on greens throw in a handful of frozen peas while cooking.
“…frozen peas…”!?
Well, at least that’s not as bad as when a NYT food editor opined a couple of years ago that green peas belonged in guacamole. That was *so* New York Times. And likely p.o.’d many more Texans than even the Times’ opinion of our current President has.
Jackie just caught me looking at an on-line ad for a pair of “tactical” boots. “Getting ready for the Nudist Apocalypse?” she asked.
“Yep,” I said. “I can kick the walking nudes out the door while you throw clothes at them.”
Actually, I already own a pair (or two) of them. 🙂
Ghost, Jackie will be ready for the Nudist Apocalypse provided they are all not over 5 feet tall. After all, she is vertically challenged and horizontally blessed. Anyone taller, she’ll have to throw bed sheets and blankets to them to cover up.
BTW, Grevy and gravy are pronounced alike. Grevy zebra’s are named after some white guy. Have to do a search to learn why. That giraffe you may have seen briefly before the site went to ‘livecam highlights’ was a reticulated, my fave.
Peace,
Elaine’s mac & chs. was a meal: shredded sharp cheddar, onions, green pepper, diced tomatoes, zucc. if any were handy. Peace,
I once made Martha Stewart’s macaroni and cheese from her magazine I think? Mike had heard it on NPR I believe.
The cheese alone cost over $50!
It was one time event but made a bunch of lunch.
Can’t beat emb’s M&C
I do use peas or French cut green bean. Sometimes Onions
Spam or dogs.
Most nutritious dogs are the cheapest, they have the most Soy Beans.
(I did not say tastiest) I chop them and saute in Soy Sauce.
B’ugs Debbe & Mizz Charlotte
OB: Can’t remember; have you actually tasted it? Peace,
And hugs to Old Bear, and to Debbe also (are you out there, young lady?)
Frankfurters are so OFF my food list. I did smile a lot while reading a womens’ magazine in the Eye Doctor’s waiting room — summer grilling suggestions: “Haute dogs”. This idea must have been used before, but I’ve never seen it; it’s good and funny.

You describe it I can taste it.
It has not always been that way, but in the last few years I can
imagine what a combination of ingredients will taste like.
The brain is a wondrous thing.
Had M&C for supper.
Added Sharp Cheddar, Baby peas, Onion and Dogs (More like Brats)
Cooked Dogs in oven then sliced before adding.
Ghost and I ate at P.F. Chang’s late lunch, early dinner during their Happy Hour with appetizers on sale. We had a free appetizer, so ended up with calamari, ahi tuna sushi, tempura green beans and steamed pork dumplings which we shared. We had street noodles with fried prawns, delicious. We like the same kinds of food and share so not as bad as it sounds.
Appetizers were $5 and $6 from 3 to 6, plus I got a free one any price so we ordered an expensive one not on discount. Still, large generous portions.
The new stove is gorgeous. Ghost is going to cook beer bread and macaroni and cheese with bratwurst I think?
There’s some classic b. s. over in the Family Tree strip today. I enjoy that kind of stuff.
Reticulated giraffe, if it’s still there. Peace,

If we must have hot dogs I buy Hebrew National. They have better quality meat and no fillers. After all, they must answer to a Higher Authority. Otherwise it’s Johnsonville brats. And not with mac&cheese, though that does sound good. Ours are with chili and slaw. I will admit, I prefer the chili slaw dogs at the Varsity, but I can’t always bop down to Atlanta when I want one.
Zebras.

All those sites have now switched to livecam highlights. Peace,
No comments since nine this morning? Something must be wrong.
Ummm. Varsity chili slaw dogs.
We’ll be eating at the Elvis “tribute” show tonight , but we picked up the makings for baked mac & cheese, along with brats and brat buns, for tomorrow night. They will be one of the first things made on the beautiful new gas range which was installed yesterday. The very first thing will be a loaf of beer bread, in honor of my late sister who gave me the recipe. It makes wonderful French bread, so I would not be at all surprise to see some of that on the breakfast table tomorrow morning.

Oops. Looks like the range clock is on EDT instead of CDT.
If you gotta fly a looong test flight, you might as well be creative.

We are ready to get ready for the King.
When I tell people I haven’t had a hot dog since I was very small, they tell me “you should try all beef dogs” or some other brand of hot dogs. I mean I just don’t like hot dogs!
I just found out a HS classmate of mine has ALS. He was on Facebook but not very active. When I saw pictures of him today with his family he was in a wheelchair and found out that he has the disease. He recently had knee replacement surgery and was complaining about the Rehabilitation. I guess that the ALS probably had a major impact in that. I’m going to be praying for him.
