A new way to eat hot dogs

I have a confession to make. I do not like hot dog buns. I do not like mustard. I do not like ketchup. I do not like pickle relish. I do not like them, Sam I Am.

Joking aside, what I really love is some lovely French baguette or some fresh italian bread with a bratwurst or any sausage, with mayonaise! I know, that is very European and not very American, but that is what I love. Besides, where do you think American cuisine somes from?(And in matters of food, I generally do prefer the European tastes.)

Today, I had some hotdogs, that I had saved in the freezer. And today, I wanted them. I get these weird cravings and ideas sometimes. I put flavors together that might not neccessarily occur to everybody. No, I am not pregnant. I wanted meat of some kind, because I can not often afford it.

But I had no bread left and not much mayonaise. Besides, I wanted vegetables too. I wanted rice! I wanted something...sizzling!

You guessed it. I chopped up the hot dogs, threw them in the frying pan with some butter. Sizzle sizzle sizzle. I chopped up some broccoli, celery and carrots that a friend gave me. Sizzle pop pop. Then I took about a cup of rice, leftover from the night before, from the fridge, and scooped that in too. When it was all hot, I added some fage and just the faintest smidge of seasoned salt.

I am eating it now, and let me tell you...This is delicious.
