Egg-ceptional Hot Dogs
“I bought a hot dog at the deli in my local grocery store. The Styrofoam box was labeled chili with onion. Well, when I got the thing home and opened it up, I decided it wasn’t fit to eat. So, of course, I doctored it up and made it palatable. I will keep this recipe handy for when, in a moment of weakness and hunger, I buy another hard, tasteless deli dog.” – Barbara
