Dogs will be dogs

Not suitable for work? This is how the microwaved dogs look after two minutes under fire. Nobody said having fun was going to be easy. This evening we had 'em again, but this time the veggies included sliced purple potatoes, garlic and snow peas. You add the snow peas at the very end of the steaming, of course, so as not to overcook. Wicked delicious.

how many times have i visited the mighty SISU, only to find myself feeling a bit hungry...

Best with "Hebrew National Quarter pound Dinner Franks". Next best is Nathan's quarter pounders.

We didn't have microwave ovens when I was a kid so we put a couple of ten penny nails through a board, attached some wire, put the dog on the nails than plugged it in to the wall socket. Quicker than microwave.

I can't eat hot dogs anymore... but in any case, when I could I never cared for them microwaved. Boiled... broiled... grilled... yes. Microwave... no. Don't know why but never liked the taste. *grin*

Nathans hot dogs are incredible! That's my favorite thing about shopping at Costco! You can get a Nathan's hotdog and a soda for $1.50! We ALWAYS stop for a dog on our way out!

Sissy fights like a girl, Gab. Brutal little thing. Deadly… a gentle and refined well-spoken Yankee lady-blogger who will hand you your arse… on a vintage Limoges ‘American Beauty’ salad plate."

Your coolness cannot be overstated.
You compete with Ann Althouse in the formidability category, I daresay.

Q: So blogging is about finding genius elsewhere? A: I’m always awestruck by what others can do, and how their minds trip from one issue to another. Here is Sissy Willis, jumping off of one of my pieces but then adding her own twist to it.

SISU is a blog that sneaks up on you with little cat feet, settles in, and doesn’t let go.

Sissy Willis does Yankee comfort food writing as well or better than anyone, and this one for the Perfect Apple Pie makes me want to reevaluate my relationship with lard.

Sissy Willis's blog is much more than a repository of luscious foody goodness. It is also stuffed full of even more luscious Sissy goodness on politics, current events, personal experience, and just plain common sense.

Sissy Willis has a great blog. Read her post on the convergence of the Islamicists and the Feminists -- two of my favorite suicidal movements.
Roger L. Simon
Sissy is one of my favorite bloggers because she is so skilled at moving from the personal and the cultural to the political and back again, something I think often gives a blog its authenticity.
