Use up Sunday

Yesterday evening we had hot dogs for tea after returning home - it was hot, we were tired from travelling and that was all we felt like, one hot dog each.

However that left me with half a jar of huge hot dogs and some unsatisfactory hotdog buns - and half a dozen fresh free range eggs from a friend of darling uncle.

So lunch today was going to be omelets with a scattering of finely chopped hot dog with herbs and tea was going to be pepper and onion gently fried and then stirred up with tomato puree, olives and finely chopped hot dogs, then spread on the unsatisfactory buns and toasted in the oven.

Darling father brought in ice creams, so we ended up having those for lunch. Deep sigh. But I held on to the idea of the sauce-on-unsatisfactory-buns and went to a local supermarket to add to the small red pepper. They didn't have any. I came home still focused as I thought I could work round it. Then I remembered I had run out of onions.

Darn.

So at this point OH stepped in and chopped up the remaining hotdogs and stirred them into two tins of baked beans, seasoned and spooned them into the abundance of pita pockets that I had somehow ended up with. Every one really enjoyed it except little bear who, after a busy few days, was the hysterical side of tired.

However tomorrow I have to do the sauce-on-unsatisfactory-buns thingy as OH really quite fancies that for a meal. I'll probably get another jar of hot dogs, use half, then have to use them up...

There is also a chorizo that darling uncle gave me. I am looking at it with suspicion, and I am not sure exactly where it is going to fit in to my very non exotic cooking. Possibly as part of the sauce-on-unsatisfactory-buns but I am not sure.

Lesley - that's reassuring. I was just giving it the 'rabbit in the headlights look' but it will be great. Thank you! WS x
