Hot Dog! Food Blessings
On the way home, I stopped by Kroger and bought a package of Johnsonville Smoked Brats and a package of hotdog buns. (I mention the brandname because I think they're the best) Cooked two brats in a plastic leftover container with some water for two minutes in the mike, then put them into buns, wrapped them well in paper towels and miked them another minute so buns were hot, but soft, not tough. Added ordinary yaller mustard (No fancy Dijon stuff) and chopped onions. (I actually spent good money on a carton of onions finely-chopped by somebody else).
Ate while watching news of war, thinking that maybe fewer people would go to war if they had Johnsonville Smoked Brats and TV sets and computers and all the blessings we have. Potato salad would have been a good side, but I didn't miss it. Beer would have been a good beverage for this, but diet coke was fine.
Just a reminder that there are good things to eat that are easy to fix. I would not hesitate to serve brats in a bun with mustard to the Queen of England.
Anybody else got some yummy-but-n0t-complicated suggestions? I really do have this 800-lb gorilla of a food page to do every week!
Thanks to sporcupine for fighting through a complex California Ripe Olive Web site get me the recipe for "Near Nicoise Salad."
And to Gruntled for his splendid essay on Philly Cheese Steaks which was in Wednesday's HDJ Food Section with his photo and by-line.
Barely, does Alabama have some special food of its own -- i.e. something you always want to have when you go back? Ditto to Princess Whatever. We probably need your S.C. hash column all over again.

i nuke them a little to defrost and pour off the liquid and then either nuke them some more or even better take the nuked brat or italian sausage and throw the nuked brat in a skillet with the defrosted peppers with just a tiny bit of oil and just brown everything nicely with a little garlic powder thrown in. if you like onions, you can brown the onion first and then throw everything else in the skillet. it only takes a minute or so and it's very yummy.:)

as for alabama food. i like to eat buttermilk pie, and every fall i buy some real sorghum there and mix it with butter in a plate and sop everything with a biscuit. not very healthy for the body, but very healthy for the mind.:)
