Culinary School Graduate

We were really happy to be able to attend Uncle Shane's graduation.  Many of his family were there.  It was a quick trip, but we were glad to be part of the celebration.  Congratulations Shane!  We are very proud of you!!

Mexican Charred - Corn Dog

Before we get to this delicious recipe...a poem.

FAMILY

My family is the best

And does not rest

We have lots of fun

While eating hot dogs with buns

Mom likes to bake

We love what she makes

We like to eat strudel

And also noodles - Ian 

We actually don't eat a lot of hot dogs, but when we do I like to get the good ones from the butcher shop.

Sometimes in the summer when it is just waaay too hot and the last thing you want to do is cook dinner.  Hot dogs can be a good option and it's kind of fun to add some unique toppings.
If you're looking for a way to jazz up your hots give this a try.

Mexican Charred - Corn Dog

2 cups of corn ( I use frozen, thawed)

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 green onions sliced

Salt and Pepper

2 tablespoons light mayonnaise

2 teaspoons lime

4 grilled hot dogs

4 buns

 Crumbled feta cheese

Chili powder

1. Cook corn in a dry skillet until brown.  Add the olive oil and the white parts of the green onions cook until tender.  Season with salt and pepper.

2. Stir the mayonnaise and lime together.

3. Place the hot dogs in the buns add the corn mixture and drizzle lightly with the lime mayo. Sprinkle on feta and chili powder.

The Poem Book of the Greatest Poems in History

Ian came home with a book of poems.  They are pretty funny, and I will be sharing some of that funniness with you guys.

"Mom is small

And not very tall

She is very fun

But slow when she runs" - Ian Young

Truth.

Mother's day

We had a nice quiet Mother's day this year.  We had just got back from a friend's graduation in Iowa on Saturday evening.  I knew everyone would be a little on the tired side, so I had suggested something laid back in advance.

We went to church.  The sermons are always so up lifting.

Lunch here.

A few hours of rest and relaxing.

Pizza delivered from here.

A short walk around the neighborhood (it was a little cool).

We watched a couple of episodes of this show.  Do you remember this one?  When I was a kid I thought that car was the coolest!  I was so excited when I saw it on netflix.

I hope you all had a lovely day!
