In an earlier posting we talked about a very tasty bacon wrapped treat: Bacon Wrapped Jumbo Chicken Franks. Now of COURSE you have the option of using other types of hot dogs as mandrels for the bacon… but we highly suggest sticking with bigger wieners if you can. Size DOES matter, ya’ know.
So what can ya’ do with small wieners? Especially the ones made from quality meat like Nathan’s and Hebrew National? Rest assured we have found a baconified use for those, too!
Just last night we feasted on some Nathan’s Hot Dogs prepared in the following manner:
- Cooked bacon. As usual.
- Allowed bacon to drain on paper towel and cool to room temperature.
- Cooked hot dogs while bacon cooled.
- Diced a variety of fresh hot peppers while hot dogs cooked.
- Opened hot dog buns and laid a strip of bacon on each bun wall.
- Placed a line of diced hot peppers where the two strips of bacon meet.
- Apply a ‘squiggle’ of mustard (not honey mustard!) over the peppers.
- Drop a hot dog on top of all that and tuck all the components into place.
One additional thing we opted to do that some may not want to do: We added an additional ‘squiggle’ of mustard over the hot dog because hot dog buns don’t tend to have enough moisture in them for our taste.
We LOVED these hot dog, bacon and fresh hot pepper creations! You will, too!
OK, so we have more or less vanished off the face of the planet for a long while. OOPS.
Well don’t worry, despite the ridiculous cost of bacon these days we have continued to indulge even if we haven’t told you any wonderful bacon stories recently.
Today’s story will make ya’ want to go to the kitchen RIGHT away, though, and eat some bacon!
Killer Bacon Sandwich Idea
Imagine, if you will, the classic grilled cheese sandwich. Boring, we know, even if you use exotic cheeses and know exactly how to get the bread golden brown without burning it.
So… add bacon and it gets better? Of COURSE, but if you wait just a second, we’ll tell you how to take grilled bacon and cheese sandwiches to a whole new level!
Starting at the bottom of the sandwich, we had the following layers:
- Slice of cheese
- Whole slice of thick cut bacon (cooked) broken into halves
- Slice thin cut salami
- Diced fresh jalapenos from a friend’s garden
- Slice of cheese
- More thin sliced salami
- More bacon the same as the first layer
- Final slice of cheese
As bread we selected some sort of whole grain stuff… because we had that in the pantry.
And… the Taste Test
Unfroggin’ believably tasty! We can’t wait to make another one!
Sorry we have no pics on this one… We ate the experiment too hastily!
Yes… Blakk Frogg’s talking about YOU and he certainly has too much time on his hands these days. NOT!

That’s what inspired this product line. Blakk Frogg works his amphibious tail off all the time and has to endure sooooo many people around him just lollygagging their way through life stopping ONLY to complain and whine about how “life is so hard” and “life’s so unfair”. . . so he came up with this design to tell all those people just how he feels about them. THEY’RE ALL A BUNCH OF SLACKERS!
Feel free to share the ‘love’ that emanates from this friendly, polite and simple, yet oh-so-appropriate design. Or not. Most of you won’t, though, ‘cuz you’re just a bunch of… SLACKERS!
Vodka and ice will ruin your kidneys, Rum and ice will ruin your liver, Whiskey and ice will ruin your heart, Gin and ice will ruin your brain, and last but not least, coke and ice will ruin your teeth.
That bloody ice is lethal. Warn all your friends: Lay off the ICE!

As record high temperatures continue to scorch many parts of the United States lists like the following have started appearing in local newspapers across the country:
Top ten items not to leave in your car in this heat
Myrtle Beach, SC (WMBF)- In this extreme heat and humidity, getting into that hot car is all but pleasant, but what about the things you leave in your car once you get out? With no end in sight for the heat, here’s the top ten items to take out of your vehicle tonight.
10.) Aerosol cans — Aerosol cans like hairspray should not be stored at temperatures above 120F. They can explode.
9.) Prescription and over the counter medications — The heat can change the chemical composition of medications.
8.) Cigarette lighters — These lighters can explode if they are left in a hot car.
7.) Electronic devices like GPS and iPods — The heat can cut short the lives of electronic devices. In the long run, this will cost you money to replace these items.
6.) CDs and DVDs — CDs and DVDs can be damaged if left in a hot car.
5.) Sunglasses — The heat can warp the shape of frames and lenses on your sunglasses.
4.) Plastic bottles like water bottles — Chemicals used to make plastic bottles could leach into your drink if you leave them in the heat.
3.) Crayons — If it is hot enough in the car, crayons will melt causing a gooey mess.
2.) Lipstick — Lipstick will also melt in the heat, so take it with you when you get out of the car.
1.) Soda cans — Cans don’t like extreme heat or cold and can explode.
OK, so that list makes a lot of sense but it also makes one wretched assumption about many members of the general public and common sense: It made the terrible assumption that all members of the general public HAVE common sense.
OUR version of this list would have started with the following three entries because we know better than to assume good things about the general public these days:
- Children
- Elderly
- Pets
As stupid as that sounds, we have lots of stupid people on this planet who ‘forget’ to get grandma, junior and/or the family llama out of the car on hot days.
After a long day at the office I sat down on the couch next to my wife who turned and asked me, “What’s on the TV tonight?”
Without thinking I answered, “Dust.”
Word of advice: Despite its light and fluffy appearance, a feather duster HURTS when it hits you at speeds topping 100 mph.
I took my wife to a fancy French restaurant in the rich part of town the otehr night and for some strange reason the waiter took my order first.
Not wanting to make a scene, I said, “I’ll have the strip steak cooked medium rare, please.”
In a snooty French accent he then asked, “Aren’t you worried about the mad cow?”
“Nah, she can order for herself.”
Never got to eat my steak, but the doctors say I’ll be back on solid foods in a few weeks.
Last night I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Coors Light for $14.95.
Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95.
Later I tried to explain to her how the beer would make her look ten times better at night than the cold cream.
The swelling in my right eye finally went down enough for me to see around three this afternoon.
My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, “Do you want to have sex?”
“No,” she quickly answered and then turned away.
Thinking I could win her over with charm, I then asked, “Is that your final answer?”
This time she didn’t even turn around before simply saying, “No.”
So I said, “Then I’d like to phone a friend…”
I had no idea you could get a concussion from a cell phone…
I asked my wife, ‘Where do you want to go for our anniversary?’
It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. “Somewhere I haven’t been in a long time!” she said.
So I suggested, “How about the kitchen?”
Needless to say I spent our anniversary alone, bleeding, and in the emergency room.
