Hot dog! An old fashioned exclamation of pleasure plus the introduction to my short story.
Best value! $1.5o foot long hot dog and soda at Costco stores (Note: chicken caesar salads are also great for $4). We shared this opinion with Mom, who said she had not had a hot dog in a long time. Next thing we know, she and Dad ate hot dogs when they ate out and bought some at the grocery. Of course when we go to the grocery, we are thinking hot dogs and buy some to take home. The twist in the story comes, when we discovered all our condiments had expired (it had been that long since we had hot dogs at home).
I proceed to empty contents in the compost bin, some went thru the disposal, followed by disposing the bottles for recycling. A couple of days later…under the old sink…it smells like ketchup and mustard. The disposal failed. New disposal ordered…hmmm…outlet and hoses and connections should be updated…might as well replace the sink too! (The almond finish of the old sink went with the appliances we replaced 10 years ago.) One thing leads to another and it may start with hot dogs. Happy National Hot Dog Day 2017, Wednesday July 19th!

That is a nice sink it looks like ours. You will be happy with it we sure are.

I think the cost of that hot dog was a little more than $1.50 by the time you add in the disposal, hoses, sink and new condiments. Beware, those hot dogs aren’t as innocent as you think. 😉
Sooo true!
