2 Hot Dogs Eaten
1 Interview Taken While on Break Today
We had a living room picnic today for dinner. Air fried hot dogs with toasted buns, some delicious macaroni salad, some barely edible coleslaw no one liked, and some hickory flavored baked beans. It was delicious. And no one put anything but mustard on their hot dogs!
