A+ Fair Corn Dogs!

Wow, lots of you must be hankering for a good corn dog! So here's the link for the recipe:

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/A-Plus-Fair-Corn-Dogs/Detail.aspx

A few notes about this receipe
-You will notice that it has a nifty device that allows you to choose how many servings you want to make. We have found that the recipe for 6 servings will make 5 corn dogs.
-It calls for bacon drippings (ick!) - we substitute honey in place of the drippings.
-It calls for buttermilk, but who has buttermilk just "chillin" in the fridge? I just "make it" by adding some vinegar to regular milk.
-Roll your hot dog in flour before dipping it in the batter - it helps the batter stick to the dog!
-Pour your batter into a glass, and then dip your dogs in the glass.
-For the sticks, we just cut some shishkabob skewers in half that we happened to have in the pantry. They work great!
-We are usually Ball Park people, but we've found that Oscar Meyer is better for these. Plus, I think Pronto Pup uses Oscar Meyer. Oh, and stay away from bun length - they are toooooo long :)

Let me know how your corn dog experiences go, and any tips you may find to make them even better. ENJOY! YUM YUM!

Corn Doggy-Dogs!

A few weeks ago Jim was wanting corn dogs, so he got online and found a recipe that was so good! They almost taste like Pronto Pups (our local corn dog place!) We've made them two more times since that day. Don't they look yummy????

The finished product!

Drive on in.....

Hmm, so this was clear back on August 15th! I know, I know....I'm really behind.

Sage, Jim, and I went to a drive in movie. This was Sage and I's first drive in movie ever! I have to admit that it was not the best idea to take a 6 1/2 month old baby to the drive in movie, but now we know!
Mom and Sage waiting for the show to start - all settled into our "truck-bed" bed.
It was a pretty nice night except for the wind. We didn't have a hat for her, so we put some bloomers on her head! Pretty resourceful, aren't I???

I think she likes it!

Sage just LOVES ice cream. Of course she does - why wouldn't she? We went to DQ last night for an ice cream cone, and decided to let her have a bite, or two, or ten. It was pretty funny!
