(Not a very good picture of all the garlicly butter smeared on the outside of the bun.)
Some people say Lobster is just an excuse to eat lots of butter. I can understand that, but I would also say, butter tastes way better with lobster than butter alone.
When I came home today I was tired and somewhat in a funk that in my younger years would have called for a cold beer, or two or three, four. But for where I am in my life now, it called for a hot dog, which I was going to have anyway.
I decided on my garlic dog, and experimented with it more today. This time I sliced the dog, steamed and grilled it, then placed in a heavily buttered with garlic and Italian seasoning in the butter hot dog bun.
It was very good, but while I sit here now my mouth still filled with the wonderful seasoned garlicy taste of butter in my mouth, I wonder, was the hot dog just an excuse to eat garlic bread. Particularly since the Oscar Meyer dog was so small compared to the bun. I should only buy bun sized dogs going forward.
I could eat another, and maybe three, four, but think I will just settle with this one. For lunch today instead of my usual salad, I had Puerto Rican chicken, yellow rice, yucca with onions and fried green plantains, which was all really quite awful. It was cooked in the hospital cafeteria and not purchased on Park Street in Hartford. Big difference.
Day 55 in the belly.
