Gourmet Hot Dogs

My brothers and their wives and children (where applicable) came to town to spend an early Thanksgiving with the Utahns of the family (or at least, the Utahns that were willing to drive to Salt Lake to see them).

In recent years Abe has become quite the chef.Â He decided to treat us all to gourmet hot dogs while he was here.Â These were jumbo hot dogs stuffed with cheese, sauteed onions, condiments, and wrapped with bacon.Â I like to call them “A Heart Attack in a Bun.”

I wasn’t going to have any because I was getting over the flu.Â (Yes, I got the stomach flu earlier that week–what else is new.)Â However, the scent of grilled grease dogs overpowered me and I decided to give them a try.

I didn’t regret it right away.Â In fact, they were delicious.Â However, I awoke at about 2 in the morning wanting to die.

Next time I’m faced with the option of eating a gourmet hot dog, I think I’ll have to pass.Â No offense, Abe.

Much Anticipated Halloween Pictures

Rebecca Brooke, Dallas, Holidays, Rebecca 6

Every year my mom’s side of the family gets together for a Halloween dinner.Â Some of us get more into dressing up than others, as you will see, but we all have a great time nonetheless.

Without further ado–Halloween 2008!

Can you guess who we are?

No, Dallas is not a wall.Â Here’s another pose in case you still don’t get it:

Get it now? He’s the yellow-brick road!Â And yes, Brooke is a ballerina, but not just any ballerina.Â She’s the ballerina munchkin.Â Grandma Allen gave her the tutu and we had to put it to good use!

Here’s another look at the munchkin:

These next pictures are of my extended family so many of you will not know who they are.Â Sorry.Â Just enjoy the costumes.

This is the best picture we had of Sam and Kathy.Â (Sam is the blue wizard.)

Andy and Amanda and family:

My grandma (a witch):

Clint and Nani:

Bryce.Â It may appear that he’s not in costume, but turns out, the day before he went to a store to get a game for his Wii.Â At the store, the employees were all wearing black t-shirts and giving them away for free.Â Bryce took one and used it to dress up as one of the employees of that store.
