Weekends are usually slow around here. Not much to see or do... that we haven't ALREADY seen or done. With gas prices on the rise and no income coming in, except Social Security, we've been trying to stick close to home. It's positively BORING around here. So imagine our delight when we saw this unusual vehicle hanging around the parking lot of our local grocery store.
It definitely got our attention. And caught the eye of everyone passing by. We seriously wondered how they DRIVE that thing. Needless to say, they were promoting WEINERS from Oscar Mayer. FREE coupons for all.
The truth is we haven't had a weiner to eat in years. From what we hear there is nothing NUTRITIOUS inside them. Back in the day, however... they were a regular staple of our childhood diet. Where we come from they call them frankfurters or dogs, HOTDOGS. I would smother mine in yellow mustard with pickle relish inside a BIG bun. My husband on the other hand was partial to CONEYS... made with chili, onions, mustard, ketchup and red pepper relish.
We'd get them at the ballpark, the fair, our local hangouts and at home.
Oh the memories... All this talk about WEINERS made us hungry for a couple of FOOTLONGS. And since I had never had a CONEY... I figured I'd try one, at long last. Better late, than NEVER, right? What a Blast from the Past.
