sun and hot dog buns!

Way to much food over the weekend, feeling laggy and sleepy still and I haven't eaten hardly anything substantial today. Probably also got a bit to much sun, it's not as hot as direct sun in Texas but you can get sun stroke deceptively easily when there is a warm day with a little wind but no clouds. I did spend 5 or 6 hours on Sunday and Monday more or less in direct sunlight. I should probably wear a hat some too.

Food for Tuesday...
Breakfast:
Coffee and Banana

Lunch:
Half a turkey club wrap and a small cup of veggie soup

Snack:
Pear

Dinner:
2 hot dogs, steamed and in buns (more about hot dog buns below)
few tortilla chips and guac


Hot dog buns ... this seems like such a simple thing that should more or less not mean much in the overall hot dog experience, so long as they are made of decent bread and not stale. In New England you can get buns that are cut differently than we can get in Texas and they toast/grill nicely making the hot dog eating experience exceptional, IMOHO. Here is a picture of a properly created hot dog bun with just the right amount of crust and plain bread surface area for toasting.
I may just not have looked hard enough for these "top sliced" buns in TX but so far I have not reliably found them.



Ok so maybe I am just being ultra picky ... but I like what I like!

Wow, what a healthy day! :-)

I know I've seen the top-split buns here in Texas, but I think they're Sara Lee or something and not a local brand.

I'm a food-snob when it comes to choosing the hotdogs themselves (well, as much as anyone can be snobby about buying little tubes of ground-up scrap meat) but I always just buy the cheapest, squishiest, store bakery buns I see. I've been conditioned by too many cheap cookouts as a kid I guess!
