We have an old wheelbarrow that we usually use as a "fire pit" for roasting hot dogs. I prefer mine very well done–not black, but almost! Put it on a bun or just roll it up in a slice of bread, add a little mustard and/or ketchup and sometimes a bit of sweet dill relish, and there you go. Just leave room for s'mores to be made when the wood burns down to coals!
Had a bonus day to get something done for this week's Scribble Picnic (which will be on hold until at least mid-August), so did this quick watercolor pencil scribble. Originally thought the hot dog would be larger, but this is what I ended up with! Scoot on over here to see what other hot dogs showed up for the picnic.
In other news... our county fair was this past week, so I entered several items, and brought home some ribbons! I'll try to post about those within a few days.
Hi Jolene :) Congrats on the ribbons! :)
ReplyDeleteYour scribble brings back memories of camping and LOTS of hot dogs! I just love that smell! :) Nice! :)
Thanks, Rain! Glad to have brought back some good memories for you!
DeleteYour hot dog looks and sounds delicious! Congrats on your prize ribbons!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine! Wish I could have everyone over for a cook-out.
DeleteRibbons? Ohh, what for? Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteJolene, I think the way you like your roasted hot dog is how I’d prefer mine too, although admittedly, never actually enjoyed one cooked over a file. Sounds divine!
WEll done. Thank you so much.
Pickles, cookies, "old treasures", and a couple of pencil sketches. I hope to get a post up about them.
DeleteWhat?! Oh, i do hope you have a chance for an authentic cookout over a fire sometime!
Thanks!
Oh the memories! Sometimes we charcoaled ourselves a yummy treat and other times they fell off into the campfire. We learned to skewer them the long way like a cattail.

LOL Yes, many have been lost to the flames even though we also use the "cattail " method, It was just easier to draw this way!
DeleteSorry I'm so late getting around to everyone's blogs. Great job on your fire pit hot dog, Jolene! I tend to like things almost burned. And congratulations on bringing home some ribbons...bravo!
ReplyDeleteThat's okay-I'm also late replying!
DeleteThanks!
