On the Grill

Delicious juicy hot dogs
Slathered with mustard,
Onions, slaw, and chili sauce
Some hamburgers, too,
On soft toasted buns
Cheese slices.
Yum!

Linda Alice Fowler Date: 8/12/2022 12:39:00 PM Don't forget the cheese please :) Congratulations on your win Milt! Linda Login to Reply Linda Alice Fowler Date: 8/12/2022 1:46:00 PM We only put cheese on the dogs if they had chili on them too. :) But always cheese on the burgers. Linda L Milton Hankins Date: 8/12/2022 1:12:00 PM Thank you, Linda. I don't recall us putting cheese on a hot dog when we had them back in the mountains of West Virginia. But, it sounds tasty!

Paula Goldsmith Date: 8/12/2022 12:26:00 PM Congratulations on your win. A lovely write. Looks like the weekend is on and so is your grill. Hot and cooking. Time to eat. Hahahah. Making me hungry. Have a blessed day/weekend.......... Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 8/12/2022 1:12:00 PM Thank you, Paula. Come on over and I'll throw an extra hamburger or hot dog on the grill. I don't want anyone to go away hungry!

Sam Kauffman Date: 8/12/2022 11:07:00 AM Yummy Milt! Wonderful menu for a barbecue. I can smell the burgers and dogs cooking on the grill! And, as far as I'm concerned, a burger isn't a burger without cheese! Enticing. Congrats and five fives for your win!

Alexis Y. Date: 6/4/2022 7:41:00 PM Hi Milt, I really enjoy a grilled hotdog. The way you described it made me like it more. What are you firing up on the grill? Best wishes in the contest. Have a nice day and weekend:-) Alexis Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 6/4/2022 8:29:00 PM Now that there's just me at home, I don't grill anymore, Alexis. I get invited to lots of cookouts, though. You have a nice weekend, too.

I Am Anaya Date: 6/3/2022 7:52:00 PM I love hot dogs! Can't go too long without having one, they are an event. I like mine warm, with mayo please. Yessss! Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 6/3/2022 9:11:00 PM Ah, thanks, Anaya. I prefer mustard. I have discovered that folks in different parts of the country (and the world, for that matter) eat their hot dogs with their own special condiments. Endless variety, I'd say.

Jenna Logan Date: 6/2/2022 1:31:00 PM Only grilled is a hot dog worth eating. What time do we eat? Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 6/2/2022 1:45:00 PM Hmmm...I don't think I have any in my freezer. How about grilled bratwurst? Now that I have.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 6/2/2022 3:52:00 AM Oh, yummy yummy; this one is a winner. Hot dogs for breakfast now! Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 6/2/2022 10:11:00 AM I love 'em, especially in the summertime. Too bad they are not at all healthy for me. I eat 'em anyway.
