Did you see today's Living cover about National Hot Dog Month this month?

We celebrated that month in BIG style last night. We're having a family reunion this weekend, with all my dad's brothers descending on our house. It's been crazy! To feed them all (30+ people) on Friday evening, we have been buying hot dogs as they've been on buy-one-get-one-free sales at Giant and Weis for a couple of months, and we grilled them all up.

Here's the "prep" for all those dogs:

And here they are after Hubby worked his grilling magic:

Amazingly, we still have dogs left over. I'll be eating them (and some other leftovers) for weeks to come, and I don't mind a bit!

This morning, over breakfast, we started talking about hot dog toppings; apparently, I'm VERY unpopular for putting ketchup on mine. You guys don't mind ketchup on dogs, do you??

You know how I said I was spending Saturday in the Hanover area?

I used my weekend plans as an excuse to try a Hanover-area specialty that I hadn't had before - the downtown Famous Hot Weiner!

Despite being pretty familiar with the Hanover area, I'd never eaten at the original location at York Street and Broadway, just the newer one over at Dart Drive and Eichelberger Street.

So when Hubby suggested that we stop in with Sarah for our Saturday night dinner, I was totally up for it.

I went with a twist on my favorite - hot dog with ketchup and mustard - the twist being the last-minute addition of bacon after I heard another diner order it.

Sarah went with plain dog. Nothing on it.

We all shared some really, really good fries..

And Chris went for it, ordering two "famous" weiners with their "everything" - onions, mustard and the special Famous Hot Weiner chili sauce.

I have never seen so many onions in one place before!!

All in all, it was a good meal. I like my dogs basically burnt, so mine was a little light for my taste, but still yummy. Chris polished almost all of his two off, and Sarah did a great job on hers. And the fries... wow! I really liked those. (Yes, I'm a big kid at heart.)

The whole weekend was great, and I have some more pictures to share of letterbox hiking, the Summer Blast and more, but those will have to wait. Back to work for now!
