What did we eat when Dad and I would go boating? He would build a fire in one of the fire pits that were provided. He would get it hot enough, and we would roast hot dogs together, on a stick. Other times Mom packed bread, and we brought Lebanon Bellonia to eat. I am not sure of the spelling.
It is a Northern meat that has spices in it, and it is either likeable, or you don’t want it any more. It was a family treat to eat this. Mom would surprise us at times with this for Sunday, night supper.
We had special meals for Sunday nights because we stayed home. We had no services that night, and Dad always said it was a day of rest. Sure enough we had ice cream for supper at times. We made it in the maker and I had to crank it until it was more solid. Homemade ice cream is still a, treat. It is fattening, so I don’t indulge much. I haven’t made homemade ice cream in years.
What about hotdogs? Well, when I went with Dad to the Lake, we had to eat something, and stores were around, but their prices were high. He would treat me to ice cream, and we would buy hotdogs there. This way we didn’t have to carry them until we ate. We roasted hotdogs on the fire that Dad built. It was in one of their fire pits.
I love burned, hotdogs. I also love to put all kinds of things on the hotdog, and then eat those first. Pickles, potato chips, olives, and anything that goes well on the bun.
Since I am off bread, and potatoes, I eat a, sandwich baked in the microwave. I lay the lunch meat out, add cheese slices, and heat this. In less than a minute you hear something popping. The cheese has melted over the meat, and this combo is delicious. I add pickles after making this. At times I will eat a tomato with this.
