concerning the long awaited kabobs

It is a million degrees in my house and the boys are cheering Holland in the World Cup, but I am making frankfurter kabobs, because I promised myself I would get through these recipes despite the heat.

Here is the recipe:

8 Frankfurters (hot dogs)
1.5 Tbsp of coarse grained mustard
6 Tbsp of oil
24 baby onions.

Blanche the onions in boiling water for 5 minutes. Cut your hot dogs in thirds and thread onions and hot dog pieces alternately on skewers. Whisk oil and mustard and baste with half of the sauce, then broil skewers for five minutes. Remove from oven, turn skewers over and baste with other half of sauce, broil a further 5 minutes.

I expected that much like the Pepsi Pot Roast the ingredients would somehow magically turn into something else once these were done, but they didn't. They were hot dogs with onions and mustard on skewers. While we watched the soccer game we ate our hot dog kabobs and my husband said. "These are...they're odd, really. Little grilled bits of mustard and onion. Just, odd." I agree. Not a repeat.

Tomorrow is the $2.50 Dinner For Two. I have my can of beans, I have my can of tomato soup, I have my defrosted ground beef...I'm ready.
