My mom invited the kids and I to dinner last night. We were already there to swim and Chris was working late. Maybe she felt sorry for us.
When Shaun saw what she was cooking, he exclaimed, "Oh! Hot dog salad!" And we all had a big laugh. The "hot dog salad" he was referring to was actually sour kraut and hot dogs. Everyone called it "kraut and wieners" when I was growing up, but I think that sounds gross. I think I'll call it "hot dog salad" from now on, too. The way Shaun's mind works amuses me. He always sees things in a completely different perspective than I do. Cabbage and hot dogs = hot dog salad. So obvious, and yet I had never thought about it that way.
The hot dog salad was good. It had been years since I'd eaten it. We also had green beans, squash, and tomatoes from the garden and potatoes and corn bread. Delicious. We ate so much that there wasn't any left when Chris got home, so he had to settle for Subway.
