Zombieland and BLTs

Monday I made this bomb-ass BLT. I got home from work about 8 o'clock, started making bread. I went to the store, got some thick bacon, avocado, and lettuce. 11 o'clock rolls around and my bread is ready. I've got bacon. I've got mayo. I've got this amazing tomato that I stole from my mom's tomato plants on Saturday. I have the best BLT in the world. It may not look like much, but that shit was amazing. And huge! I'm a simple person, I can enjoy simple things. And bacon is one of the best of them:

Tuesday night after work, I went to see Zombieland. I wanted to like this movie, I really did. I love zombies and zombie movies, however, I do not like fast zombies, and this movie was chock full of them. At one point during the movie, I announced that I was bored. My mind was on three things and three things only, and this is in order of importance:

3) Why is that chick familiar? (She was in Superbad)
2) Woody Harrelson is hot:

I mean sure that other kid is kind of cute, but Woody Harrelson is just really hot.
1) Bacon sandwich. And dammit, you know I made another one as soon as I got home.

Bacon, don't you ever leave me.

Chicago (style dog) Represent

Tonight, after going to the beach with Luz and Sean, I managed to pack away another 2 dogs for the project. Both of them were more than acceptable today. I went with the Chilean style dog (mayo, ketchup, avocado) and the Chicago style dog (if you don't know what that is, you should stop reading and go school yourself, but I'll provide you with the diagram anyway).

My dill pickle is hidden under the dog itself. That bun was getting pretty crowded. Please note in the chart above that ketchup is a no-no.

I would have to say that the best thing about the Chicago do inarguably is the hue of that relish. Seriously. It is amazing. The secret ingredient is Blue #1.

6 down. 74 to go.

Watch as I attempt to eat 80 hot dogs in one summer

And no, I'm not going to do it all Takeru Kobayashi style. Bon Appetit has this thing in their most recent issue called "Around the World in 80 Hot Dogs" where they suggest 80 different hot dog variations. I decided, because I like punishment, that I was going to do it. Some of them sounded really nasty though, so I took them out, did a lot of internet research (thank you wikipedia) about regional hot dog styles, and have set out to eat 80 different hot dogs. You know what aggravates me? They left off the Chicago style. Bastards. Anyway, last night, Luz and I made some hot dogs (hers were Ball Park, mine were Hebrew Nationals (which are by far, the best hot dogs ever). Working with things I already had around the kitchen, I went with the Peking (hoisin and green onion) and the Japan (which called for wasabi and mayo, but when you have Kewpie wasabi mayo, I think you're pretty much covered. They were both pretty decent.

I also took the dry erase calendar that we got to keep track of bills but never use, and turned it into my official hot dog tracker:
