Yep…it’s true, I am hot under the collar! My blood pressure is soaring, and it isn’t because of beef, pork, coffee, eggs….it is because of IDIOTS! Therefore, I think Idiots should be against the law! They are hurting my health, they are causing me stress, they are ruining my day! Do you think I can find anyone in Washington DC to take up my cause? Hell no, I can’t pay them off!

Kay’s Corn Dogs
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon shortening
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
12 skinless frankfurters
cooking oil
mustard to taste
Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in shortening. Combine milk and eggs, beating slightly. Pour into flour mixture. Stir until smooth. For dipping franks, pour batter into tall glass or spread in shallow pan. Add sticks, making a handle, or hold franks with tongs. Coat franks with batter. Drop battered-franks into hot oil, cooking until golden on all sides. Drain, serve hot with mustard.
