Gourmet Hot Dogs...

A complete meal!

Creating a meal at my boyfriends house can be challenging if Trader Joe's wasn't on the todo list that day.  Here's what we found in the fridge...olive bread (didn't matter if it was a little stale since we were toasting it), hot dogs (the only protein but at least it was Applegate!), Basil (growing out of a junko chime....will post pics of that later), and brie (probably the freshest ingredient of the bunch).  We buttered the bread with a little earth balance, and threw it all in the oven.  We were impressed how sophisticated a hot dog could look!  We balanced out the meal with a little arugula salad dressed with some lemon and cracked pepper, two kinds of pickles and of course wine!  Pretty hardy meal for "nothin in the fridge."  My only fix-it would be to slice the hot dogs a little thinner so as not to over power the other flavors!  Bon Appetit!
