Dogs


Just enjoyed our first corndog


Back in September I did a post about the Whispering Canyon cafe, and how we had enjoyed a Saturday evening tea recreating the food we'd had there in Florida.

Well today we had a similar Saturday tea, but this time inspired by our trip to California last year.

After leaving San Francisco, our first stop was Santa Cruz, on our way down to Monterey. We went to the boardwalk, and for the first time in our trip the weather was really warm. Anyway, for the first time ever, we tried out corn dogs (as mentioned in this post), and we discovered that we really liked them!

So, tonight Nicky found a recipe on line, and it was corn dogs for tea. And they were fantastic - tasted exactly like the ones we had in California - took us right back.

The good news is that we have also found a few places that'll do a good corn dog in Florida!

Only nine weeks to go.

In other news today, Jake bought himself the new Forza Motorsport game for the Xbox, and Nicky bought him a pucker cricket bat (as it was reduced to a bargain basement price). We've been tidying up the back garden and hoovering up leaves. I watched the Cannonball Run as it was on a satellite channel this evening - when I was considerably younger, I thought that it was a funny film. Now I'm not so sure. The best bit by far is the bloopers that are shown as the credits roll.

Tomorrow, I'm off for a test drive ...
