This was made  on chopped which me and my husband love to watch. One of the mystery ingredients was hot dogs and it was in the dessert challenge, yes! you think "what in the world!...". Well to our suprise of the contestants made something that sounded very tempting,  *Deep fried powder sugar coated hot dogs* and let me say they are DELICIOUS!. Simple to make and would make peoples head turn when you tell them what it is.

Ingrediants: Serves 4

-1 cup of sugar
-10 hot dog links
- Vegetable oil

Directions:

Powder sugar is placed in the blender until in the texture of powder, ( powder sugar can be bought as well ). Than if using deep fryer place it at 325 degrees or in a deep pan fill with 3 cups of veggie oil, cut the hot dogs at least 1 inch and than fry them until a nice dark brown. After hot dogs are done let them rest for 2-3 min until most of the remaining oil is off, afterwards place hot dogs in a large plastic (use one with a top) than the powder sugar. Close the the plastic and shake it for about 20-30 seconds and place on plate or individual bowls for your guest and yourself. Add a tooth pick for easier and less messy eating if preferred and than ENJOY!.

Coffee Lovers!

I love coffee as much as the next person, but at times you hear doctors saying it's bad for you than others say it's good for you and even saying you can't drink it to much or to little..."make up your minds already!". So instead of a recipe or a review on a restaurant i wanted to post this very educational but entertaining video about what gets us up in the morning....COFFEE!!!.

It's sure to make you laugh :)
