I meant to make these for "Superbowl Commercial" Sunday but forgot. So I
made them Tuesday. We had store-bought chicken pot pie yesterday.

Ballpark Franks, the longer ones with pork and chicken parts. I didn't
grow up with all beef hot-dogs and never developed a taste for them.

Just curious. I didn't grow up eating hot dogs/franks at all. When I
do buy a package I pick up Ballpark. I think I get the all-beef but I
buy them so rarely I'm not sure. I'm sure yours "in a tarp" tasted
good! :) What did you use to make the "tarp"?

That's just patronizing bullshit. Compliments (or insults)
from you mean nothing. You aren't sure they tasted
good. You didn't have any idea. You just want that old

One Pillsbury Crescents tube makes:

16 Pigs in a blanket

The stuff's versatile, and I've only ever had one tube sort of explode. ;)

I was wondering about the Crescents roll dough. You stretched the dough
out very nicely. :)

I've only ever had Pigs in a blanket made using those tiny smoked
sausages and the Pillsbury crescent dough triangles cut smaller to wrap
around them. Appetizers. A long time ago. Tasty! No exploding tubes,
either. ;)

I've bBallpark gframnks moprph over the dedes from Beeg and pork or
pork and hgciucken, to chichen and pork and it's disgiusting.

Remember when they used "Plump when you cook 'em"?. Well, they sure
as fuck don't now. Even the beef ones don't do that. And they don't
have beef and pork ones anymore - which were the Original "Plump
when you cook 'em".

Mechanically separated chicken dogs SUCK!

That's the beauty of it. You don't have to stretch anything. Roll 'em up
and throw them in the oven. Well...after cutting the unrolled dough
sheet into four rectangular pieces along two of the conveniently
located semi-cuts. Ignore the slanted cuts.
If someone else here likes hot-dogs, they won't hate this prep.

There seems to be a big difference between chips/crisps seasoned with
hot pepper spices, and using actual hot peppers in cooking. I love hot
peppers, and I like spicy food for the most part. I can't stand spicy
chips or crisps though. I tried those "flaming hot" Cheetos once; they
were just awful. It was literally painful to eat; absolutely nothing
pleasant about them. Fortunately it was a tiny bag, and I didn't feel
as bad about throwing the rest away.
