Wowee, Doreen, does that ever sound good!

OK, here's my very plebian response. One thing I miss on this WOL is hot dogs, which don't taste right to me without the bun. One or two a year will do me, but I didn't get my 'fix' this summer, and with all the hot dog vendors on the beach just a block away, I've been feeling deprived. So here's my latest 'discovery':

"Corn" Dogs:

In a bowl, gloop together 3 tbsp soy flour, 1/2 tsp salt, spices to taste (I used chili powder and cayenne), 1 egg, and enough cream or water to make a medium-thick paste. Dip some hot dogs in this gloop. Place in hot oil in pan and spoon any remaining gloop on top. Fry. They come out kind of square instead of round, but who cares? You could probably also deep fry them. I ate mine with a mayo/mustard dip and a few fried onions on the side. They are about 3 carbs each, depending on the brand of hot dog and how much batter you use on each.

End of deprivation.
