Sgetti's and dogs

[40cakes]

When I was a kid, my mom would occasionally make me Spaghettios, with a hot dog cut up in them. It was yummy.

I can't recall if she ever cooked it for me and friends, but it wasn't until New Jersey, senior year of college, when I was making it for lunch, and robinterrae was all, "What on Earth are you making?"

pale_jezebel said, "Oh, I used to make that all the time! Jungle Junk! You just throw a bunch of stuff into a casserole dish. Easy dinner when you're twelve."

But it's not a casserole! You heat up a hot dog, you heat up some Sgettios, you mix them together. Love with fork.

I made this sometime last week, and Kirk was all, "Hot dogs and spaghettios? Where the Hell did you get that idea?"

Bah! Is this just me? Is my mother a bizarre cook? I thought this was as American as apple pie and fellatio!

That's really not that odd when you consider the halfway common sister dish: mac 'n' cheese 'n' hot dogs.

My mom makes slumgullion too, but she throws in pepper and onions and uses little shells as the pasta. No cheese, unless you sprinkle Parmesan on afterwards.

Do the apple pie and fellatio go together?

....never mind. I don't REALLY want to know.

Caution: Filling is HOT!

i begged my mom for Spaghettios. she would never get them.

i've still never had them.

I should totally send you Spaghettios. If you ever come out here, we'll take you to really nice NYC restaurants, and then force feed you Sgettis.

when i get out there, we'll totally do that. ;)

My mom didn't make it, but I used to get the Spaghettio's in the can that would come WITH hot dog cut up in it, and I fuckin' loved that shit. I'd eat it right now.

(Except, last time I had Spaghettio's, I think they changed the pasta to something more nutritious and, like, grain-oriented or whatever, 'cause it tasted weird, but I'm HOPING that's just 'cause I was sick at the time, so maybe my taste buds were off. I want NO nutritious value to Spaghettio's. Fuck that noise.)

See? That's why I didn't think it was that odd for me to eat it. They also have them with meatballs.

(Oddly enough, I don't LIKE the prepackaged hot dogs mixed in one, and prefer to roll my own.)

It's so natural! It even comes like that ina can.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Seriously! I'm totally not creative enough to have made this recipe up.

[leadfill.livejournal.com]

You know they sell it like that too, right?

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

They do, but I don't like the premade kind. It tastes different or it's all in my head since I didn't cook each myself or whatever, but I like rolling my own :)

Well, I buy you some mean franks! I have a hankerin' for them now!
