Hot diggety

Eastside Road, Healdsburg, March 10, 2009

WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW how appropriate it was, having a hot dog for dinner tonight, until an e-mail from Portland asked if we were watching the game. I didn't even know there was a rematch. I tune in just in time to be too late: The Netherlands had defeated the Dominican Republic, two to one, in the bottom of the eleventh inning. The DR had 26 major-league players on their roster, I read somewhere; The Netherlands "only" twelve or sixteen or so.

Oh. Sorry. Right: this is food, not baseball. Niman=Schell frankfurter (the new edition is longer and skinnier and tastes much the same), Downtown Bakery bun, pickle relish, mustard, chopped raw onion. Green salad.

Charles, thanks much for your note about the "pity" for "piety" mistake in quatrain 71. I've corrected it ...

Back to the game ...

So where do you find the new Niman Schell hot dogs? Still no sighting at our Trader Joes, or anywhere else in our neck of the woods...

TJ in Santa Rosa. Maybe it takes longer north of the Klamath.
