OMG. That was awful!
Trust me in this. Don't ever waste your time "kabobbing" a hot dog. Yuck. Double Yuck.
And don't even get me started on cottage cheese in celery. Blech. Double Blech.
The potatoes, carrots, and fruit salad were good. What's NOT good is that I downed a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. I did. Unfortunately, that didn't taste good, either.
I'll probably eat another potato and call it quits. I'll nurse my retro glass of water and remind myself that the process has to be gone through in order to reach the purpose.
All I can say is tomorrow's dinner better be MUCH better than this one was.
Yuck.

Roxanne,
What didn't work about the kabobs? Was it the sauce?
In "theory" this should have been fine. I mean a kabob is just meat and veggies that are barbecued or broiled. How could it go wrong? But I can see that the sauce could have been what made it nasty. Am I right?
Also, what kind of hot dog did you use? I think most hot dogs are ghastly and wonder how loving parents can feed them to their children. I am partial, though, to Hebrew National and/or Dodger Dogs (which, I think, are only local to L.A.).
It actually wasn't the sauce. I decided to buy chicken dogs instead of beef or pork. That was probably my first mistake. But seeing pieces of hot dogs (which I eat, like, once a year) combined with mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes on a stick, well...I think it was just too much for me. Too strange. Picky eaters are like that.
Ironically, one of my favorite meals growing up (that my dad made) was scrambled eggs and hot dogs--with ketchup.
Upon thinking through this, I think it was the chicken dogs. Should I ammend my "yuck" evaluation to specificy not to EVER buy those disgusting things?
The sauce tasted like spicy ketchup. It was pretty good.
Maybe I should give them another chance? (I'm scared. Give me a hug.)
*Great big hug*
Okay, sweetie, come sit beside me, take a deep breath and let's think this through...
You're a picky eater. The chicken dogs were probably not the best choice because they are just plain nasty.
If the stuff *wasn't* on a stick, would it have made difference? I mean, if they were just on your plate as side dishes?
(breathe, breathe) I'm OK now. Thanks for helping me focus.
I think it was...
the chicken dogs. The stick was actually kind of cool, until I ate the chicken dog. Then everything began to swirl around me and I think I may have blacked out for a second.
Perhaps I need recommendation for hot dogs that actually taste GOOD. They have to have a nice flavor without any aftertaste. The skin should not argue when you bite into it. I think the chicken dogs were putting up a fight when I tried to eat them.
Please, share with me what brand of hot dogs you would consider the tastiest.
It's for a good cause.
When I get hot dogs, I usually go with Hebrew National. Because they are kosher, they can't scrape up the floor and call it a hot dog.
This probably isn't going to help with your food issues and all, but I think the Morningstar brand of soy dogs are tasty! :) Actually, onions on a stick would have thrown me over the edge. Blech! What a unique dish.
I'm not sure I'm ever even going to attempt this one again! I'm "dog-shy" after the experience. Traumatized, really.
Morningstar does make a lot of tasty products.
eeeewwwwww! I totally agree with you. When I sauce bbq hot dog kabob I just about gagged.
But, this is a RETRO diet, and apparently people ate a lot of hot dogs in that manner.... blecch! My mom used to boil them once in awhile. I can't even look at a boiled hot dog today but can sometimes manage to gag down a very grilled hot dog once or twice a summer.
Um, I have some news for anyone that thinks there is a possibility that a hotdog can include "real" meats. I work for a company that has meat processing plants as customers. Our salesmen that visit these plants have assured me the only kind of "meat" in a hot dog (or any other kind of "meat" product) is lips and something else I feel very uncomfortable typing on a family oriented blog. Eeeeewwww
You could try doing chicken on stick. Probably much better calorie and fatwise than a hot dog.

OK. I am officially freaked out now. LIPS and other "unmentionables"????? Oh, I think I'm going to faint. Or worse.
Hot dogs come up AGAIN in this week's "Budget Fare."
I may go for those soy dogs that Jitterbug mentioned.
People used to eat organ meats and "Rooster fries" and all sorts of other things like "blood sausage. I am the Queen of Squeam, unfortunately, so I would probably have starved a long time ago.
(sigh) Picky eating is not a useful thing!
