Casper’s, why can’t I quit you?


Oh, Casper’s hot dogs with your yummy steamed buns…why are you so delicious?  Why are you full of salty goodness?  Why do I continue to say yes to you each time we meet?  Why can I not just have one of you?  Why must it always be two?

Generally, hot dogs do nothing for me.  But Casper’s hot dogs are not only a Bay Area tradition, they are the yummiest entrails on the planet.  I love ’em.  My favorite is the mustard dog...yellow mustard, tomatoes, onions...all nestled in a squishy bun around a tasty dog.  My husband was popping out on the moped today while I was talking to a client and he mouthed, “Casper’s?”  Like one of Pavlov's dogs, he had me at "Casper's."

I did my online calorie search to see if I’d be able to eat Casper’s with today’s level of activity.  Well, two Casper’s dogs are 950 calories.  I ate them(oh, yes, I did!), so I owe my “bank.”  Nothing like debt to encourage a little gardening effort.  Yummy Casper’s = WIN.  Knowing = WIN.  Gardening = WIN.

Super easy.

BTW, thanks to my son who is digging out all the stubborn weeds.  You’re my favorite.
