Is a hotdog a hotdog?

Months ago A was having trouble switching over to solids, the pediatrician suggested hotdogs. Bingo. A was in love.

He has had veggie dogs, chicken dogs, turkey dogs...

...and recently he had his first beef dog...and I accidentally had a bite too. I say accidentally, since I don't eat red meat (other than bacon sometimes...), so I have no idea when the last time I ate cow was.

What I realized...the beef hotdog was SO SO much better than any of the other hotdogs I've (I mean A) tried recently. It was a Chicago-dog, served at a wedding lunch, so I'm sure it was high quality, but seriously - so.much.better. Was it the hotdog or just beef in general? Have I been missing out for the last almost-20 years?

Wow, 19 years. That just hit me. I may have had little bits of beef in things that I couldn't avoid, but 99% - no beef since I was 16.

Anyway, I think that was A's first beef as well. He wanted to eat two hotdogs. Beef must agree with him...I'll have to see about adding some more to his diet!

  2. I have to admit that reading your blog posts are a guilty pleasure and whenever you post the link on Facebook I am sure to read them. They allow me to think back about the times when D was younger, back before I had to think about how he will do on the PSAT. Thank you for sharing! I have to say the beef ones are so much better especially the all beef Kosher ones! I don't know how to sign this but this is Julie.
