A few months have passed since I last posted here. I am sorry but my motivation for this is seriously low. I'm not sure why but I can suspect of a few things here and there, some personal matters that affect my life directly, some of them with solution, some of them with no solution at all so, I am really sorry for my absence.
I do have some videos already made though so I will try to post all of them, but after that I'm not sure about the future of this activity of mine.
Anyway, here's a Gherkin Hotdog to give a little zing to your lives :D
Enjoy!
And Happy 2023 :)

This is the Cucumber Hotdog, an healthier alternative to the regular hotdog, according to the description. Well, I'm not sure about that considering all the sauces I used but, it is definitely an alternative :)
I liked it a lot. For me, what makes a hotdog taste like hotdog is pretty much the sauces so, that's that. The cucumber gave some freshness to it but other than that it tasted like ketchup, mustard and mayo. I enjoyed it and decided to rate it with four stars.
Enjoy!

It's been almost a month since I last posted something here. I'm sorry. Life happens :) I don't know if I ever mentioned that in the middle of this year we were able to rescue another cat litter from my street and I ended up fostering the five kittens. It was a lot of work 'cause I already have three of my own and my house is not that big, it's just a regular portuguese apartment. Anyway, we rescued that and along the way we spayed a male cat (we named him Blue) from my street 'cause he got in the cage that was meant for the litter's mother. We then succeeded and spayed their mother (who had in the meanwhile had another litter - which we were able to catch with a few tragedies in the middle) and luckily the vets helped us give them for adoption! Except Blue, he was quite feral so he was returned to the colony. We were also able to give a home to another female cat who had been living in my street for at least eleven years! We also got a kitten to give for adoption to a woman who knocked on my door on the 31st of October asking for a month old kitten. I showed her a picture of a kitten we had for adoption who was about two months old. Her reaction was quite bland. The next day we tried to contact her and she only answered by the end of the day saying she wasn't interested anymore. I was mad I was "stuck" with another kitten (by this time the others I was fostering had already been adopted) but then I thought and I was happy I never gave her the kitty. It was Halloween and people are superstitious and stupid. Who knows what she had in mind! I was mostly shocked with myself. I always pay attention to this very important detail! Never give cats for adoption on Halloween! Still we were able to give him for adoption a couple of weeks later :)
But these are not the reasons why I haven't been active here. The truth is, I ended up adopting one of the kittens I fostered.
Meet Cooper (about 7 months old), the youngest member of the family and the only boy, the tabby in the front ^_^ - and the rest of the siblings, of course: Maggie (calico - 5 years old); Pinky (grey - 5 years old) and Toffee (black - 1 year old).
And I confess I felt pretty overwhelmed with a fourth cat. Also, my boyfriend quit his job and started a new one that f*cked up my entire routine. And last week he had a (gladly) minor car accident that switched our priorities a bit. And, to top it all, most of my family's birthdays started in November and guess who bakes the cakes? I don't know, I just felt overwhelmed with everything in the past few months and it all came down on my shoulders in November so, please, forgive me.
Now, onto the real content of this blog. This is a hotdog I had already made before Halloween but never got to post it so here it is, the Coconut Hot Dog - A little sweet coconut tops off this tasty hot dog.
It wasn't that bad. I was actually disappointed because all I could taste was the sausage and no coconut at all. And so I added more coconut XD
Enjoy!
The food will be rated from 1 to 5 stars, meaning:
⭐ - This could be part of gross foods! Ugh :(
⭐⭐ - Waste of ingredients but edible...
⭐⭐⭐ - Ok. Not my favourite thing but also not that bad
⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Now this has a lot of neopotential :D
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Wow! Was this created by fairies?! Yummy!
Now remember that this is, obviously, my opinion only ;)
Coconut Hotdog -⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I gave this food four stars because it wasn't a bad combo, coconut and hot dog. I was pleasantly surprised by this food ^_^.

Like I mentioned on my previous blog post I am now going through the venues of more... lets call it exotic... foods. Or weird foods... what ever you wanna call it 😅
I am also starting a new series called So Easy! because some of there foods are pretty much just assembling ingredients together, which makes them really easy to make.
So, for a start on these new paths - and series! - I am bringing you the Chocolate coated hot dog - Hmm chocolate and sausage isn't what you would normally expect, but it makes a nice change from mustard.
Probably I should have used another type of chocolate to coat the hotdog but as I have said before, sometimes I make these foods to use up leftovers or ingredients that are going bad soon or even things I have got laying around on my pantry and I don't use that often so, instead of going for a chocolate spread of some sort, I used up a rest of chocolate topping I had in my pantry just waiting for the "finish him" strike. Gladly, and honestly, I was quite happy with the result.
Enjoy!

Chocolate Coated Hotdog -⭐⭐⭐⭐ - This hotdog received four stars because it was surprisingly pleasant to eat. I already know some meats go really well paired up with chocolate sauces but I did not expect the same results with such a processed product that can barely be called of meat. You know what? Try it! :D
