Sweet Hubby took me to a mall today, specifically to REI to buy me waterproof hiking shoes/boots so that next time I walk in slush and snow, my shoes, feet, and socks won't immediately become soaked and icy. Today is my birthday and this was just one of his gifts.
He has also hidden 71 cards around the house for me to find. Each one contains money, anything from 1 cent to 20 dollars. So far I've found 17 of them, most of them right under my nose. I'm learning that I'm not terribly observant because, as I move through my day, I usually only see what I'm focused on and miss anything - even a colored envelope - that I'm not looking for. SH is getting a day of laughs as he watches me, for example, pick up my daypack and completely miss seeing the yellow card under it.
Anyway, back to the mall trip. As we were leaving, I spotted a shop called Seoul Hot Dog. It didn't look terribly inviting. There are boxes stacked up in the front window, and no seats or tables. But in the spirit of trying new things, I asked to go there for a small bite for lunch, and, in the spirit of giving me anything I want on my birthday, SH agreed.
These hot dogs are more like what we call corn dogs, meaning wieners or sausages on a stick. But this place has variations on that theme. Besides a meat dog, it's possible also to get a mozzarella stick, or a half and half. Also, they asked if we wanted sugar on the panko crust, to which question, of course, we replied yes. They offer several different dipping sauces. I chose honey mustard for my half and half. They also offer another variation of rolling the dog crust in potatoes bits. We didn't go for that, mostly because we're going out to dinner tonight and want to be nice and hungry for that.
So that was my little impulse exploration of something new today. I don't know that I'd go back to Seoul Hot Dogs, but it sure was fun giving it a try. Happy birthday to me!
