Swing Shift Pot Luck

Well, I've been back on swings for a week.

Strange things are happening - I feel like I hardly get to see my kids or my husband. I'm so tired in the morning when the girls wake up that I have to lay down for more sleep so I see them even *less* and I feel so mentally exhausted when I get home from work. Swing shift (4p-12midnight) is so much busier. It's really the shift I love working. I complained so much about graves, but it really does seem to fit better. Talk about a double edged sword!


All us "swingers" are so sad that our local Wienerschnitzel restaurant closed down last year. So Justin had the fabulous idea of having a chili cheese dog pot luck. I researched recipes online for their chili and found one that got pretty good reviews. I made it. It's good, but there's just something not quite right. Here's the link to the one I used. I made it the night before so all the flavors had plenty of time to mesh together. But it still tasted alot like red chili powder. I didn't want to mess too much with the garlic and other seasonings, but maybe I should have. Alas.

It's good to be back on swings, but I'm missing graves too. What's wrong with me!?!

  1. WHAT!!!!!? I so wish I could have been there for this! I miss the wienershnitzel so bad! We did chili dogs all the time when I was a kid (probably because of sonic the hedgehog!) We just used caned chili and it actually tastes similar to the restraunt.. also - per Jayson - the off brand hotdogs at costco (they are all beef and bun length) - taste even better than Hebrew National.... Why am I going on about hotdogs? I need to get out more!
