I have decided to break a bit with tradition, girls. I ushered in the month with "1776," but for this special day--which evokes sadness and nostalgia for me because of my childhood past, and my parents' friends we would always visit on this day, but who are now all gone--I chose another tradition, one more bound to those in the tri-state area, and that is Nathan's Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest, At Coney Island. Last year, things were virtual; this year, they are not; alas, though not coming from Nathan's, but Maimonides Park.
Nevertheless, current champ Joey Chestnut will be on hand, to try for his fourteenth win. I have no reason to doubt he will achieve it, but let me tell you something, darlings, I would not have his gastrointestinal tract for the world. And while he is only 37, this will catch up to him, in old age.
But, it is a day of celebration, so, Joey aside, have yourselves a fabulous Fourth, while staying safe, and remember sun screen, and to wear your best summer outfit!
Happy Fourth, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven’t had a hot dog in forever...
Have you seen how they are made
Norman,
A Happy 4th to you and Joe.
Think of you all the time.
The other day, I was getting up,
David was home, and the first word
out of my mouth was "COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!"
Victoria,
When I was a small child, you could
take me to the most expensive eatery,
and all I wanted was "a hot dog and
a milk shake." With my health problems at
the time, my mother was grateful just
to get any food into me, at all. At cookouts,
I only ate dogs. When I hit puberty, I lost
my taste for hot dogs, and from then on it was
hamburgers.
Like you, I have not had one in ages. And
somehow, I don't think I want to see or know how
they are made. I never even have read "The Jungle,"
by Upton Sinclair!
ugh I Did read it.
My father was a Lithuanian immigrant, like the main character.
I still wish I had not read it.
Doesn’t that gorging ruin one’s insides?
Victoria,
Thanks for the heads up.
I think I will pass. I will
stick to Sinclair Lewis, instead.
