Laginappe - Hot Dog Buns

     "Made groceries"* on Monday and I forgot to buy the hot dog buns for Fat Tuesday.  Wayne and I were planning on hot dogs with chili and Zapp's Voodoo chips for lunch while watching Mardi Gras on WWL-TV on line.  Wayne offered to go buy buns, but I thought, "I bet I can make them."  It was a fairly easy recipe, and Wayne no longer wants store bought buns. 
    
     *Commonly, New Orleanians  "make" groceries rather than buy them - from the original French-speaking Creoles who used the verb "faire," which means "to make" or "to do."

     If you've never been to New Orleans you might want to listen to the video Yeah You Right on You Tube.  If you want to read a New Orleans Lexicon , you can read the terms commonly used by New Orleanians.  I didn't realize how much of a "yat" I am until I moved.
