1.Take hot-dog from fridge.
2.Fill a 2qt. pot half full with water
3.throw number of hot dogs you are going to eat + one into pan.
4.Take one raw hot-dog and tease family dog with it.(SIT UP-SHAKE HANDS ,AND WALK ON HIND LEGS) before giving it to him.
5.Bring hot-dogs to a boil (caution! don't let them boil to long or will they will split.)
6.Take hot-dog from water and place on -bread-(shanty town never had buns except for special occasions,like weddings and such)
7. Put mustard ,catsup and anything else you can find to pile on top(relish and onions work best)
8.Take extra hot-dog from boiling water and throw on floor and watch family dog attack it ,trying to eat it without getting burnt.(Make sure dad isn't anywhere close when you do this, or you may be the one eating the hot-dog on the floor)
9.Now pick up your shanty town hot-dog with all the toppings and fold the bread around it(If you used really shanty town bread it should break in half on bottom of hot-dog.
10.Upon taking your first bite a real shanty town hot-dog will explode in your hand dropping mustard, catsup and all other toppings down your hands arms and onto your cloths.
11.This is where you will stop laughing at the dog and more than likely without being able to help your self--blurt out a cuss word!
12.THIS IS THE TIME YOU DRAW YOUR SHOULDERS UP TO YOUR EARS WAITING FOR THE SMACK UP SIDE THE HEAD FROM YOUR MOM WHO JUST HAPPENED TO BE BEHIND YOU TO HEAR YOU USE THAT FOUL WORD!
And to tell you to sit at the table when you are eating.

Well that's the secret to making and enjoying a Shanty Town hot-dog
I grew up on them and have the lumps to prove it!

BTW: my fav recipe is Blackened Redfish from Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana cookbook.

At university I made it a couple of times. First time it set off all fire alarms. Second time round we made it for about 10 people. The amount of smoke generated resulted in a small crowd coming to our flat checking how we managed to create so much smoke without having set the appartments ablaze.

GREAT,EASY,grilled chicken.

Not really a recipe,more like a prep or marinade.
A disgruntled waitress once told us the secret to her restaurant's Teriyaki Chicken.
Simply thin skinless,boneless chicken breasts flatwise
Marinate overnight in Catalina dressing
Grill with a little salt and pepper.

We absolutely LOVE this and make it for nearly every barbecue.
Please try it,you'll love it

Sometimes its the simple things!
For example Polenta.

250 grams of fine grain corn
1000 ml water and/or milk
1 tbs salt
50 grams parmigiano, grated.

Boil water/milk and salt,
when it boils turn down to low and add the corn.
Stir well, let cook for 10 minutes
switch off the stove, add cheese, stir again
let sit for another ten minutes.

Super simple and goes with almost anything or nothing at all.
All kinds of modifications possible.

I'll second that. I love polenta with cheese. i like to add a bit of garlic and rosemary, then put it in a casserole dish with some thinly sliced provelone on top and bake it untill the cheese starts to brown. It's mighty tasty.

It's really simple and you can use it for a lot. I usually use it as a salad dressing (which it what it is) but then I also use it on sandwiches too.

1 cup sugar
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup oil (I use canola or vegetable)
2 tps salt
1 tps black pepper
1 tsp orgeano
1 tsp celery seed
2 tsp garlic power

Mix is all together in a mason jar and shake it until it's mixed. Takes about 5 minutes to make.

Do you have to shake it 4.5 minutes? Why is it that everyone seems to be adding sugar to salad dressing?

Chef Paul Prudhomme's
TURDUCKEN

Many years ago, I went with my family to my aunt and uncle Cassie and Joe Luquet's place in Mandeville for Christmas Day dinner, as we usually do. When I got there, they said, "Hey, we've got a surprise for you!" They drew the hype out until the "surprise" was removed from the oven and placed before me. "A turkey," I said. "Big deal!" They smiled and shook their heads. On further examination, the turkey looked a little saggy, as if it didn't have a backbone. It didn't. In fact, there were no bones in it at all. In fact, it wasn't just a turkey at all; it was a Turducken -- a turkey, stuffed with a duck, stuffed with a chicken, with oyster dressing inside the chicken, andouille dressing between the chicken and the duck, and cornbread dressing between the duck and the turkey.
