Sonoran Hot Dog -- YUM

Tucson
First of all, I went to the hand doctor yesterday and he took out the remaining stitch and "freed" me!  I can resume normal use of the hand, as tolerated!  But, I do have to go to physical theraphy for the hand, which I will start tomorrow.  The hand feels really good and is healed, so perhaps I am on the way to getting my life back!!!

Today our friends from Montana, Gordon and Denise and Al and I took off on a quest to find a Sonoran Hot Dog.  What is a Sonoran Hot Dog you ask?  The Sonoran hot dog may take the phrase "with everything" to new heights. It starts with a hot dog wrapped in bacon. Then you begin piling on the beans, grilled onions, fresh onions, tomatoes, mayonnaise, cream sauce, mustard and jalapeno salsa. Add radishes, cucumbers, whole chilies and even mushrooms, if you want.  We went to the best place in town, El Guero Canelo down in South Tucson for this delectably delicious treat.  We were first amazed to find it very crowded; but more amazed by the price!  $2.50 gets you a Sonoran Hot Dog with all the trimmings and a bottle of Coke--a real glass bottle too!  El Guero Canelo has been dishing up dogs since 1993 and we think it is well worth the drive.  However, we did discover they do have a dog stand a bit closer to us so next time we will try it. 

Sonoran Hot Dog, and yes, there really is a hot dog in there!

TheWeather has been better here the last few days after having rain for a few days; but rain is predicted for the weekend again and we are having company for the weekend.  Al's cousin Christine and her husband Denys from Australia will be here.  We were hoping to do something fun like go to Tubac or someplace like that, but if the weather is rainy that will be a no go!  Oh, I know, we will take them for a Sonoran Hot Dog!!!!
