today... right after getting lab work done at foote hospital... i made a quick stop by tommy's coney stand here in jackson to pick up a couple dogs & a dew.
jackson has more coney joints than any town i've lived in. the meat is more like crumbly ground beef (think maid-rite burgers) and then they add mustard and onion. it's not the runny messy coney stuff i'm used to getting. but i like it even better. tommy's is literally a stand on the side of the street in a neighborhood a couple blocks away from downtown. and there's always a line-up. obviously he's only open in the summer.
dave midkiff introduced me to the joint... er... stand when i first came to town. today i got it "to go", but tommy has plastic lawn chairs set up on his side yard where you can sit and take in the neighborhood ambiance. that's where midders and i have enjoyed a few dogs together.
okay... so i'll admit hotdogs are not on the list of "super foods"... and yes, i had tommy leave off the mustard and the onions. i didn't want to burn out my new stomach lining immediately after it's just grown back from the chemo.
but it's proof that i must be feeling better.
just in time for another round...
...but thank you G*D for a few days of heaven before re-entry to the hot place!!!
i want to know why i was never given the chance to have one of those delicious looking dogs???? maybe i was hanging with the wrong shafer. : )))
