Kielder feast

We trundled up to Kielder yesterday afternoon to take part in Northumberland Lights 2008 installation, Out of Water.

You were fascinated by the palm trees in the lagoon, and by the Clangers-esque noises in the trees. As it started late, we had a feast in the car park, tucked up in the front seats of the car so the windows steamed up.

You'll need:

lots of hot dogs, in hot water in a vacuum flask (make sure the neck of the flask is wide enough to be able to fish them out!)
finger rolls/hot dog buns - the trashier the better
fried onions - doesn't matter if they're cold
a selection of ketchup/mustard (although preferably not with a best before date of February 2007, like one of ours)

Peel apart a hot dog bun, and line with a carpet of onions. Fish out a hot dog, and place it in the middle. Add a squidge of ketchup/mustard, and you're good to go.

When we came back from our magical walk, we warmed up with a flask of hot chocolate and some French chocolate biscuits in the shape of dinosaurs. Sadly, we need to go back to France for some more now.
