The Guadalajara Dog

Last summer I took Laura Martin to Pinks for a chili cheese dog. While waiting in line we reviewed the extensive menu and specifically noticed the Guadalajara Dog and commented that I seriously doubt that they put Sour Cream on their hot dogs in Guadalajara. I checked with Leo and Alexander (two of our associates in Guadalajara) and they confirmed that Sour Cream, tomatoes, onions and relish are found on hotdogs in Guadalajara.

Tonight I decided to make two different style hot dogs, the first was a guacamole dog and the second was the Guadalajara dog. The Guacamole dog was just ok, I'd never make it again but I definitely recommend you try the Guadalajara dog, it was absolutely fantastic.

Sonny Simon Sauer

Rachel and Kevin have been keeping the baby's name a secret (I think because they can) a couple of months ago I dreamed that they had named the baby Simon. While Simon is a fine name I remember thinking in the dream, "Everybody has been waiting for 9 months and the best you could come up with was Simon?" I haven't given it further thought until today when I was speaking with Laura and the following conversation ensued:

Kim: Well the baby is sunny side up
Laura: Aw man
Kim: I hate it called sunny side up, reminds me of an egg. The medical community needs to come up with another description or can they just say not face down.
Laura: Maybe they'll name the baby Sonny
Kim: Sonny Simon Sauer

Sandbox, Toys, and Shoes

We made an impromptu stop at the Krueger house today and the kids were immediately in the back yard playing. The sandbox had it's cover on and the three of them were playing on the swing set. About ten minutes later Becca and I went outside and found the following. Can't wait for the beach!!!!

For Three and a Half Years......

My blog looked like this:
















Accent colors changed from time to time but overall the look and feel stayed the same since 2006. Today, it was updated and so here I pay tribute to the first 3 and 1/2 years of the Kim1Champ blog.

P.S. Not sure I like the new format, we'll see if it sticks.

New Way of Making Tacos

A couple of weeks ago I decided instead of layering the toppings on my tacos I would combine it all in a bowl and then scoop into the shell. FANTASTIC! I will likely never make the traditional way again. Ingredients included, Cheddar/Jack blend, shredded beef, tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole,onions and lettuce with a touch of oil and cider vinegar.
