Pennsic panic- daily update

I have done nothing for 2 days. Well... technically not "nothing". I did sew 1 button hole yesterday and 1 kampfrau tie today. Tonight is going to be a bit busy as I get all the hand work together to take with me to Vegas. Yup. Going to a conference and Im bringing hand work. I can multi-task. I absolutely must finish the champion favors and several odds and ends including the King's waffenrok before EKWC.

Today's lunch project is to finish up Melchior's vest button holes. There are only 5 or so left.

Man food

We watched the Alton Brown Good Eats episode, "Man Food" Monday night. Last night Telescope_merc wanted comfort food, so I made corn dogs. Mmmmmm...corn battered, fried, hot doggie goodness. I deviated from Alton's recipe quite a bit, but it still came out ymmy!

1 box Jiffy corn bread mix. Make according to box. Pour into a tall cup.
1 package of all beef hot dogs. Poke skewers into hot dogs.
Dredge hot dogs in corn starch, remove excess.
Dip hot dogs into batter. Do not get it too thick or it will take a while to fry.
Pre-heat oil to 375
Fry until golden brown. They float so turn 1/2 way through.

They come out light flaky and better than carnival food.
