On Memorial Day, we had just finished a little cookout just my husband and I, when I went to shut the porch door ahead of our cat slipped on a slick spot on our porch and fell. During the fall I heard something in my left knee pop, and knew I was probably not coming out of this unscathed. I went to the doctor the next day and found out that I had sprained my knee, just a tear in my MCL. I have been given a massive brace and advised to RICE (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate). In my convalescence I have learned that I am really shitty at resting. I just don't sit and do nothing well.

Gourmet Hot Dogs?

I just had to share that Seth and I went today to  Dirty Franks Hot Dog Palace  and it was so good. They specialize in gourmet and unique hot dogs and they totally delivered. I had the Chicago which consists of Fresh tomatoes, diced onions, Vienna® Sport Peppers, pickle relish, dill pickle, yellow mustard, & a dash of celery salt and the Puff the Magic Popper which has cheddar cream cheese, jalapeƱos, & real bacon bits. They were so good. Dirty Franks is also locally owned and plays only local music, which makes them even more awesome. Highly recommended if you are ever in the Columbus area. Here are some visuals: The sign!! A Dio art piece!!!  So much kitsch!!  More kitsch Michael Jackson over the bar All the dogs over the bar.          My Meal...so good... so bad for me.
