the bun. "But because they still have trouble
grasping things at that early age, the hot dog
will often fall out of the bun and they'll just
eat the two separately."
To avoid this problem, Mrs. McCune slices
the hot dog into bite-siz- e
pieces for the chil-
dren and serves the bun alongside, instead of
as a sandwich.

one or two dozen, it's still the same thing."
Her hot dog recipe, she says, makes for a
better flavored frankfurter. " And with baked
beans served on the side," she says, "you've

Matte's Hot Dogs
Line the bottom of a hot skillet with the fro-
zen hot dogs, being careful not to stack the hot
dogs on top of each other. Pour ketchup and
mustard on top of the hot dogs, then put the lid
on the skillet. Cook for about seven minutes on
a low heat, shaking the skillet frequently to
stir the hot dogs and condiments together.
Then serve.
