Yesterday we had a dozen and a half of friends and relatives visiting and I was asked to bbq hotdogs wieners

Some brought their own, others were catered to.
This is what I had to deal with,
Veggie dogs for the vegans.
Turkey dogs for those who don't eat red meat and don't like chicken dogs.
Chicken dogs for those that don't eat red meat and don't like turkey dogs.
Polish dogs for those who don't like REAL wieners.
Little wieners for those who don't eat the above or the big wieners.
And finally, big footlong beef wieners for those who know what a real hot dog is.

And of course, the veggie dog people wanted theirs cooked first so they weren't contaminated by those with meat in them. :cuss:

Oh, the veggie dogs? They looked just like a short fat *bleep*. And tasted like carrots. Yuk.

What a crazy, demanding world we have become.

If you have friends and family that are so picky, I would make them cook their own dinner.

BTW, Costco Hot Dogs done in the instant pot then on the BBQ are the best!

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

I love my current family. Well, until their food demands and hypochondriac whining takes over.
But I love my ancient relatives even more. They're so easy to get along with.

Everyone is picky.
And I, being the family patriarch was directed by the family matriarch that it would noble and honorable for me to cook. Hey, bbqing wieners is the extent of my cooking skills.

An instant pot? We're on the beach, at a motel. All that's provided is a little BBQ.
Instant pot? :cuss: it.

I'm a celebrity in Lumby. You'd sneak off too.
Just because you've always done it that way doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid.

Eye roll.

Hey, I think it's a great ad.
And I'll leave it at that.

24 hour flu sweeping thru our family, three households.
Pretty well everyone has had it but me and a baby. Just waiting my turn. :200:

Please wash your hands after reading this. It's very contagious.
