    I had an interesting, tiring day yesterday. I dug out the power
    scrubber to clean both patios, the sidewalks and the gutters. It's
    been a couple of years since I used the darned thing. Right off I
    lost control of it and broke out a garage window. It went downhill
    from there. Towards the end I finally got the hang of it and
    remembered how to use it.

    You didn't injure yourself, though did you?? I don't know, cars that hit
    things, power scrubbers that go wild, do mechanical objects have a
    problem with you??? :-)

    I was really tired last evening and wanted a simple meal. I threw
    together a salad (from pre-bagged) and made pigs in a blanket. I
    wrapped hot dogs in refrigerated crescent rolls and threw 'em in the
    oven. I think I had the oven at 325 or 350 and they cooked for maybe
    25 minutes or so, just until browned. Meanwhile I sliced some
    potatoes and deep fried them, making french fries. Looking in the
    fridge I discovered I was out of mustard. Mustard is essential for hot
    dogs IMO. Too tired to go to the store so I made my own mustard from
    powdered mustard. All in all, it was pretty good and took very little
    time. Very little mess to clean up too!

    Sounds nice - simple and tasty. Are crescent rolls just a crescent shaped
    bread - so that refrigerated crescent rolls are just ready to cook bread
    dough, or is there something different about them? I've never seen this
    type of thing in the supermarket here, so I'm curious.

    Dessert was Edy's vanilla ice cream (fat free, sugar free and quite
    good) topped with fresh strawberries. Midnight snack was air popped
    popcorn with parmesan cheese.

    Yum!

    Michael <- decided NOT to wash the Jeep with the power scrubber

    Probably a good idea....

    Nothing was injured but my manly pride <G>.

    Glad to hear it.

    mechanical things because I'm not used to doing them myself. I'm used
    to professionals being hired to do it. Well, right now we can't afford
    a gardener or a handy man so I'm the self elected Handy Dandy 😉

    I sometimes become the Handy Dandy - do as much as I can, anyway - mainly
    because I usually can't get Rob to get up and do the job. Have to badger
    away when I need something drilled, though, as he'd have a conniption fit
    if I used one of his drills <g>. Some jobs I just have to pay someone to
    do, though, or do without.

    They come in a cardboard tube and can be found in the refrigerated
    section next to the dairy items. After breaking the tube and hauling
    them out, they look like little triangles of dough. I just stretch
    'em out and roll the wiener up in one triangle at a time. Here is the
    site of the brand I used last night.

    Oh, OK, shaped like a croissant. Are they a similar sort of dough to a
    croissant? We don't have these here - no Pillsbury brand products that
    I'm aware of - and I've not seen anything similar. I do vaguely remember
    when I was a munchkin (so sometime in the 70s, probably) that my Mum
    would buy cinnamon rolls or something similar in a can like that, ready
    to bake.Haven't seen anything like that since then, though.
