Another night spent putting far too much work into what is essentially junk food.

You know those little mini-hotdog rolls? I'm not a fan of hot dogs, but those things are fucking delicious. For my version I used kielbasa, cut an inch long or so, and wrapped them, along with a small strip of bacon each, in dough that had been boiled in baking soda water. Cooking science fact: boiling dough in baking soda water is how you make pretzel dough. So, browned kielbasa chunks wrapped in bacon wrapped in soft pretzel, with some spicy brown mustard to dip them in.

For a side, I made mashed potatoes. Didn't have any milk, so I added an extra chunk of butter, a little water, and some chicken stock, then dumped it all into the food processor. I've never used the food processor to make mashed potatoes before. Turns out, it mashes 'em real good. They came out looking like KFC mashed potatoes, and if you don't like KFC mashed potatoes you need to turn in your white trash card, elitist.

Mixed in a spoonful or two of saurkraut once the potatoes were ready, along with some bacon crumbles. Final result: pretty damn good chow. Piggin' out like a BAWS.
