hotttt dogs, git 'cher hottt dogs

Ingredients:

1 package of soft lady fingers
1 pint strawberry sorbet, gelato, or ice cream
1 mango sliced into julienne strips
1 kiwi sliced and chopped into small cubes

using a tablespoon, scoop across the pint of strawberry to form an oblong. You may need to shape it a bit to form the correct hot dog shape. Set in the opened lady finger and add one strip of mango for the mustard and a little bit of chopped kiwi down the other side for the relish.

Other embellishments could be:
sliced strawberries - tomatoes
flaked coconut - chopped onions
poppy seeds - poppy seeds

gougeres - Sinskey style

Today I found the best recipe ever for making gougeres. You can find it at:

I didn't use the egg wash and they still come out beautiful!

I also used a small cookie scoop to get the batter onto the cookie sheets. To flatten any points, dip your finger in water and gently pat the point flat.

If you make bigger ones, they can be used for tasty sandwiches with a little ham or turkey.
