Balance of Food

Could not resist this collection of recipes from Congressmen and Senators. Generally speaking, they aren't healthy, but hey, it's a chance to make something inspired by some of the 535 people in Congress. Besides Larry Craig's Super Tuber, perhaps the most disturbing one is Grape Dogs from Steven C. LaTourette. Here is the recipe: 2 bottles of Heinz chili sauce One 8-ounce jar grape jelly 2 packages of hot dogs, sliced into 3/4 to 1-inch pieces. Mini, bite-sized hot dogs can also be used. Heat chili sauce in a medium saucepan until boiling. Blend in the jelly and stir in two packages of your favorite hot dogs, sliced. Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. Serve warm on toothpicks. Grape dogs can also be prepared in a crock pot. Not my cup of tea.
