Aquatic Emergencies:Know how to safely respond
Know how to recognize an emergency. Many water-related emergencies can happen quickly and silently. Can you tell if a swimmer is in distress or is drowning? A distressed swimmer or drowning victim needs help immediately!
All the way with hot dogs
You could probably write a complete book about hot dogs and still leave something out. Everybody has a favorite.
Most of the time I tend to stick with what I know, which consists of a pack of wieners (which I call weenies) from the grocery store, buns, onions, ketchup, mayonnaise and slaw.
I’ve never been a hot dog chili fanatic because that’s just another way to add calories to a food that doesn’t need any help in that department. Slaw dogs are at the top of my list.
However you like your hot dogs, these recipes could make the whole hot dog experience a little richer.
And not every hot dog served requires a bun. Sometimes, if you’re in the right mood, a just plain weenie is good.
