We're back!
What a reliable (and much needed), long weekend at Table Rock Lake. Nothing but giggles, giggle juice sipping, and family bonding to keep our head on straight. Before we left for the lake, we were coating the garage floor with epoxy, painting, and ripping out carpet. This house shiz is hard work, y’all!
Did we mention we are doing the big ‘ol move this weekend? Things are getting serious. As in, we probably should pack. Even though we have 4,852 things to do before the move, our motivation to stuff a box with our crap is basically at a 2/10. To be honest, we would rather pound dirt. Sighhhhhhh.
However, before we have a moving meltdown, let’s talk about these savory French croissant hot dogs. We think we were having major wanderlust when we dreamed these bad boys up. Last year at this time we were getting ready to head to Biarritz for two weeks. So, what’s a girl to do when she can’t lay on the grande plague while eating a croque monsieur? We make our own version of French street food at home.
YOU GUYS. We're telling you this diggity dawg takes like four seconds to make. You can make these sans the bechamel sauce, but you must add bacon. Deal?
Now, who wants to help us move?
Buehler?
