Burger or Dog

America's birthday is upon us.  We celebrate the 4th of July next week.  Millions of grills will be fired up for this Summer holiday.  I don't know about you but I don't even consider eating healthy on any holiday so it some kind of meat or so called meat and lots of it.  The easiest is a hamburger or hot dog, very little fuss and mess.  If you choose a dog your looking at 300-350 calories with bun and a few toppings.  That's not too bad but I eat at least three and maybe more.  A dog contains lots of processed stuff along with lots of sodium.  On the other hand if you choose a burger your looking at around 500 plus calories when you figure in the bun, toppings and that almighty got to have cheese.  A few more calories than a single dog.  It's has less sodium but it's true red meat which is not really good for you.  So which do you choose, burger or dog?  I'll have neither, well kind of.  I don't even own a grill so I'll throw some rope sausage in the crock pot, turn the pot on low and let it cook a few hours.  I'll make a foot long sandwich using Italian wheat bread,, store bought potato salad, corn on the cob and an apple pie or ice cream.  Happy Birthday America
