Crab Dogs

Ingredients: hot dog wieners, hamburger buns or dinner rolls, olives (optional).

Directions: Crab Dogs work best over an open fire. Spit your wiener on a stick, width-wise (so the long ends of the wiener are dangling to either side of the stick). With a sharp knife, make two cuts into each end of your wiener about 1 inch long. (this is REALLY hard to describe... sorry!) The result should be that on either end of your wiener you have four limp "legs".

Roast the wiener over the fire. As the meat cooks, the "legs" will stiffen up a little and curl. Once cooked, place the wiener in a hamburger bun so the "legs" stick out the sides, and add two olives as "eyes". And presto! You have a Crab Dog!
