WIENER WEENIE DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Carefully unwrap the crescent dough. You want to keep two triangles together to make one long rectangle.
• Lay the rectangle down on a clean counter.
• Put a hot dog on the dough and wrap the dough around it, pressing the edges together.
• Move it to a cookie sheet.
• Do this for 4 weenie dogs, SAVING 2 hot dogs for next step.
• Cut the 2 remaining hot dogs into thirds, and save the 4 rounded ends for the dogs' NOSES.
• Put the 4 NOSES on the cookie sheet, with the crescent wrapped weenies, and BAKE for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough on the wrapped hot dogs is BROWNED on the edges.
• While the dogs are in the oven, prepare their legs and tails: for each dog, cut 2 pickles in HALF horizontally (crosswise) with a butter knife and carefully push a toothpick halfway into the cut end of each one. Choose another pickle for the tail and stick a toothpick in it, too.
• Cut (use a kitchen scissors) the red bell pepper into teardrop shapes for the floppy EARS.
• Push a toothpick through the middle of a cherry tomato and stick the ears onto each side of the toothpick, kind of hanging down.
• When the dogs come out of the oven, let them cool awhile on the sheet, and then stick on the NOSES with a toothpick.
• With another toothpick, add the tomato head with its droopy ears.
• Push the toothpicks holding the legs and tails into the dogs.
• Last of all, cut the olives into thick squares for the EYES using the cream cheese to stick them on.
• Now, the fun part. Admire your dogs, ask mom if you can take a picture of it and post to RZ, and then chow down. Make sure you remove the toothpicks first!

WIENER WINKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Take 1 slice of bread and spread 1 teaspoon of butter on one side. Turn the bread over and place a slice of cheese on the bread. Place a frankfurter diagonally on the cheese. Fold bread corner to corner around the frankfurter. Insert a toothpick to hold together. Repeat steps for the remaining frankfurters.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

WIENER WRAPS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add whole wheat flour, brown sugar, salt and vanilla; beat until smooth. Add enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead for 6-8 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Roll into a 20-in. x 14-in. rectangle; cut into eight 7-in. x 5-in. pieces. On each piece of dough, place a slice of cheese, 1 teaspoon ketchup and a hot dog. Fold edges of dough over and press tightly to seal. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

WIENER SCHNITZEL RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Spread breadcrumbs on waxed paper. Press the veal or chicken into crumbs after dipping in beaten egg, coating both sides lightly. Melt butter or Margarine in a large non-stick skillet. Brown meat on both sides over moderate heat. Breadcrums are better if a little garlic powder is added. Dissolve instant beef broth in boiling water. Add to skillet with Lemon juice, parsley and salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, simmer 30 minutes or until meat is tender. Serve over noodles.

WIENER SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F. Set out the flour, bread crumbs, and beaten eggs on plates or in shallow bowls next to each other on your counter and have a stack of parchment or wax paper ready. Season the eggs liberally with salt and pepper.
• Dredge the cutlets, one at a time, in the egg, then the flour, then dip in the egg again, then dredge in the bread crumbs. Stack the breaded cutlets between layers of wax paper and, when all the veal is breaded, transfer the stack to chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes and up to 3 hours.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat until a pinch of flour dropped into the pan sizzles. Cook in batches as necessary, making sure not to crowd the pan, adding fat to the pan as needed. Turn the cutlets as soon as they're browned, then cook the other side. The total cooking time should be 5 minutes or less. As each piece of veal is done, transfer it to an ovenproof platter; place the platter in the oven.
• Serve as soon as all the cutlets are cooked, garnished with the parsley and with the lemon wedges on the side.
• Cotolette alla Milanese "Veal Cutlets Milan Style" (Italy)
• Simply omit the parsley and you have the Italian classic on which veal Parmigiana-really quite an American dish-with its topping of cheese and tomato sauce, is based.
