how's the weather up there on your high horse? how anyone can judge another person's spirituality, i'll never know.


i find zen neither important nor unimportant in my life. it just is. it's one ingredient in a big gumbo of spiritual philosophy. each ingredient makes the gumbo richer and more flavorful.

The answer to this question would take me from one-night stands to a precious friend, though not on the same track, and would probably ultimately bore you. I am not able willing to write about the spiritual journey in a way you would find entertaining.

For Sunday:

How would you summarize your use of condiments, particularly in the area of hot dogs? Are you pro-relish, for instance? Anti-tzatziki?

ketchup & mayo

:) Ah! Ah? Ah...

My friend read a book written by a man who spent quite some time in Zen Buddhist monastries and he describes Zen in such a way: you don't sit in lotus and mediate (say about a koan), but go live it.


With regards to hot dogs: I don't eat them often (more the felafel type atm), but spiced ketchup is the condiment of choice for me :)

only with mustard

^^ i seriously hope you don't squirt nivea on your hotdogs..

oh wait

*that* hotdog! :eek: :D

there are only two ways to eat a hotdog.

1) tomato ketchup, yellow mustard, and pickle relish
2) beef chili, cheddar cheese, and on special occasions a dab of yellow mustard

there are no other hotdog options. period. END OF DEBATE.

Ketchup, mustard, relish, onions and on occasion add some tomatoes.

whats relish? :confused:

Hot dogs/verboten/Ekeln :(

Sausages/ja with sauerkraut and brown spicy mustard :)

Frieda: chopped up pickles in either a mustard or a vinaigrette, revolting either way in the commercially sold versions -- some homemade versions can be edible.

Chili, jack cheese, sauerkraut, and onions overtop a horseradish mustard. Or a Chicago dog with peppers as hot as you can stand it. Otherwise might as well go for a corn dog -- those are the only things good with yellow mustard.

^ hot dogs with homemade relish...yum !

tzaziki dogs ? never tried it...sound interesting though...

the last hot dog i had was at Crif Dogs. It was topped with many things including pineapple. thanks to AKH for pointing me towards these new taste sensations.
