Hot Dogs on Broadway

Flub a Dub Chub is the Chicago style hot dog place down the street from me.

I didn't know this until I went in, but Chicago style hot dogs are a big deal. A classic Chicago style dog consists of the following ingrediants: a Vienna beef hot dog, tomato slices, 2 pickle spears, onions, hot peppers, celery salt, relish, and mustard. NO KETCHUP! I had no idea! I ordered the "Flubby," but without onions or relish. I am trying to teach myself to like tomatoes, so I left them on. It was really good. The "Chubby" is a Flubby with cheese. They also serve burgers, veggie dogs, and chili cheese dogs. The fries were crispy and yummy, too.

Josh got "The Ultimate Mr. Big," which is a giant chili and cheese dog.

Halloween was Here

I didn't make any posts in October. I needed to take that month to get into Chicago and midwest living. I started working a lot more and hanging out with more people.And! Halloween happened!

Halloween starts in the costume shop.

Since my birthday is on Halloween, we went to Phoebe's Cupcakes for birthday cupcakes.

i forget the name of this one, but it was a carmel apple flavor with a sugary candy razorblade.

 

eyeball cupcakes. we had to get two. these were classic funfetti flavored.

While we were at Phoebe's, children were piling in to go trick or treating at all of the stores around the neighborhood.

I went to a really fun show on the fourth floor of a giant loft space. Everyone was dressed up to perfection. I had about an hour to put a costume together since I was gone the whole day visiting with family, so I just went as a zombie. It was easy and fun. I could have done better, but whatever.
