It was the last morning of our Springfield trip, and there was one more thing on our bucket list. We had already visited the Lincoln Presidential Museum, Lincoln’s Tomb, and Lincoln’s New Salem. We had gotten lost while on hiking in the woods and searched for an original stretch of historical Route 66. We had even eaten horseshoes! But there was one thing we hadn’t done yet. We hadn’t had an original Cozy Dog.
I didn’t want to hang out around Springfield until lunchtime just to eat a Cozy Dog, but Ed had done his research, as he so often does when it comes to food! The Cozy Dog opened in the morning, so we could stop for one before we drove home.
What is a Cozy Dog, you ask? A Cozy Dog is a hot dog on a stick, surrounded by a deliciously crispy fried layer of corn meal. Yes, you got it. It’s a corn dog!
Did I mention that it was also Ed and my wedding anniversary? We knew we wouldn’t have a romantic dinner out that evening, so we settled for an anniversary kiss next to the “cozy” dogs! It was a very, um, romantic breakfast…with our two children.
Ed and I are going to rectify the absence of an anniversary dinner by going out on Saturday night, to celebrate our anniversary two months after the actual day. I’m really looking forward to this weekend–it’s been a long time since our last date night.
As much as I love corn dogs, I hope we have something a little more gourmet for dinner!
I hope your meal will be good. Although a corndog sounds good to me right now as well š

Their corn dogs are very good! It was probably the best one I’ve ever had.

Isn’t Lincolns tomb amazing? We took the girls there when they were young. I was surprised how moving an experience it was for me.
Lincoln’s tomb is amazing, Kathryn! I was glad we took the time to go see it.

Aw, that corn dog looked yummy, but still hope you get your anniversary dinner out this weekend sans corn dog š

We are going out this weekend as well, our annual night out before the holiday craziness sets in.
Yay! Are you going to your usual spot? We’re hoping to go to Wildfire if my niece or sister-in-law gets here early enough.

WE are going to our usual spot. It has become our December tradition. Wildfire is great, I hope you make it there.
That looks yummy.
It was surprisingly good!

I hope it is one amazing meal that does not involve fried food. Possibly a bottle of wine and dessert?

Yes, to the bottle of wine and dessert! Hopefully there will not even be fried foods on the menu!

Corn dogs are yummy! I don’t eat them very often, but when I do I always want more!

Corn dogs are awesome, but I don’t know about having one in the morning LOL It’s been a while since I’ve had a good corn dog!

It was a little crazy to eat a corn dog in the morning, but we had already had the hotel’s free breakfast…so it was more like a super early lunch!
