The sack of superfluous leftover hot dog buns sits on the counter, reminding me of my failures to get a proper headcount, smelling of 4.99 on fire, growing crusty with my own privilege. I can't stand the waste, like I was raised with a victory garden in the backyard, dropping my girdle off at the rubber drive. I force buns on everyone. I use them for sandwiches and to remove eye makeup. I consider freezing them. They laugh and decay. The night before their best by date, I stay up late googling what to do with leftover hot dog buns. Turns out there's a bread pudding that you can cover with caramel ice cream sauce. I frantically ask my husband if he would eat a bread pudding made out of hot dog buns. He reminds me that he'll eat literally anything, but we don't have enough eggs, and I have slightly too much dignity, so I grab the buns and take off running into the night, in search of birds. | | | |
