Today is a holiday here, so for lunch I made hot dogs for the girls and I before we headed off to our village's 'May Fair.' I have a few left over and have been wondering all afternoon what to do with them as I really don't want hot dogs for dinner too. It's been quite a dilemma, I can tell you. So finally the idea comes to me, and I decide I will cook them in a curry for my dinner. With my plan formulated I went to the store buy the ingredients I need for my new creation 'Simon's Hot Dog Rogan Josh' which I plan to serve with Basmati rice, maybe a Peshwari Naan, and wash down with a glass or two of Pinot Grigio. Has this potential culinary delight been attempted before? Well frankly I really don't care because the pioneering spirit that drove my ancestors to conquer a third of the globe is now surging through my veins as I prepare myself to embark on this voyage of culinary discovery.
I'll report back...

Speaking of pioneering spirit, today is the 68th anniversary of the beginning of the evacuation of Dunkirk. If my memory is correct I believe over 700 ships and boats crossed the English Channel over several days to rescue 300,000+ stranded soldiers. This was truly one of the most heroic moments of WWII.
So as we wind down our Memorial Day celebration over here, I will have a glass of wine with you this evening in honor of your culinary adventure and the great spirit and determination of your ancestors!

Well the curry was a truimph, and henceforth 'Simon's Hot Dog Rogan Josh' shall be known throughout culinary circles as my signature dish.

This was truly one of the most heroic moments of WWII And so was born the phrase 'Dunkirk Spirit' that is in every day usage here in the UK and means backs against the wall courage, or a never-say-die mentality, defeat with honour etc. Cheers!!
