Depression Era Hot Dogs with Sherry

First, rob a liquor store, and get yourself some sherry. Then you can "afford" to make this. People ate this type of stuff during the 20s and 30s, so don't think you are too special to eat it too.

some butter
1 chopped onion
1 chopped green pepper
1 chopped stalk of celery
1 chopped tomato
2 hot dogs
4 tablespoons of sherry
salt & pepper

First, in a frying pan, fry up the onions, green pepper and celery. After a few minutes, add the hot dogs and fry up some more. Then add the paprika, tomato and wine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.

Serves 2.
