Hot Dogs with a Nordic Twist
The Nordic countries—Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland—have given the world things like Skype, Angry Birds, Of Monsters and Men, Lars von Trier, the Noble Peace Prize, and, last but not least, Nordic Noir. In other words, the Nordic countries are not afraid to put their own twist on things.
Something else that they have put their own twist on is the hot dog.

How- To Tuesday: Cooking With (AP) Style, Making Pizza With The Associated Press Stylebook
I was browsing my copy of The Associated Press Stylebook the other day (because, really, how else could one possibly want to spend a lazy afternoon?), and I found myself in the food guidelines. Among the common culinary conversions and the proper spellings of all sorts of ingredients (from angel hair pasta to johnnycakes, to York peppermint patties), I was excited to find that the editors had included a delicious-looking example of the proper recipe-writing style. I started to drool a little, then I made a grocery list.
Tonight’s menu: PIZZA WITH RAINBOW CHARD, GOAT CHEESE AND EGG.
Hey, if it’s AP Style, it must be good for you.
