My daughter and I butted heads over the pigs-in-blankets definition, too. She uses it to refer to hot dogs in crescent rolls and I use it to mean sausage wrapped in pancakes. Makes me wonder how much of it is regional, since, as connie said, her part of Pennsylvania used it to describe cabbage rolls.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
So unfair. I've been a good girl with letting my nails grow and today while I was updating the marquee one broke off as far down as possible without drawing blood. Workman's comp! I demand restitution.

Oh and where I'm from pigs in a blanket is sausages in pancakes.

mean sausage wrapped in pancakes.
This is closer to my understanding. I've never heard it used for cabbage rolls.

It's very much a German thing, according to my neighbors and that Wikipedia article Aimee linked to. I think the hot dogs and crescent rolls is probably Betty Crocker's '50s update of the traditional English sausage-and-pancakes.
Love that mid-20th-century comfort food. I am now so jonesing for hot dogs and crescent rolls.

We did it as hot dogs and crescents but my mother will be the first to admit we don't have a culinary tradition to stand up for.

I have skipped many posts. There was an adventure involving a broken radiator hose, and freezing MN winter weather last night.

"White Wedding" is about Billy objecting to his little sister getting married. Really. I wonder if his sister laughs at him, considering she's still hitched to the guy.
I've always thought it had a fairly creepy - of that special backwoods isolation type - subtext.

I no longer know what I thought pigs in a blanket was, since all of the definitions sound plausible to me. Also? Icky. But that could be my DH's influence in not mixing milk and meat -- after seven years of mostly eating this way with him the thought of certain combinations makes me queasy. Fortunately, that queasiness does not yet apply to a good cheeseburger.
My delivery people showed up at 9:21 a.m. Not bad. And now I have pretty chairs.
