Pigs in a Blanket and Dissertations
April 24th is National Pigs in a Blanket Day! For your dissertation party you want to bring the pigs in a blanket…
Having to write a dissertation is a bit like being asked to bring an appetizer to a party.
Oh no! I’m not good at this! How do I do this? When will I have time? What if I do it wrong?
For the party you need pigs in a blanket. For the dissertation you need a simple action plan.
But what ARE pigs in a blanket? For the uninitiated, we’re talking about a sausage of some kind wrapped in a bread of some kind, often served as an appetizer.
Forget about making something fancy that’ll take 20 or 30 steps. Pigs in a blanket are the ticket. You make them like this:
- Slice hot dogs into bite-sized chunks.
- Wrap crescent roll dough around each chunk.
- Bake.
- Eat.
Simple? Yes!
Easy? Yes!

Just pick something simple and get it done. Those pigs in a blanket will be perfect for your graduation party.
