Today is a lazy dinner day. Dinner will be a burger with swiss cheese. If
I feel inspired I might saute some button mushrooms and turn it into a
mushroom-swiss burger I've been using the old Tupperware hamburger press
set my mother gave me 20-something years ago to form and freeze hamburger
patties. I knew this would come in handy one day! Ah yes! Get beef ground
in bulk, then form and freeze into patties, stored neatly sealed and stacked
in the freezer. <G>

I'll bake some of the Publix (store) brand skinny "fast-food style" fries to
go with the burger. They turn out crispy outside and tender inside.
They're as good as any fries McD's ever made, except they're baked, not deep
fried.

When my mother's old freezer died I gave away three packages of Ore Ida
frozen hash browns to my neighbor. For some reason she had tons of those
and also of onion rings. Here, when they're freshly made, they're called
"scattered" fries. I call them "home fries". They aren't shredded or
formed into patties.

But what I'm cooking tonight are truly fast food french fry style fries.
Long skinny strips of potatoes. Frozen, yes, but they come out nice and
crispy. The burger is the main thing, of course. I love swiss cheese on a
burger I'll lightly toast the burger bun. Yum!

This time of the year I start craving burgers. Yesterday we went to
see a movie (Training/Dragon) and afterwards went to Bobby's
Burger Palace. This time I got a Miami burger. So good.

I got onion rings with that. This are some massive onion rings, you
get 4 of them. Pretty good, especially as mosty onion rings aren't
very good at all. Also had a vanilla malted, to die for!

Are you sure they aren't partially deep fried before they are frozen?

Believe it or not, we had burgers a couple of nights before ... ones
that we hand ground for the first time using this manual grinder.
They were great but that was a chore. That's why I'm expecting
a new electric grinder to show up in a couple of weeks (they're
backordered).

I like your grilled onions. I like to saute some onions and mushrooms
to have on hand for burgers and steaks during the summer.

A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine happened to mention that she'd bought a
Hass avocado, and hadn't decided what to do with it. I advised her to slice
it onto a burger with swiss cheese, and call it "I can Hass cheezburger."

I took my niece to see that movie today, What did you think? I really
enjoyed it. I will admit to having some teary eyes at the end. I'd go
again. That is my seal of approval.

Her point was that they are baked and not deep fried. It certainly
doesn't read like that's limited to the final preparation.

Oh, I really enjoyed it. There's a good reason it has a 92 on
Rotten Tomatoes. I'd see it again, too. Funny, before Thursday
or so I had never even heard of it.

She was talking about how she prepares them to eat.

I dunno about getting pickled with vodka - too bland. Maybe Blue
Sapphire gin martinis... hey summer is coming, how about rum for
Mojito's and Cuba Libre? If you'll be the bar tender, I'll supply the
tiny umbrellas!

But you said you don't drink "umbrella" drinks! In fact, you said that
people who *do* drink "umbrella" drinks aren't really drinkers at all!

They are big girl drinks that don't come with umbrellas; I'm
decorating them.

UGH! Didn't you say you don't drink? That's one reason why.

Blue sapphire martinis? I wondered what they were. A friend of mine

You call *that* a Warp Core Breach? Here's what I was referring to:

Combine equal parts of:

Light rum
Bacardi Select
Captain Morgan
Bacardi Limon
Fris Vodka
Blue Curacao
Bacardi 151
cranberry
pineapple
Ruby Red Grapefruit
guava
orange juice
sour mix
grenadine

In a suitably-large vessel, put a couple teaspoons of water, then put a
chunk of dry ice. (The water will freeze, which will "glue" the dry ice to
the bottom of the vessel, preventing it from floating.) Pour combined
liquids over the dry ice and serve with a straw immediately.

The drink is not all that far removed from a Hurricane.

Served at the new defunct "Quark's Bar" it's 10 oz. of liquor alone!
Meant to be shared. They did make a mini WCB with 5 oz. liquor.

And here's how it's supposed to look ....

I meant to type NOW defunct Quark's Bar. It was part of the "Star Trek
Experience" at the Las Vegas Hilton. I've never been to it, but
"trekkies" I know said it was a lot fun -- especially the bar! I've seen
reports that it may be back in a new location this year in downtown Las
Vegas. Maybe I'll get the chance to try a Warp Core Breach then!
