Teaching #6: If you are having hamburgers for your first anniversary…

Well, it has been a great first year, so we decided to celebrate with a hamburger for dinner.  We had dinner  a couple nights ago with friends of ours who have been married for 45 years.  On their 30th anniversary, Claus took Rosemarie to dinner at White Castle and they had 4 sliders each.  I guess we were inspired.  However, a slightly different type of burger was facilitated by my birthday present from my family today.  See below…

P1000641We picked up a local chuck roast from the  market today and I fired up the new meat grinder.  I washed my hands 12 times and everything was sterilized.  Trust me.  Jessie supervised and audited the process for the USDA.  A little salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce into the mix.

P1000643 Out came eight 6 oz patties.

  1. Those are some great looking burgers. If we have burgers when Jessie is here, they will be hamburgers from patties that I bought at farmers market on Saturday. Happy Anniversary!
