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…
We 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.
My little sister was turned off by this picture.
Out came eight 6 oz patties.
And two of these beauties were eaten with a nice layer of blue cheese, some lettuce from the garden, and the famous baby pickle. Happy anniversary. The teaching from this post? Well, if you are going to have hamburgers for your anniversary, either make them White Castle, or grind them yourself…nothing in between.

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!
