Best Hamburger - ever!
Comments (1)"Made Eggplant Lasagna tonight because did not know what to do with all the eggplant from the garden." Au contraire! You knew exactly what to do with the eggplant! LOL! Thanks for the burger idea. It sounds good. Jim...See MoreBarnmom, I made your hot cocoa mix!
Comments (4)I really like these cocoa, mocha recipes! I'd like to create my own peppermint variety since I'm almost out of Starbuck's variety. What would I use to add that peppermint flavour? Crushed candy canes? Peppermint extract? How to add liquid peppermint extract? To the sugar? Sorry to hijack thread but need some ideas. Thanks!...See MoreThe Perfect Hamburger?
Comments (50)Yes, he's a cute little guy, and an absolute terror in the pasture, LOL. He's also fuzzy and makes you just want to grab him. Fortunately, they're a lot less cute when they become 1000 pounds of bull, and start pushing everything and everyone around! I love my animals, my cows are treated just like my horses, I love 'em all. I pet them and play with them and feed them treats and they follow me around. Even when it's time for them to become beef they don't go into a trailer and spend time in a stock yard, away from their herd in a strange place. I have Dallas come to the farm to slaughter and so they are born here, spend their lives here and only leave here after their death, which is as quick and painless as I can arrange. If I had to eat commercial beef, I'd give it up too. They way they are raised and fed and treated offends me, it's a cruel industry and not a good life for those animals. So, I raise my own. It seems contra-indicative, but I raise my own beef because I DO love my animals, and I believe that everyone should remember where that meat comes from and the animals that produced it, and make their lives safe, happy and contented and their final demise as quick and painless as possible. rgreen, I like a good veggie burger too. I actually eat meat about 3 or 4 times a week, not even every day. I've even kind of lost my taste for bacon and ham, although I know that's heresy, LOL. And yes, I raise my own pigs and chickens too. Now, back to those burgers. olychick, Grandma used to tell me to mix ice chips into the meat and that they would produce steam as the ice melted and keep the meat moister, so it's not a new concept at all. As for size, a quarter pounder is a bit more even than I want, maybe 5 burgers per pound or even 6, although mine don't shrink appreciably and some fattier meat might. I don't want it really crunchy on the outside, but I do want a bit of browned "crust", and warm in the middle, not cold. Annie...See MoreCocoa powder still good?
Comments (44)Lucille, I appreciate your thoughts. I do agree that Snidely is making some assumptions and assertions that are in error. It is sad that even in the affluent USA, many families are really only about 9 meals away from hunger, and 3-4 paychecks away from falling into bankruptcy. Snidely, it is very important for 1 income families to plan and prepare for financial ups and downs. They can do it admirably by making lifestyle choices which many may consider very frugal. They should be celebrated for that foresight and gumption! Many one income families would be WORSE off if the 2nd person went to work outside the home (day care costs, clothing, transportation and other expenses). It is just as important for 2 income families to plan and prepare – often the two incomes are necessary for daily living, and when one of those incomes is interrupted, it could be a calamity. I am in a 2 income family, and we economize in so many ways so we can live well and save for the future. We started out at zero (again) just 15 years ago and have had a couple of trials in the meantime. Ready money is not always available – so “food insurance” is very important to keep a family afloat. Our savings (including retirement savings) in the past was wiped out several times – none in our control. 1. Two lengthy job losses over the years – not eligible for unemployment, 2. One 6 month serious illness – not covered by insurance, 3. An employer who folded – skipping out on paying our last two paychecks and an entire year’s worth of tax withholdings (which we had to pay in again to the Feds/State) (and we lost the health insurance we relied on-see above), 4. Finally, a financial institution failing that took away an entire year’s worth of income that had been saved. If worst comes to worst, the powers that be will not foreclose, garnish, or attach your food supply. Food stamps are not always available -- in everything that happened to us through the years, we only qualified for a total of 3 months of food stamps. We choose to grow our own, shop wisely, and store extras on hand so we can feed ourselves and others far more cheaply than those who choose not to economize the way we need to. I wish I could keep my food costs down as low as Grainlady's !...See More
