Simple Burger For Beginning Cooks

Making a simple burger couldn’t be easier. If you have a toaster oven you can use the broiler setting. During the winter you can use your oven. There is a top heating element for the broiler setting. You don’t need any special equipment. Just a wire rack and a cookie sheet. 


For my seasoning, I used a Canadian Chicken seasoning. It smelt delicious. I used a teaspoon total with the ¼ teaspoon for salt and pepper. Just use whatever seasoning you have and like. 


Meat is an important decision. You want to use good quality of meat. That will depend on if you are a beef burger person or a turkey burger. If you are in the position to get access to meat that has been hunted for subsistence even better.  You can feel free to season your burger as you shape them. 


Cheese. I used a Gouda I got a Wal-Mart for $1.99 to $2.00. You can use whatever cheese you like. Just make sure it will melt the way you like. Usually, your semi-soft cheese are the best choice here. 


Rolls. I love the rolls at Burger King. They are awesome. When I can I will get the Ball Park rolls with sesame seeds on top because they are the closet thing I have found to the BK rolls. 


Toppings. I am a very simple person. I don’t want a bunch of stuff. I just want cheese sauce or mayo, mustard, ketchup. I love the special sauce at McDonald’s. I found recipes to make it at home on Pinterest. Recently I found Todd Wilbur’s version and it’s not bad. 




Cooking. Once you have your broiler set up then decide do you want it fully done like my daughter or slightly pink like myself. That’s something you will notice from the picture and video. I like my burger just past the raw stage but not so done when I go to reheat another later it will be cooked to the point of having the texture of a flip flop. Everyone is different. I tend to do more than one meal at a time when it comes to burgers. I want one for that meal and one for the next day.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

Feeling Ignored

  I didn't mean to ignore this site. I have been busy with the government shutdown, and I have to say, what a freak show. Let's break this down: 1. There is a budget. Once it's clear that we won't tolerate the freak show any longer, the budget will be put in front of us. Of course, it won't have an accurate date. The date it was actually signed.  2. What are we currently focused on? The shutdown. We are looking at the fact that Israel is attacking Iran, again, for having the very same thing they have: nuclear weapons. We also have nuclear weapons in America. We also have a nasty habit of using weapons of mass destruction. Dioxin was used in Vietnam; it was later called Agent Orange.  3. We are no longer demanding the release of the Epstein and Maxwell files. Of course, by the end of October, I am sure this will be in the headline again because one of the other party will bring it up.  4. Prices. The lamestream media isn't talking about the real prices. I went ye...
