Like I said on Wednesday, I love burgers.
We've had a long journey, burgers and I (with one constant: I like my burgers plain, just beef, cheese, and bun!):
- When I was very little, I would only eat McDonald's (dumb little Kayle!)
- As I got older, I ordered almost exclusively burgers anywhere we went, and I wasn't too picky on quality.
- In conservatory, I became much more picky about burgers, but would eat them...almost every day (thanks to a diner right across the street and my George Foreman grill...which I blame partly for my current inability to eat burgers I make...more on that later). My friend Nathan "famously" said: "You've heard of the Burger King? Kayle is the Burger Queen."
- Now, I rarely have a burger: only on a rare occasion where we go out and it's a place that looks like it has SPECTACULAR burgers (or if I know they have great burgers).
And, also like I said, I have always been fairly certain in my inability to make burgers myself (although Michael makes some delicious ones!) This recipe made me think, "...maybe I can do this?"
It's a pretty darn easy, pretty darn simple recipe. And with summer coming up, I had to share!
Michael was a big fan, he really liked these little sliders.
But...*sigh*
I couldn't eat them. I tried a bite and I just...well...didn't like it. For no particular reason. I still don't know what the problem is. Maybe it's all psychological. Apparently I just need to leave burgers to the professionals...or the boyfriends.
Do not let this dissuade you from giving these a try, they really did get rave reviews from Michael, and he's pretty smart. :)
