Burgers

Sheldon said:

Today there was top round (london broil) on sale, BOGO $4.99/lb. So I
picked two nearly identical weight 2 1/2 pounders... what to do with
5lbs of beautiful beef, burgers of course.

Got to try my new grinder, excellent:

Lets back up a bit, started with a stiff gin and tonic.
Got real lime and a real stemmed cherry:

I weigh em, 10 ounces per, bigger than some implants:

I form burgers kinda ovate, fits a roll but a nicer presentation as a
chopped steak smothered w/onions n' shrooms, ovalte I can fit all
seven in my pan:

Before anyone asks the reason the color of the gin and tonic is less
red in that last picture is because it's my second, and I didn't add a
new cherry so didn't add another slug of cherry juice.

Okay, didn't cook any tonight, I froze them all.

Anyone who doesn't own a real meat grinder has no idea what/who
they're missing.

Why would anyone add a cherry to a gin an tonic? The first picture
was frightening 🙂

Is there a reason it appears there is a telephone shaped thing on your
cutting board?

Because that's the people LIKE gin & tonics to be made when they have
Chronic Taste In Ass Disease.

I had no trouble viewing this picture (or any of the others, for that
matter), so your above remark puzzled me a bit.
My newsreader allows me to click on the above link, and in turn that
launches the pic in my browser, no problem.

Doesn't it work like that for you? Just curious.

No matter the color of the gin and tonic, WTF, you go grinding up burgers,
spin a yarn with photos to boot and then don't cook one or two???

Rather drink than eat?

Ya liquor'd up BUM!!!

There is something "non standard" with the way he posts his Urls. They
do not show as a normal link for me, either. I've been on Usenet for
over 10 years and this is not a normal thing. He's doing something
odd.

Tinypic has a copy feature now, one of the links is in that format.
I don't have a problem with it because I cut and paste, anyway.

Hmmmm. Wonder if its "browser-related". Only "odd" thing I have noticed
is that it has that *[/IMG]* in the link. My browser "strips that out"
automatically and "fixes it up". In other words, when I click on the
link in my newsreader and then look at the URL it puts in the browser,
it transforms it to:

http://i12.tinypic.com/2ziyj4w.jpg%5B/IMG

which works just fine. Dunno if all browsers do that. I am using
Firefox, BTW.

Something odd started happening about 2-3 weeks ago -- I wonder if MS gave
us another security update? When I tried to post a tiny URL last week I was
unable to make one with the usual blue link. This week I had no problem.
But I still am unable to get the traditional link from Sheldon's postings.
I tried following some gabbled info on links and security from MS and as
usual got the usual BS. As soon as my computer is so secure I am no longer
able to post anywhere I quit.

I know the feeling. I did quit - using MS that is 😉

So, you still can't get to those links he posted?

If you read Sheldon's post thru Google Groups, you can easily click on the
links.

No. Hence my comment. ?? I use Outlook Express, and Sheldon's
are the only "links" that show up this way because he is posting them
stupidly.

I tried Firefox and really did not like it. I see now that it is helpful for
viewing stupidly posted URLs, though. Good to know.

How do you spice yours? I have been enjoying rosemary
tucked under the skin of baked breasts or put in the cavity
of the whole bird. And whoever told me to put an onion in
the cavity really did a lot for my roasted chicken.

I also put mine in for 15 minutes on 450, then add a cup of
water so the browned juices won't burn and turn it down
to 350 for the rest of the cooking time. How do you do yours?

The beef looks good..LARGE patties and very lean.

Placing a url between [IMG] tags [/IMG] allows you open the image on a new
page without opening a new browser at tinypics and other photo sharing
sites. It is the IMG Code line instead of URL Link. You should be able to
cut and paste just the URL. Either works for me though.

I'm reading through Google Groups and my browser is Safari. His links
open just fine in a new browser window, so I'm not sure what the
other's complaints are either.
