ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

SATURDAY, MAY 28TH , 2022

The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades.  May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

25 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER

Life is a special 

occasion!

Today is National Hamburger Day which celebrates big juicy hamburgers.  Hamburgers and cheese burgers have been a staple  of the American diet for decades.  Americans eat 50 billion burgers a year, that’s the equivalent of 3 burgers a week for every person in the United States.

Although hamburgers originated in Hamburg, Germany, eating a burger on a bun is actually an American tradition.  The hamburger as we know it was most likely, invented in Seymour, Wisconsin.  Each year the city hosts a hamburger festival called Burger Fest.  That is where the world’s largest hamburger made its debut in 2001, it weighed in at 8,256 pounds.

To celebrate today, grill up some tasty burgers for dinner tonight.  Don’t forget about the delicious ways your can customize your burger.  Add bacon, ketchup, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo and your other favorite things. 

If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side

 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

A burger without cheese is like a hug without a squeeze.

Today is the day that DS#6 and his family are supposed to come in and work on planting flowers for me so it might great day for a burger.  

On my menu for today is a

Classic Hamburger

1 medium onion, chopped

1 Tbsp. oil

2 Tbsp. ketchup, divided

2 Tbsp. mayonaise

2 tsp. dill pickle relish

1 tsp white vinegar

1 lb lean ground beef

2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp ground pepper

4 hamburger buns, toasted 

4 slices tomato

4 leaves green lettuce

Preheat grill to medium high.  Combine onion, oil and 2 Tbsp ketchup in a medium sauce pan.  Cover and cook over medium high heat, stirring often until onion is softened.  Reduce heat to medium low and uncover and cook until very soft.  Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool

Meanwhile combine the remaining 1 Tbsp. ketchup , mayonaise, relish and vinegar in a small bowl.  Set aside.

Add beef, Worceshire sauce and the pepper to the onion and gently combine.   Form 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick.

Oil the grill rack.  Grill the burgers, turning once, until a thermometer reads 165 degrees. 

Assemble the burgers on toasted bus with the ketchup mayonaise sauce, tomato slices and lettuce.

Since I’ll be having company today, I think I’ll double the recipe and I always like cheese on my burgers so will add a slice of American cheese on top my grilled burger.

 I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS
