I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

You never were expendable, you always made me feel alive

Do you feel singled out, do you feel less than all the rest
You know it’s interchangeable, the spotlight and the pain
I wanna get on top of this, I want to build that trust again
And if I give it all I’ve got, I’m sure you’d do the same

And now we’re in the middle of, a transition in our lives

Again I face the fear in this, I see a place for you and I
And we can make the most of it, cause our passion never dies
And if you don’t believe in me, I choose the path then change your mind
And you can take me to your room, or wherever you may hide

pursuing the perfect burger!!

Still continues!! It’s been an obsession for many, many years now!! More of a passion, I mean I’m not fucking mental, lol. Guess it was that great burger at Allen’s on Sunday that’s got me inspired again … plus with warmer weather, week-end golfing with buddies days right around the corner, more eager and excited!! And I’m not talking about any Joe-Fucking-Blow-Burger either … I’m talking about ‘the classic burger’ with simple ingredients and toppings!! Cheese (Aged Cheddar, Emmenthal, Jarlsberg, and maybe Muenster being acceptable) lettuce, tomatoes, onions too … and perhaps bacon … nothing more!! Now, I’ve made my share of burgers with a variety of added topping … I make a killer poblano pepper onion relish for my Southwestern burger, I make a great Greek burger … Turkey burgers, and Salmon burgers too. When it comes to the classic, the burger you could possibly call the BEST ever, these don’t qualify, they can’t!! Lately, I’ve heard of some silly toppings … mango chutney?! WTF?! Zen danistrulytheman, zen, lol!! Plus, and this is important, so pay attention … it’s imperative NOT to overcook the meat drying it out, essentially taking away any chin dripping juiciness!! With this in mind, today I woke early, researched meat grinders online, secured an incredible deal locally, drove far out of my way (Markham) and bought this bad boy!! Now, I’ll be able to grind my own pieces of meat, taking the necessary precautions from a health perspective, allowing me to safely cook the meat as little as possible … rare, or medium-rare, that’s it, the way a perfect burger is intended to be cooked!! And I don’t mean steak tartare burger, but believe me, I will try this at least once in the future too!! Hey, you want bean sprouts and asparagus stalks on your well-done shoe leather burger … knock your socks off, lol!!
