My birthday, Canon SLR, Mini Burgers and Honeydew Melon Margaritas

I apologize for the time between posts. It seems like everything is going so fast and there is not much time to just sit down and just type out my thoughts. Although I have not posted frequently, I am still cooking on a daily basis and hope to document everything soon.

A couple of things are going to be happening soon. I have been working on a project that “some” of you may already know about. It will be a big thing for me, as well as for this site, I will let everyone know once the details get nailed down. It is something I have wanted to do for a long time and with the help of a few friends "I Think" it is going to happen.

I also just received a new camera for my birthday. In the past I have used a digital point and shoot but have just acquired a Canon SLR that I think will bring a new quality to the pictures for this site. Until I can sit down and start formulating more posts here is a ‘snapshot” from this weekend.

Now on to the food, we made mini-burgers/sliders this past weekend. I came across a recipe for making your own ground beef using 50% top sirloin and 50% untrimmed brisket. This mixture worked out pretty well and yielded a very juicy burger. I topped mine with onions sautéed with beer and added blue cheese. We forgot to get potatoes for the fries so I found a bag of tater tots in the freezer – bad choice. The tots suffered from a bad case of freezer burn so I just ate extra burgers to compensate. We also made honeydew melon margaritas.

There is also a new tomato garden, that I am still working on, in my backyard.

I have made my own ground meat mixture (my kids call them steakburgers) using just my food processor, and they turn out so great. Your little sliders look fabulous!

Can't wait to hear your news!
