Let me say first off that I could have written this days ago if “Unnamed Local Cable Company” could have straightened out my Internet access. Between the guy who moved out of here not canceling his account, several non-specific system problems on the ULCC’s end and some employee errors [at least, they all blamed whoever I'd talked to last, every time I called], it’s taken a week.
I will say, if you live in Nashville and ever have a problem with ULCC, I hope you get to talk to Patsy. She is a blessed saint and deserves twice what she’s being paid, whatever that might be.
Now, back to business.
At the old house, I had really been enjoying my gas grill. It’s one that hooks into the gas line. This is something I legitimately inherited from my dad, and it cooks like a dream. However, new house has no gas appliances. To run a gas line just for the grill — well let’s just say it’s not in your price range or mine. So I have to wait for the death of a major appliance before I can hook it up.
So for the first time in more than a year, I cooked hamburgers inside over the weekend. I think there are few foods in this world better than a homemade hamburger. Here’s how I make mine:
Ground chuck
An egg
Healthy dose of Worchestershire
Teaspoon or so of garlic powder
Salt & pepper
Sometimes I’ll get creative and throw something else in, but usually that’s about it. And I’m pretty boring on the cheese end too: American will do it for me.
I’ve had your fancy gourmet burgers, but darn it, a cheeseburger is supposed to taste like a picnic table in the backyard with potato salad and brownies for dessert. It should not taste like wine, fancy china and getting dressed up.
Sniff.
