Care To Share?
Current temp: 55. Last time I saw sunshine: about three days ago. No, wait, the sun peeked through for about 10 minutes yesterday! But despite the fact we'll be shivering around the BBQ (and fireworks will consist of coloured fog) we will be doing all that 4o'J stuff tomorrow.
So, anyone have a kick ass BBQ burger recipe they'd like to share? My usual is toss stuff into hamburger, coat in bottled sauce, cook till really dead. Oh, and lots of fried onions! and maybe a few mushrooms. Last time I put on some blue cheese and chipotle sauce. That was good. I'm culinarily adventurous, so bring it on! Most of the family works tomorrow, so I'm the one putting this altogether for when they get home. I'd like to try something new.

I was driving to the city for which I work for the parade and I passed a car dealership sign and it said 65 degrees! Sixty five in SoCal on July 4!? Man o man. New ice age? :-)

At 4:30 this afternoon here, it was 91°, and about 1,500% humidity. And I was out mowing the lawn. Fortunately, I had a bottle of Gatorade handy.
Anyway... I like to mix Worcestershire sauce or A-1 steak sauce in with the ground beef, as well as minced garlic. If not the sauces, I'll add chipotle and/or ancho powder. And don't forget to add a bit of salt.
