I'm bemused by burger conversations. I grew up thinking that burgers were a home made summer delight. We made the burgers in larger batches, a specific blend of lean and medium beef. Seasoned and tightened a bit with oats and egg. Formed (with the help of children) using a "patty stacker", then frozen in batches of 8 in the chest freezer. Cooked on a charcoal bbq. Garnished with sweet onion slices, and often thick slices of beefsteak tomatoes just picked. If we were at the godparent's, there'd be optional cheese from Pine River cheese, factory outlet close-ish. In my teenage bread baking stage, there might be homemade potato or brioche buns. I have had a few commercial burgers in my life, none compared.

We are culturally SO far away from what feeds us. I totally see it in my grocery store customer's carts.

Homemade burgers can be absolutely amazing Bette, no question. My family loved my mom's homemade burgers, and dad's bbqed ones in the summertime. We often had amazing feasts in July and August of bbq meat(s), corn on the cob, and fresh made summer salads

That was burgers in my childhood, too, and I have done homemade burgers myself in the past. But there's only two of us here and one doesn't really like burgers so not really worth the effort anymore.
 
Some skills are taken away by capitalism and the story that you don't have to do nothing ... just buy into it! There are limits to how a capitalist can get away from their belief ... and then they loose their skills also ... it is just how it goes if you don't use det*ete ... as de t ante ... so we hold off out here ...

Isolated on the top of capital? Some fall for it as it comes down to the finals ... all for a story, myth, or other function ... no*dead ... yet many are totally insensitive to much!
 
Good morning! How are we today? Speaking of visits to one another, and discussing burgers, fast food or homemade, interesting chat. We gather in spirit round the Coffee Cart to continue to discuss the things that come to mind, as well as imbibe tea and coffee; and enjoy the offerings of our Wonderbaker. This morning the WB has produced a delicious batch of bear claws for us to indulge in. The tea water is boiling, coffee is freshbrewed, and the bear claws are fresh and warm. All is ready, everyone is welcome. Come join in the fun!

Such is the essence ... not much to it but to charge in ...

I am dog sitting a couple of old dogs for a few days. Why do they bark at nothing?

Stumped as they can't read and their sense of smell arouses them? Therein the essence ... fair moneas ... make it up as you go as there was nothing to ante up ... un be gotten? Thus controversy ... it drives something ... we often don't understand the wherewith all ...
 
So many people do nothing and expect capital ... thus posts and shafting's ... as many are roasted for their understanding that was delinquent ... skewer?

That 's que 't ... and folk do the most alien things to connect ... some are even hard to accept ... curious?
 
Or ... worse. Mwahahaha.

Very quiet around here. None of the usual dogs. Maybe folks are away. I know the family next door have left. No cars in the driveway and no kids playing in the backyard.
 
We had living with us for a time a parrot and a hedgehog. They were interesting pets

I am helping my Korean neighbours with their backyard. They haven’t mowed or done anything with it this year , so the grass is too high for their little electric mower to cut it. There are lots of invasive roses in it and one bush has died mostly and has an oak growing in it ( probably the reason for it dying) that was now 12 ft high. So we started with cutting the dead branches and the oak and whipple snipping the grass, digging the roses out as we go and cutting the thick weeds that the snipper would ‘t cut. Worked two and a half hours until both batteries were dead. To be continued tomorrow.
Found a huge anthill which the boy plans to study….
Checked for ticks, thankfully, none found.
I was exhausted after and needed pancakes for supper as comfort food. Tomorrow I will take them for ice cream after.
 
Cat people vs. dog people is one of the classic Internet duels. I am a cat person but fond of doggies, too. If I had to pick one to share my home with, though, it would be a kitty, hands down. My family had both for a period in my teens and early twenties.

I used to be solely a cat person, being simply polite to dogs and trying to keep them from eating my face without offending their owner. Recently though, I find I love lots of dogs. Cats are cats -- lovely and mostly predictable. Dogs are more like people. Some I adore, others I don't (usually poorly socialized ones), or they scare the bejesus out of me.
 
Good morning! The weekend is here, let us enjoy and appreciate it. The old discussion has risen again, dogs vs. cats. Maybe dogs bark at strange things, but cats seem endlessly fascinated by red laser dots just out of their reach on a wall... Anyway, we can continue this chat, or start a new one, as we join together round the Coffee Cart. We'll discuss it over coffee and tea, while enjoying the Wonderbaker's talents. Today we have muffins in various flavours to enjoy.
The coffee is freshbrewed, tea kettle boiling, and the muffins are warm and fresh. All is ready, everyone is welcome. Come in and join the fun!
