I can't be too snooty. My husband told me only yesterday that a steak
he made for me a few months ago (which I absolutely LOVED) had been
pan fried. That should teach me not to work so late!

I love burgers too. If I don't have a burger at least one a week, I'm
left craving it.... so I'm probably on your schedule of 3 times a
month. I said that because until you made me thing about it, I
thought I ate burgers more than that. REALLY!

OK, I'll buy that arguement. I'm the type that throws some potatoes
in the oven to "fry" (I cut use potatoes) and cook the burger
inbetween. Burger, oven fries, salad (this week, it's Caesar)... is a
satisfying meal for me.
