You are perfectly right as for the lemon. I also always add more than ANY
recipe says ;o) and enjoy the taste very much. If you ever make any
vegetable soup - from fresh vegetables or powder - add lemon too! And you
can put it also in almost every sauce that goes with vegetables and all
cream soups... I am absolutely lemon-addicted!

It's worth the effort! I use to make at least the double amount of dough,
shape the burgers and deep-freeze those that are not meant for immediate
consumption, at first separated from each other on a baking tray. Then,
after they are really frozen, you can put them together in a plastic bag and
store them in the deep freezer. Thus you have only once the basic work for
two or three meals.

Btw., that's something I do rather often with all kind of food.
