Yep. We're awfully lucky.

ObFood: Tonight, we stopped for hamburgers on our way home and got one
for the kid. Also, I got the best ever grape tomatoes for a dollar a
pound, and I'm gonna snarf a bazillion of them for "dessert".

I love grape tomatos. They are nice sliced (so they will not shoot out the
sides) with raw onions on sub type sandwiches, too. I have been cooking very
little this summer, mostly eating simple stuff like salads and sandwiches
(and watermelon!) at home, with the occasional big old greasy fast food
meal. Today it was a Bojangles bacon egg and cheese biscuit with fries. Big,
seasoned, half-floppy, half crispy, perfect potatoes. Mmm. Also, (and this
should wow the rfc crowd, haha!) I have discovered Shake N Bake, using it on
chicken legs after soaking them in milk for a few hours. Excellent cold, in
salads, or snarfed over the sink off the bone.

I don't need to hear about your night job, slut.

I know the style. I've been eating yogurt and/or cereal for breakfast,
salad/fruit for lunch and or dinner time frame mostly, with an
occasional indulgence. I have some BOGO coupons for Culver's double
deluxe burgers that expire today, so it's likely I'll indulge that
today. I also have some steamed burger with onions and mushrooms I made
yesterday for a more healthy loose meat sandwich yesterday. The left
over will likely go towards a chili on Saturday or Sunday. Guess I'll be
burgered out by the end of the week-end and switching to chicken :-) But
now is the right time to enjoy the salad and fruit as they are at least
50% off around here this time of the season.

Man, my cup runneth over with restaurant coupons. I have buches of
BOGO coupons for any sandwich at a particular McD's. Del Taco put out
a sheet of coupons, so I searched the recycling containers in my old
neighborhood for those, and got lots of BK and Hardee's too, as they
were in the same mailer. I have a bunch of Entertainment books that
are good until Nov. 1, and some restaurant.com dining certificates.

White Castle has a coupon out now too: http://whitecastle.com/craversaver/coupon.html

I'll be getting some other good deals today, as the church is having
their garage sale. Got my eyes on a bike (that needs a little work),
a runner sled (for next winter), an old Monopoly game (for the extra
hotels and such, since my cat likes to relocate them), and a few other
things. I'm lining up early. I want that bike.

I've never heard of a coupon being location specific!?!

That paints a terrible mental picture. We used to get poor people going
through curbside trash looking for aluminum cans and they would toss
anything in their way onto the curb. We called them human roaches.

An upgrade? HA!!! Either those are really teeny tiny burgers or there's
something unusually large about the small drink and regular fries. Ah, the
magic of advertising.

I'd give you my Trek 24-speed if you were local. Lately, my hills have
continually gotten steeper and steeper.

Wait a minute. You rag on people who eat margarine, and you eat at
McDonald's? Yeesh.

Hmm, what is this "steamed burger?"

Yes indeed. Man, they had four pints of really nice blueberries (not wild, I
know, I am deprived!) for $6 the other week the most expensive grocery
around, then they were four for $5 couple days ago! I had no idea they are
full of Omega 3 fatty acids, like fish, did you know that?

The key was he said "loose meat." Just throw the hamburger in a hot
pan and stir it like crazy until it's all broken up and cooked through
- it shouldn't get browned which would make the bits hard and dry. It
just gets "steamed."

CC -

I will often times get burger (doesn't matter the % of fat for this cook
method) season well, put in a steamer rack on top of a coffee filter
that sits inside a smaller size stock pot. Two cups of water boiling,
add the steamer rack to the pot, cover and cook for appropriate time
(depends on thickness of the burger. In the above case, I mentioned
loose meat so the form was more like a maid-rite which is just highly
seasoned burger that is in loose format, and served on steamed buns with
mustard, chopped onions, and pickles. I could have also made them in a
hamburger shape (I have those round egg molds for frying eggs for muffin
sandwiches) but since I was making some for chili, I didn't bother.
Throw in a couple of buns to steam before serving. But I did saute
mushrooms and onions in olive oil to add to the burger after I broke it
up. Chopped raw onion is also a normal topping for the sandwiches.

The burger cooked this way is pretty ugly coming out as it's gray, but
it does taste good, and is a healthy way to cook it.

The remainder that I'll use for chili will go into a saute pan with
cumin and chili pepper (I use chipotle), stir until somewhat dry, and
add to chili base (and yes I use beans).

Bob

My dog even benefits as he gets some of the greased water to his dry
food before disposing of the water :-)

In sandwich form, you could also add shredded cheese (I uses cheddar or
mozzarella)or if you formed the burgers, sliced cheese also works well.

Picked up two packs at costco, alittle sea salt and they're a terrific dessert.

She's a really good kid. She's had a hard few years, and she's coming
out of it well.
