Jamie is a Nutter!

What a Nutter!

These burgers of which I will speak are satisfactory, but one suggestion from Jamie has me still scratching my head, my nicely thick coif of a head—like most of my food, just a sprinkle of salt.

So for our second night of this revolution we had the Cracking Burger (p 146). I used turkey meat that we buy at Costco. We have kind of gone away from a lot of red meat at home . . . just because. Joe was hoping that the cracker part would stay cracking, but it just was incorporated into the meat moisture—that’s blood—do a Homer ‘Ummm, blood.” It makes it seem just right.

The recipe calls for a cream or a Jacob's cracker. What the schnikies is a Jacob’s cracker; I still don’t know.

An aside I am sick of my scrunched up Apple keyboard. Why is their standard keyboard made for fairy and leprechaun hands and why do they not sell their own ergonomic board—ugh!!!

Back to the crackers, these Jacob things are probably British and remain suspicious . . . I remain suspicious as well--remember the redcoats?

I used water crackers and some pita chips. The burger is basically a meatloaf portioned off and grilled. Use the condiments you like and it’s a burger—nothing special.

Now to the Nutter—Jamie. Jamie, and I quote says: “PS I’d still make this quantity even if it was just for 4 people. I’d wrap the extra 2 burgers in plastic wrap and put them into the freezer.” Let me bypass the incorrect construction of ‘if I was’--should be were--and move onto the culinary calamity. Jamie, Jamie the Nutter, says to make the two extra burgers and freeze them. He is nuts!!! Reheated burgers are about the worst things in the world. A burger needs to be juicy (remember the blood) and flavorful and not a warmed up day old hockey puck.

Reheat a burger—you might as well go get school cafeteria food—Nutter!
