Build your own or why Rachel Ray sucks!

Okay - I know that I tend toward the misogynist men in life.  My favorite TV  shows are House - and vintage CSI - LV only for Gill Grissom ( okay so Nick was eye candy but hey shoot me) so clearly I love men who hate women or at least some women.  Tony Bourdain hates RR.  I never really wanted to just because he did - until I actually watched her suck on TV and actually made some of her suckage (yes that is a noun). 

Mis en plaz

Money is tight in the Howard/Sullivan house so though I wanted to make good quality burgers on the grill I knew that I would not be able to afford the big ticket crazy sirloin and even then I could only do enough to feed everyone but me.  SO here I am the "thinking outside the box girl" ohhh RR said that chickpeas made great veggie burgers.  I'm in!  I love hummus - I love garlic - I freakin love pretty much every mediterranian (yeah I flunked spelling) thing on the earth but her burgers were HORRIBLE.  Horrible.  horrible.  INEDIBLE HORRIBLE.

Now dear reader don't dispair we had a back up plan - I am no one if not a girl with a plan and PLAN B -   so I ate the kosher hotdogs that Dear MIL had forgotten about and were about to perish (not a happy death I might add) and salad.  CERTAINLY I did not starve and if worse came to worse there was really good dinner from last night. 

But my kidsand family got really great burgers with all the fixings (pickle, onion, tomato, lettuce, garlic, mushrooms and about 45 kinds of mustard! etc) and if you think they used any of it you are smokin crack!!! LOL!  These are the kids who eat to live not vice versa.  I'm okay with that.

But suddenly MOM decided tonight DESPITE MONTHS OF THE CONTRARY that she doesn't like burgers though ever other time we have made them she's HOOVERED them like nothing.  I have decided that cyanide may fix me so that I don't have to be 93 and mess with people but not today.  Though I've heard it tastes of almond.  And that is good.
