Since it seems to be war-war-war-war here, I thought I’d spell Meryl a bit with a pointless and silly vignette from my workday.
Today, Deskmerc and I went over to the nearby deli for lunch and had hamburgers.
The deli normally put on tomatoes, lettuce, mustard and/or mayo, and cheese.
However, I had this song going through my head:
Imagine there’s no ketchup. No mustard, too.
So my burger didn’t have mustard. Or ketchup. Or mayo. Or tomatoes.
Just pickles, onions, and two things I won’t mention since this is supposedly a Kosher blog.
Sometimes, it’s good just to switch things around when it comes to hamburgers. Heck, I used to slather deadly amounts of wasabi on my burgers until it became ordinary to me, so I switched to another odd combination of ingredients (guacamole and sprouts)…
Until the next burger came around.
So, folks, I challenge each of you to have a hamburger in an unusual way the next time the opportunity presents itself.
Leave off something you like. Put it on a wheat bun instead of a white bun, or maybe patty-melt style on weird bread. Mash up the meat with chopped onions… or chopped garlic… or chopped pineapple. Cook it with mesquite coals… or planked with cherry wood…
What’s the worst that can happen? You barf it up?
Fine. You’ve got room for another interesting burger. Repeat until it stays down.
Okay, you can get back to the whole war thing. I’m done.
Excuse me, but it’s not all war, war, war.
I was just talking about how sexy I think Dan Gillerman is.

Due to dental work, no biting for me for at least a week.
Jerusalem’s hamburgers are safe from me for the time being.

The Road to Kosher…
A few years ago, about the only nod I gave to kosher was not eating pork (for a few years before that I left an exception for Mary Chung’s Suan), and, if pressed, I’d note that the commandment stipulated that one shouldn’t boil a kid in its mother m…

Peanut Butter on the top ketchup on the bottom…. Left over from my childhood, my children are totally grossed out. I love it though.
