12oz grilled burger rare and well seasoned on a homemade sesame bun, some grilled zucchini on the side. Homemade molasses cookie for dessert. I've seen Europeans sneer about Americans and hamburgers but they can F off.

That looks so good. I'm low carbing right now and found myself staring at the bun...*sigh*
Hamburgers are awesome and people only talk shit because they're coping with seething jealousy. They literally hate us for our (delicious) freedom. Also, I am married to a Europoor and can vouch for the fact that they love burgers, pizza, fried chicken, dogs, etc. If you take a Frenchman shooting in the morning and grilling by the pool in the afternoon, they will be singing the Star Spangled Banner by nightfall.

I love molasses cookies.

Courtesy of the wife working from home we have had this week fresh white bread, wheat bread, banana bread, both chocolate chip and molasses cookies, and of course the buns. They were so good we just devoured the first one hot with butter. My condolences on the low carbing.

Can you talk a bit about how you make the bun?Schlegel wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2020 2:41 am Courtesy of the wife working from home we have had this week fresh white bread, wheat bread, banana bread, both chocolate chip and molasses cookies, and of course the buns.

It's one of the things I haven't done yet during the Great Bake of 2020.

Mrs. says she used the King Arthur "Beautiful Burger Buns" recipe except she used the bread machine to do the mixing, kneading, and initial rise. If you use them same day you will need to toast them to dry them a bit to stand up to burger juices, after a day you can just slice them in two, butter and grill the inside on a flat grill or pan and they will be just right when warm and browned. King Arthur is her preferred flour source, she mail orders their stuff all the time.

This month's new food experiment was homemade sharwarma complete with pitas from scratch. Total success, except for the kids won't eat it. They are in the bland phase. More for me!
This is the best new recipe since schnitzel. The fresh pitas are awesome, a huge step up from even the ones bought at ethnic groceries. Hard to beat eating them still warm... I cook them on a hot griddle a couple minutes, flip once.
Lemon garlic yogurt sauce of course, and I also made a red chile sauce that's peppers, onion, cumin, mustard seeds, olive oil, and vinegar.

Sounds great! My personal favorite way to enjoy shawarma is with amba (mango pickles)-- either as a topping or on the side.Schlegel wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 3:10 pm This month's new food experiment was homemade sharwarma complete with pitas from scratch.
