i realize i owe this thread another review from last week, so i'll just put up both of them this week

for tonight:



ingredients:

camembert
sauteed mushrooms
peppered bacon
dijon mayo
caramelized onions
heirloom tomatoes
brioche roll (the real deal this time, not my home grown attempt)

but i dont like mushrooms

robotboy robotboy robotboy

always robotboy

Have you guys been keeping up with the cost of this challenge? Seem to be a lot of "exotic" ingredients that aren't used on more than one burger at a time.

there is just too much mayo used on these things

not really tallied the cost. i just add another $15 or so to my grocery bill and that usually covers it. i recycle most of the leftover fancy ingredients on lunch sandwiches or omelets later in the week. gruyere, dill and balsamic mayo make a microwaved veggie patty 100x more palatable

i don't like mushrooms either. or cheeseburgers....anymore.

although, i am looking forward to next weeks burger, The Crabby Louie. It has crabs!!! and who doesn't love a wad of meat in their mouth that's covered in crabs?

robotboy robotboy robotboy

where are these reviews goddamnit

Yeah make with it

i got behind and now it's time to play ketchup

see what i did there?


<prove it all night>











THE BOSS


Such beautiful ingredients. I fell for prosciutto hard, so much so that I piled the rest on top of the veggie patties I take to work. It looks like a cartoon steak, knawmean? We also couldn't find rosemary ciabatta's, so Shera, in her imfimite wisdom, bought some rosemary, and some ciabattas, and viola. MacGuyver in the kitchen.




Wisconsin said merlot was on the menu. It seems like we've had the R&G before but I don't want to rifle back through 35 pages to check. It could just be that there is a bottle-in-progress every time Shera and I get together.




The Bosslet we made for my son was kind of cute, so I took a picture of it.




Live from Asiago Park.




Score
This one felt like it wanted to be something it couldn't quite attain. I wanted to feel the tang of tart asiago and the blunt olive bitch slap of garlic-olive tapenade, all carried down my tunnel of love on the spongy chewy vehicle of rosemary ciabatta. I wanted another Big Ben, is what I wanted, but Mediterranean style. With those faggy unAmerican greens the president eats. Arugugugla.

But no.


out of 5 John Gottis, because Shera thinks I missed the point on this theme and that it's about mafia bosses.

I like that wine.

it's not bad. the white version is my fave

I know we've had something by them, and dug it, but shit now I can't remember which variety.

i got flecks of olive oil from the tapenade on the front of my brand new american apparel hoodie

It may've come that way from the store...

i owe a review for the camelot, but this is up for tonight




monterey jack, biff patty, crab meat, avocado, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, caramelized onion mayo, sourdough roll

femtoots and i have been looking forward to this one for a while, so unless something goes horribly wrong, expect some sort of gushing review

also, CBT on wednesday??? we're all kina effed up these days

Not sure if the Crabby Louie seems appealing to me. Love crabmeat, Love hamburgers, but i'm not sure about the combo of flavors on a sandwich.

If you take the patty off of the burger, it sounds delicious.

i just got back from whole foods in search of the freshest crab meat one can buy in landlocked indiana. i'm no crabologist, but my ready-made choices appeared to be wild-caught in cans which was gray in color, or processed fake-crab, which is the traditional pink and white stuff you see on that burger up there. it took about 11 minutes of walking around in the bread aisle looking pensive and 4-5 texts with femtoots to decide on getting a half pound of these:

which means we now also have an activity for the kids

Yes.

Also, why exactly do people live in Indiana?

speaking for myself, my mortgage is $500

no clue why my grandparents chose to migrate in the days of yore

we have secretly canadian though
