Chorizo Burgers

So I recently mentioned having used some leftover chorizo for spaghetti sauce. Said chorizo (AKA seasoned ground pork) was leftover from making some delectable chorizo burgers! First off, to satiate your undying curiosity, here is how the chorizo looked pre-ripping-open-of-package: $.97/lb is a glorious price for such a thing. So, making burgers from chorizo seems [...]

Avocado goodness, BBQ, and Burgers

I recently got back from a looong drive from Denver to Nashville and back, and while I don’t have pictures, I do have words (just a brief few). First of all, if you are ever in Illinois, Iowa, or Missouri, and you like barbecue, you should check out Bandanas BBQ. There’s at least one off [...]

Beefy burgers and tofu burgers from the grill, and why there’s nothing wrong with eating both

So I’m trying to enjoy this grill for as long as I can before a bunch of snow gets dumped on top of it. See, before I came out to Colorado I’d heard it was crazy dry here and that I’d need to bring multiple gallons of lotion with me just to keep my skin [...]

Miniature Burgers of Joy

Ground Beef Ahoy (AKA Delightful Burgers + A Horrible Excuse for Shepherd’s Pie)

So at some point in the not too distant past, a large mound of ground beef crawled into my freezer. Up until recently, my thoughts toward it, when it got thought of at all, were vague and murky and took on spaghetti-like forms. Then suddenly, I was showered with gifts from the Tomato Deities while [...]

Cookout Joys Galore

These days, having a window open generally results in the scent of cooked meat wafting in at all times of day (and possibly night, as I’m generally asleep however I can’t be too sure about that). The entirely frustrating part about all of this is my complete lack of grill. I suppose I *could* technically [...]
