Oh, and is there pork in those baked beans? I see you made a jello salad. Is there real gelatin in that?
No worries. I hope you don’t mind I brought a Boca burger to grill and a Tabuleh salad to share.
Thanks for inviting me.

I prefer mayo, mustard, or "special sauce."

I also add lettuce and sometimes a tomato slice fresh from the garden.

I caramelize onions. About 2/3rds of the way to medium brown I add sliced mushrooms.
When the mushrooms are sweated, I add a cup of dark red wine & reduce.
Salt to taste, some black pepper, a little allspice, a pinch of cinnamon, a splash of Worcestershire, and a few drops of red wine vinegar.
It becomes a condiment to put on the burger.
Now, if you're providing, I'm going to need brown mustard, sliced tomatoes & iceberg lettuce.
Oh, and the buns need to be slightly toasted.
I just got uninvited, didn't I?

Chop up green olives and mix with Hellman's mayo. If you want to get fancy, slap on a slice on tomato and a little lettuce.

It's awesome.

Used to take 20lbs of Angus ground beef in tubes, and transform them into 40 weighed wrapped
half=pound burgers...

favorite burger:

8oz angus patty
Swiss or Gruyere cheese
Sauteed mushrooms under the cheese
Raw onion rings on top of the cheese (thank you very much!)
Ketchup & a sharp mustard like Guldens or Colmans.

Have a great Labor Day!

I just rolled my gas grill out by the pond. Neighbors called and asked if the could have a cookout, and go fishing.
