I did not burn the burgers today
That is big for me. I have a tendency to put the grill on high, flip the burgers on, and do something else.
I can tell they are done bye the smoke and flames pouring out of the sides of the grill.
But today I put the burgers on the grill, let them cook for 4 minutes, then flippped them and let them cook for 4 more minutes and then I took their temperature.
I turned them a couple of more times, which I understand is a no no in grilling burgers. Flip once is what I read.
Anyway, when the temperature hit about 145 I added cheese and took them off the grill.
I thought they were very good. Not blackened, not bloody red on the inside, but just about right.
We had people over for Emily's birthday and it was a nice gathering.
There was too much food. We had some leftover burgers, and lots of salads.
If you are in the mod, stop out tomorrow afternoon and we can enjoy some salads together.
Jackie and I made a broccoli salad and I really liked it. I think we will make that again. Other people must have liked it because there was not a lot left.
Clean up has been pretty easy. Most of it went into the dishwasher. The human dishwasher is finishing the rest.
We just had one tiny, little problem.
I turned the AC down because it was getting hot and there were people there. After a while, I turned it down again because I was hot.
At some point Emily can to me and asked if I thought it was hot in here. I said I did. She said that was because the AC unit was not working.
The condenser was silent. The house was at 78.
There are 3 settings I can use: heat, cool, or heat/cool. I had it on heat/cool. Emily turned it to cool and the AC popped on.
For a few minutes I was a little worried. I saw $$ flashing in front of my eyes. But my biggest concern was Jackie and the effect heat has on MS patients.
Luckily all that was avoided by finding the right setting.
Life is good.
Peace and Love
Especially Peace
