I Owe Y'All A Recipe, Don't I?


It's been awhile since I've posted a recipe, huh?  Well, this isn't in the style of recipe, per se, but it's warm out and I would spend every second of daylight on the patio if I could, so I'll share one of our favorite things to do!

Step 1: Pick up a pack of your favorite beer and/or white wine and put it on ice by the patio table.

Step 2: Click here for a great recipe for Black and Blue Burgers, or take my route and go to Earth Fare where their meat department has them already prepared to perfection.  While you are there, pick up a loaf of Cuban bread.

Step 3: Saute half an onion in butter.

Step 4: Set out some good, creamy French cheese, like fromager daffinois from The Gourmet Shop along with the portion of the bread that you won't be using for a hamburger bun, and start munching while the grill gets hot.

Step 5: Slap the blue cheese burgers on the grill and cook them to your liking (we enjoy ours medium rare).

Step 6: Place the  bread, sliced for use as a hamburger bun, on the grill until lightly toasted.  You don't want it to be very crunchy!

Step 7: Serve hamburgers with the sauteed onions on them, dijon mustard, and a dab of ketchup.

Mmmm!  Bon appetit!

I can attest that the Gilchrist Black & Blue burger on Cuban bread is the business!
