Fortunately I have learned over the years to save my work as I go
along. I was saving every five recipes - and just happened to get
caught out. Those recipes are now pounded back in and the whole

A help. I'm not saving the quantity of recipies I used to, need to
sort and see what can be added to the recycle pile.

Those are all banged in, formatted, and ready to post

Something to do in your spare time?

I don't watch TeeVee - except on rare occasions. And being retired
from the "mating game" I have lots of "free" time. And I am interested
in recipes and cooking.

I've got enough other diversions that free time can be very limited
some days. By the time I've caught up on everything, it's time to call
it a day, even late at night. (G)

I know the words to that song. I've also got a couple clubs/groups that
meet regularly. A bunch of computer pioneers who all met via BBS back in
the pre-historic days of personal confusers and bulletin boards. And my motorcycle group, Vintage Iron Riders. Although I no longer have an old motorcycle (or any motorcycle at all) I am still interested in them.

My dad used to say that he was busier in his retirememt than when he was working. (G) Steve says that he is officially retired but I can't
declare I am until I have somebody to do the cooking, cleaning, etc.

I am not scheduled to work from Fridy (yesterday) until next Wednesday.
But, just as sure as I get started on a big project or an important
event the phone will ring and the voice on the other end will say "Can
you come in and close tonight? ----- called off." And I'll usually go
chase the almighty buck(s).

I understand. I've sometimes taken on sewing jobs when I had another one
in the works. Got them all done on time but it was a lot of time at the machine. I've also said "no" a few times when I knew I couldn't do it.

True, or maybe a part of a mission trip meal for a group of hungry
workers. We're home from VT, saw a lot of high water but were not held
up by any flooding. This trip will go down in the books as one of those
trips where most of the prior planning pretty much went out the door.

That's good to hear. I had been wondering you you were faring. Some of
the pixtures and videos on the internet feeds were pretty awful. And

Title: Flood Burgers
Categories: Five, Beef, Breads, Cheese
Yield: 4 Servings

2 lb Fresh ground, 85% lean beef
Salt & fresh cracked pepper
4 sl Cheddar cheese; (opt)
4 Hamburger buns; toasted

Measure four 2-ounce portions of beef and form into balls.
Season generously with salt and pepper.

Heat heavy-bottomed 12" cast-iron or stainless steel
skillet (or carbon steel crepe pan) over high heat for at
least 5 minutes. Place balls of beef on skillet. Smash
beef balls with back of heavy-duty spatula sprayed with
non-stick cooking spray until 1/4-inch thick and 4"-5"
wide. Cook for 1 minute. Using spatula, carefully scrape
patties from skillet and flip, taking care to scrape up
any browned bits from bottom of pan. Cook for one minute
longer, then remove patties to plate and allow to cool for
three (3) minutes.

Using citrus juicer or hands and wire mesh strainer,
squeeze patties firmly and catch juice in small bowl.
Discard or save meat for another use (it works
surprisingly well in long-simmered pasta sauces). Divide
sauce into four small soup bowl and place in freezer until
firmly frozen, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, divide remaining beef into eight 3-ounce balls
and form into four-inch-wide patties. Take one patty and
use fingers to form 1/4" ridge around rim of the patty,
creating shallow cup shape. Repeat with three more
patties. Remove frozen beef juice disks from bowls and
place one disk in each ground beef "cup." Top with
remaining beef patties. Carefully crimp and seal edges,
then form into even, 1/2" to 3/4" patty. Season generously
on all sides with salt and pepper.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy-bottomed 12" cast-iron or
stainless steel skillet (or carbon steel crepe pan) over
high heat until lightly smoking. Add patties and cook
without moving for 1 1/2 minutes. Flip, using thin metal
spatula. Using toothpick, poke hole in center of each
burger to allow steam to escape. Continue cooking for 1
minute. Top with cheese and cook for 1 minute longer, or
until center registers 130ºF/55ºC on an instant-read
thermometer for medium-rare. Place patties on toasted
buns, and serve with napkins.

Yes, parts of Waterbury were buried under water, including the park
where we usually do VBS. It sits below street level & has a stream
running thru the back of it. The park became a lake, rising at one point
to cover the street. As bad as Waterbury got it, Montpelior got it even
worse. Also, on our way up to the Costco in Burlington on Tuesday, we
saw quite a bit of high water from the Winooski river--at a park and
ride just off the interstate, the water came up part of the exit ramp.
Saw a number of submerged vehicles that will probably end up being
junked.

Some of our team worked on "mud out" jobs; Steve and I stayed back and
fixed supper for the crew. Didn't do our usual broccoli salad but did
the riff on the strawberry salad we had up in Fairbanks. I think that
will become a regular with us, especially during strawberry season. This
time I used a prepared balsamic vinegar dressing and commercial bacon
bits as our cooking facilities were limited; I'll probably make my own dressing, don't know if I'll go with commercial bacon bits or not when I
do it at home.
