We went to our new, hip, hopefully-soon-to-be-happenin' urban renewal project, The Midtown Global Market yesterday to get some grape leaves. We've been trying to perfect the stuffed grape leaf for several weeks now. This week's grape leaves were the worst ever.
But while we were there in the Holy Land grocery section, I hefted up two 10 pound bags of rice. HOLY &#%$! I can't believe I've lost that amount of weight. Where did it go? In celebration of that event, I didn't have the above burger. But in September? I'm gonna.

Posted by: Bertine at July 24, 2006 02:16 PMDon't do it. After losing 20 pounds and getting healthy, all that fat hitting your system at once would probably kill you.
Seriously, that burger doesn't even look good. It looks like one of those artery clogging things that Hardee's sells. Blech!
Twenty pounds - way to go! And twelve pounds for Elizabeth - that's one big bag of rice, plus the weight Michael would gain just by eating one of those burgers. Great job!

Bravo!!
O.K.....Let me make you a burger, that you CAN eat now and not hurt your accomplished life-style change......Take the bum off the pictured burger and toss ot OUT! Replace it with Whole Wheat version....toast it....then, remove one of these pattys and replace the yellow (fake) cheeze with a nice medium slice of pepperjack. Use Nally's LIGHT Mayo (next thing to Best Foods for snappy taste) A tiny blop of Grey Poupon...and a nice medium dab of Thai/Vietnamese Garlic/Chili sauce (yup, the red stuff in the small jar.) A thin slice of White onion and several slices of a good Genuine Dill Pickle( slice 'em lengthwise) A couple leafs of Cilantro...your favorite specialty salt and cracked pepper and enjoy! Pat the patty meduim....you don't need to make yourself sick.....only make yourself NOT HUNGRY ANYMORE! Avoid the French Fries....but, if you must, eat Jenny-Fries (something my wife found years ago while on Jenny.) She gives you the recipe...Take your favorite Russet Tater and wash 'em up and cut them up just a tad thicker than what we refer to as "Julienne." Spray a baking sheet with PAM (or the like) and put them on a hot 375 degree oven until they are golden brown. Season them as you like and go easy on the Ketchup (sugar....bad) Bon Appetite!
