Eric, Alan, Liz, Harmony / In-N-Out Double-Double

Eric told me that he has to pick me up early again tomorrow. Fine by me, since that gives me more time to do Bible Study. I have been procrastinating on it tonight by reading various posts that complain about the new LJ update page, which is not good. At least I know what to do for it, since I told my brother what to do a few hours ago! He says Alan and Liz are coming tomorrow, and staying till Monday. His girlfriend comes at 11 PM on Tuesday, so I guess the earliest I'll meet her will be Wednesday, although I'm betting the weekend will be more likely. Gotta have SLB or SOMETHING, haha!


In-N-Out Double-Double

This is a recipe for making what I believe is the best hamburger in the world. The secret to duplicating this and other fast-food burgers is getting the beef patties really thin... about 1/4 inch-thick. If you like, you can press the beef thin onto wax paper and freeze the patties ahead of time. This makes them easier to work with on the hot pan.

1 plain hamburger bun
1/3 pound ground beef
Dash salt
1 tablespoon Kraft Thousand Island dressing
1 large tomato slice (or 2 small slices)
1 large lettuce leaf
4 slices American cheese (Singles) or-2 slices real American cheese
1 whole onion slice (sliced thin)

1. Preheat a frying pan over medium heat.
2. Lightly toast the both halves of the hamburger bun, face down in the pan. Set aside.
3. Separate the beef into two even portions, and form each half into a thin patty slightly larger than the bun.
4. Lightly salt each patty and cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side.
5. Flip the patties over and immediately place two slices of cheese on each one. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
6. Assemble the burger in the following stacking order from the bottom up:
bottom bun
dressing
tomato
lettuce
beef patty with cheese
onion slice
beef patty with cheese
top bun.
Makes one hamburger.
