I'm hoping you all got a chance to see a really excellent eclipse of our moon Wednesday night about 9PM. Here in West Michigan, the air was cold, crisp and clear- perfect for a good look! I took a picture that is by no means a good one, but it clearly shows the shadow on the moon. I think the next one will be in 2010, so I am glad I got my butt off the downstairs couch and saw this! Things like this help me remember Earth is actually round....
The next subject is a style of burger I've wanted to try, but never did until Thursday night. Instead of my usual 1/3 lb. burgers topped with cheese and goodies, I made 4 thin patties from ground chuck, seasoned them, put a thick slice of cheddar-jack cheese on the two bottom ones, then put the two other patties on top of them, sealing the edges completely-no cheese showing. Fried both burgers until medium-rare, then topped with onions, lettuce, mayo,pickles, catsup and mustard. Really worked out well! Toppings held better than if they were sliding around on cheese, and created a great flavor meld, without the normal mess! I'll be doing this again, real soon!
Tomorrow a small chili cook-off, then I have to make 15lbs of danish meatballs for a birthday bash that night! Have fun for me this week-end- I'll be too busy!

I totally miss the eclipsed. Completely forgot about it, even though I had it written down in my planner, can you believe?
Cheese in the middle of two meats, brilliant!
I do like a good burger, one with the meat mixed with worcestershire and onion and blue cheese especially.
I will try to have fun while you are working away in the kitchen.
I've done the "cheese on the inside" burger before too. It's a great idea. Thanks for sharring.
You're not doing my diet any good at all Buff! Yummy!
Yes I did see the eclipse. Started watching about 8:30. Very cool!
Dang that is a BIG burger!
You have to make 15 POUNDS of those things??? Geez! I hope you have a really big oven!!!!! That should take a while.
You know how my day went yesterday. Today? Cleaning. I spotted some dust on my ceiling fan and now it's war. I will dust every speck of this house today and by noon, there should be no dust in sight! Dust and I are mortal enemies.
Mike- Burger time!!!

bina- Clean our house- I will feed you like a Queen! Two packrats who bred two more- that's us!
I am glad that you saw that eclipse BD. It was in the wee small hours here, and though I was up a few times it was cloudy all night.
Thanks for taking a picture as well.
Damn good looking burger!
I happened to catch the first 10 minutes of the eclipse...was pretty awesome... then I had to sleep..lol.
That burger looks great...but I wonder if it would work with softer cheeses....i mean would they melt out before the burger was done?
Peace
wow, now this sounds yummy. the hidden cheese!! hahaha. i'd like to see a cheeseburger eclipse in the sky, thank you very much.
