What the heck? I barely see a burger (1 pound? I doubt it) but I see a
ton of caramelized onions and some sort of unidentifiable bread that
doesn't fit the burger.

designer bakery chain that my wife brought home from Albany... better
to use some for the burger than let it sit around going stale... was
still a lot better than the typical plastic bags of burger buns.
Yesterday wasn't a very good day (back pain) from setting Jilly's
memorial stone and shoveling and lugging buckets of top soil.
I'm very happy with that stone, one of the few I liked that one can
have the name and dates engraved.
I took the burger picture yesterday but didn't post it until today...
probably shouldn't have bothered, not a good picture. I prefer to
caramel onions for a burger as I don't care for the crisp texture of
onions on a burger.

Didn't plan on using that bread until after the burger was cooking. If
you'll notice I cut two slices of bread but only ate one, cutting it
and the burger with the side of a fork. I really wasn't in the mood
for dinner, sciatica does that.

Sciatica truly sucks, hope it gets better or at least that you can somewhat manage the pain...

Wettish from onions sauted in EVOO and meat juice bread eats with a
spoon... coulda made it juicier but decided against ketchup. The
important aspect is that's it's home ground beef, not fercocktah
mystery meat. I have the second burger with onions for dinner
tonight, if I feel like it... have other breads too.

Got an email notice a couple days ago, due to the virus I assume, can
now order my favorite packaged bread on line, as good if not better
than home baked, and at local in-store prices. Previously unavailable
out of this local area. I like them all but my favorites are their
French Peasant Bread, and Ciabata Rolls... my wife likes their multi
grain versions... I also like the one with sunflower seeds:

They look like the real thing:
"All Heidelberg Bread contains the same primary ingredients: Flour,
Water, Salt, & Yeast".

I don't know if they sell bread that's only been kneaded with the
right hand.

That's what he washes the tylenol down with.

Also, a hot shower or hot soaking bath helps a lot.

Tylenol and alcohol should never be combined. The combination can cause
irreversible damage.

That's very true. A doctor told my daughter that at a party
years ago. I believe it causes liver damage.

It can and the liver stores these toxins and one time too many combining
pain killers or sedatives and you're history.

Two that come to mind are the actors Alan Ladd and Robert Walker. If Robert
Walker is not ringing a bell he was the villain in Alfred Hitchcock's
"Stranger on a Train." Both were heavy drinkers and both were known to
consume sedatives on a regular basis although Walker's doctor injected him
with a sedative to calm him and it was one sedative too many.

That film ('Strangers on a Train') was on Turner Classics last night. I
didn't know how Robert Walker died except, of course, in that really
creepy movie he was crushed under a moving Merry-go-Round...

His son (Robert Walker, Jr.) at one point looked just like his father.
Junior died last year at the age of 79.

The younger girl in the film with glasses that was a friend of Ruth Roman
is Albert Hitchcock's daughter, Patricia. I did see where it was to air
last night but did not watch the movie.

Yes, his son was a dead ringer for him.

My wife likes to watch the movies on TCM. I tend to get a little bored
and keep busy on my laptop. I like to Google the movies to see the
articles about the movies and follow the links to the articles about the
actors. It is astounding to see how many of the actors died young,
often from heart attacks or lung cancer, and a few from drug and alcohol
combos.

I was sure that was a Sun Tzu quote, but I was wrong. It should have been.

You missed my point. You're always complaining about people not posting
pics (if they don't post pics they don't cook!) then you bitch about how
bad their pics look. That picture was not at all appetizing. Just
saying. :)

Agreed, it looked bad in the picture, but tasted good. At least I
cooked something for the 4th.

I cooked a burger, too. A quarter of a pound with swiss cheese and
bacon. (Yeah, I know you hate bacon.) I had mine on a toasted buttered
cracked wheat bun and I didn't bother to take a picture of it, I just
ate and enjoyed it. :)
