Burgers and Fries...

My normal lunch partner was not available today, so I decided to do my bi-weekly grocery shopping instead of eating. Picked up everything I needed, including the ingredients for "Blue Cheese Stuffed Hamburgers," in case Jake and Carla stopped by tonight.

Interesting (?) sidebar: When I got home to unload the groceries, I innocently and unsuspectingly opened the door from the garage, only to have Carla jump out at me, screeching "Rrraaahhh!!" Scared the sh*t out of me! After I got my breath back, I tried to explain I am old and could die of a heart attack, but she was laughing too hard to hear me...

Anyway, they agreed to meet back here after work for dinner. So, when I got home, I fried up the charcoal in my "Q". Divided two pounds of ground chuck, mixed with two teaspoons of garlic Carla chopped along with salt, fresh ground pepper and Emeril's Essence, into eight patties. Then crumbled up 12 ounces of blue cheese and made four patties of that. Topped the four hamburger patties with the blue cheese patties, then put the other hamburger patty on top of each.

Jake showed me how to fuse the two hamburger patties together. He grilled them while Carla made seasoned crinkle-cut french-fries in the oven.

We ended up with the four, half-pound burgers (damn delicious, but almost too much to eat at one time) and the seasoned fries.

I got a phone call after dinner, and Jake and Carla left while I was talking (before I could thank them), so "Hey, thanks guys, that was great!"
