How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Does Martha Set Her Kitchen On Fire?

in Everyday on 08/09/10

A rainy Sunday afternoon turned into a family meal we soon won’t forget.  IMG_4380

A quick trip to Sobeys to pick up the necessary ingredients for a family favorite.  Hamburgers.  Except these hamburgers are  super tricked out Ultimate Burgers.  You can find the complete recipe in the free pamphlets at every Sobeys.  With lean and mediums ground beefs, Compliments Worchester Sauce, Compliments Louisiana Hot Sauce, salt, pepper, and Sensations by Compliments Roasted Garlic Seasoning Paste. Yummmmm

Threw it all together and …..yah…..out BBQ decided it would not work.  Grrr. It’s okay, we threw in the trusty indoor grill and kept on going.

The smell of delicious started to fill the air, and then um, a wee bit of smoke?   Eeeek Fire!

Ha!  Just a little one.  Not to worry.  Hero Hubby blew it out and saved the burgers!

Mixed up a savoury Ranch topping with Compliments Balance Ranch Dressing, fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon.  Watch out Martha!

Opened some windows to share the fabulous smell with the neighbors to let the smoke out and we were ready to plate.  Topped the burger with that savoury sauce, a slice of avocado and some alfalfa sprouts.  It looked good enough to eat! (Seriously the pictures don’t do it justice)

So here is the thing.  I may be a Mom, but this does not make me the queen of domesticity.  I just pretend to be a domestic goddess.  This is truly the first time I have made a homemade burger that is this good!

My entire family loved these burgers!  I can’t wait to make them again.

Martha Stewart may have nothing to fear now..…but I’m getting there.

      Whoa, glad all is okay, of Course Martha has set her kitchen on fire, all self respecting cooks have!
      Umm, do you all have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen and do you know how to use it??
      Also, a box of baking soda is a good extinguisher for the kitchen.
      Oy vey.

      I always set the burgers on fire. The smoke alarms going off in my house is how the family know to come to the dinner table :0)

      The funny part to me is that when the fire broke out, you don’t grab the fire extinguisher, you grab the camera and start snapping pictures! LOL
