I heard someone on TV say that if everyone ate three fewer burgers per week, it would be the equivalent of taking SUVs off the road. I don’t know about all that. But I do figure that if everyone ate 3 fewer burgers per week, we wouldn’t need SUVs so much because we could fit in smaller cars again! 😮
This past weekend, Fab and Bag O’ Donuts hosted a party, and the food was inspired by recent discussions and pictures on this blog. I was invited but had previous commitments for that evening. After seeing the pictures Fab sent me, I’m really sad I missed this party. Check out these burgers! These are burgers of legend!
There is a LOT of meat and cheese on those burgers. There’s also a lot of bacon, which doesn’t show up well in the pictures. They cooked two packages of bacon, and here’s a picture of the bacon grease they drained off.
I showed that pic to someone before posting it, and they asked if the burgers were dipped in the bacon grease. While that would probably be tasty, I hope that did not happen, or the people involved should probably make sure their will is up-to-date.
For the record, no one finished a whole burger. Maybe next time I will be able to attend, so I can show ’em what’s up! 🙂
Today is “Fat Tuesday”. If you’re fat, then this is your day. And if you’re not fat, then you’re supposed to try to become fat. 🙂 No, really it’s about Mardi Gras, which literally translates to “Fat Tuesday”. I don’t care anything about the Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans, but the notion of Fat Tuesday sounds interesting.
Fat Tuesday is always the day before Ash Wednesday, when Catholics and some formal, “liturgical” Christian denominations start Lent, a time of fasting from some item that you really enjoy. I don’t participate in that. I’m all for repenting and fasting, but not in this organized way. But to each their own. FYI, the date of Fat Tuesday varies each year. This year, 2009, it is today, February 24. Consult the Internet or calendar for other years.
Anyway, the idea of eating all you want on Fat Tuesday sounds like a good idea, regardless of whether or not you participate in Lent. So hopefully you made the most of your meals today. It’s part of being culturally relevant, or somethin’…
Fortunately, I participated in this overeating ritual during lunch today, even though I didn’t consciously know I was supposed to. 🙂
When you walk into a non-occupied room, it’s a good practice to say, “I know you’re listening.” If no one’s there, no one knows. But if there’s some secret spy organization listening to you, they’re gonna be really surprised and scared…
