German Burgers

I have been thinking of school lately and well that made me think of this burger we had in school. There was not much about school food that I liked except for the German Burgers, and Pizza. I did like somethings on the breakfast menu like the breakfast pizza and the hot honey buns. Well anyways back to German burgers I don't know if anyone else had this in school but basically it was hamburger meat, onion and what ever seasoning they used wrapped in a bun type thing with a hole in the top. So I have been looking for the recipe for this burger and find the recipe for the burger but not for the bread thing. So what I think I will do is buy the stuff to make the burger and and then buy some crescent type roll wrap it in it and bake in oven. They also always gave us this cheese sauce stuff to pour on it. So I will have to find some cheese stuff like cheese whiz or something.

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 medium onion, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons flour
butter (for frying, use about 1/4 stick at a time)
1 large onion, thinly sliced into rings

Directions
1Combine all ingredients except butter and onion rings. Shape into patties. Melt butter in skillet over medium to med-high heat. Fry in melted butter until desired doneness, about 10-12 min per burger.

2Remove and keep warm. Fry onion rings in pan drippings until golden. Place burger on bun, with whatever condiments you like. Put fried onion on top of burger, enjoy!

I think I will make this sometime next week so I hope it turns out well. The only thing I will change about the recipe is that I will not be making the patties I will just fry everything in a pan then I will wrap the bread around it and cook in the oven. Well we will see :)

Well Not Much To Say

Well things have been kind of slow around here. I have been just cleaning, cooking and trying to take the kids outside as much as I can while we have nice weather. School starts next week and well that has me down. I really hate that my summer vacation with the kids is almost over. Ian is not wanting to go back to school so that makes it harder. I have gotten him all his school supplies expect to the paper. I can't seem to find any loose leaf paper anywhere. Something I have noticed since my computer died and I lost all my photos I really haven't been taking pictures like I ust to. I don't know what is wrong with me. So the other day we where outside and the sky was such a beautiful color that I ran in and got out my camera.





Then the other day I was at my kitchen window and was going to take a picture of a squirrel eating a pear. The squirrel would not be still and kept turning away from me so I gave up. I did get a picture of my rose bush. This picture was taken straight out of the camera with no editing at all.



I hope that my kids hurry up and say something funny because I hate missing What Would Your Children Say? Wednesday. I have been trying to think of stuff they have said in the past but I am just drawing a blank.

Oh I have a new love.



Pulled Pork Sandwich with cold slaw. Oh how I love it so.

Well for the past couple of days my youngest Bradon has been talking about Chuckie James. Who is Chuckie James? Well at the time you guess would be as good as ours. I thought for a while he meant his uncle James my brother. He kept saying "Chuckie James has a truck? I would say no he has a car. Then he would say "Chuckie James went in the water and fell over." I just thought he was talking nonsense. Well this Sunday night he was talking about Chuckie James with his daddy. He was saying stuff like "Chuckie James drove a monster truck and fell in the water." My husband ask do you mean Jessie James? Bradon says "yes Chuckie James he cool" me and hubby laughed our butts off. Who knew all this time he was talking about Jessie James. He is talking about the Jessie James that builds bikes and has a show on Spike called Jessie James is a Dead Man. My husband watches this show every Sunday and well he watches anything with Jessie James in it. Bradon watches it to he really only pays attention when Jessie James is talking. I guess I have another Jessie James fan in the house. That is ok as long as he dosn't do any of the other crazy things that Jessie James does.

Oh how I love this little Guy. Something else he said this week was he was talking and talking about Chuckie James and I say you are a silly little man. Bradon says "no I'm Bradon Alexander" Oh so cute!!!!

Getting Close

That is to school time. Ian starts back to school on the 17th of Aug. He is really not that excited to go back, but I hope he has a good school year. Last week I got his school supplies list. It may take me a while to get everything.
Here is the list.

1 Box of colors

1 pair of scissors

1 bottle of Elmer's glue

10 pencils

1 12" ruler

1 small composition notebook

2 pink erasers

4 packages of loose leaf paper

2 boxes of Kleenex

3 packages of toilet tissues

6 rolls of paper towel

1 large package of napkins

2 packages of baby wipes

2 packages of drinking cups (9 oz)

3 cans of kool-aid

I just keep thinking about in a couple of years when I have 2 of these list. Ian goes to a very small private school, and there is about 30 kids in the whole school. That is pre k thru 5th. I only pay 150.00 a month and I just love the school. I have got about 6 things on the list thank God I have some more time. I like to get a little every week that way it doesn't seem like I am spending so much. Of course I am not but it at least it feels like it.

Hubby went back to work today and it was a little strange. I was getting ust to him being home. Today when I watched Christy and Dr. Quinn it was not the same. I am however am happy that I don't have to cook lunch. I was frying chicken and everything else for lunch when he was home and now it it back to good old fish sticks.

Ian lost another tooth Saturday. Him and his dad where playing around and he ran to the bathroom like something was wrong. I guess during playing with his dad the tooth got pushed or hit on. When I went to check on him it was just hanging out of his head. I just touched it and it fell right out. It was the quickest tooth pull so far. I forgot to get a pic of him so I will have to post that latter, but he sure does look cute with his two front teeth gone.

Well I guess that is all for tonight. I really hate to close a post without pics so here are some random photos of our vacation last year. We really hated not going to the beach this year because we all love it so much. Hopefully next year we will be able to go.

Well I Did It

Well after months of searching I finally picked out a new comforter set for my bed. I was going to get one for Mother's Day but I couldn't find one I like at the price I was willing to spend. So last night on ebay I found one that I just love. I think it will look real nice on my bed. I got if for 93 dollars. I thought that was a steal since it retails for about 300 dollars. Then I go to Macy's website and see that they had it for 70 something dollars on sell. It was to late I had already gotten the one from ebay. Oh well the ebay one had free shipping so I guess I came out good.

Animals

I love animal very, very, much. Over the years that me and hubby have been married we have had many. First was my turtles Trunks and Goten. We had them for a long time but I soon realized that they where needed more care that I could give them so we found them a new home. Then was Addie our first dog. We got her about 9 months before we got married she lived with hubby because there is no way my parents where going to let a dog live in there house. She died when Ian was just a baby. I don't know what happened to her I just went out to feed her one day and she was dead. It just looked like she went to sleep.

Then we got a cat Piccolo. The cat was crazy but was very much loved until he started attacking the children and I had to put him outside. We think he was ran over by a car because one day he was limping and then we just never seen him again.

Then we got penny we got her for Addie and they where the best of friends. Penny died about 5 months ago she lived with my inlaws and I guess by all rights was there dog. When me moved in front of my inlaws she spent all her time down there. I guess we could not compete with a cool shed and any and everything she wanted to eat. I think she might have gotten heart worms. She lived for 7 years.

There was also another cat named Dende. Oh how I loved that little cat. We found him around my hubby's uncles house. The cat was wild but after some tender loving car became just a lap cat. He got out of our house one night threw a window. The next day I found him dead. I have never in my life cryed so hard over a animal. I usually take my animals death very well. Maybe it was because I was about 3 months pregnant with Ian and you know all the hormones.

Then we got another cat Mr. Popo. My friend didn't want him anymore so we took him. He was very sweet but was put outside with Piccolo. He was wander off a lot going across to all the campers that stay in the park. One day we could not find him and I choose to believe that maybe one of the campers took him.

I then thought my animal days where over. I guess I was wrong because my hubby and Ian bring home this little kitten that was no bigger then my hand. They had pulled it out of a dogs mouth. I took this little cat in and thought well I will give it a place to die I just know it will not live. I fed it out of a med. syringe and low and behold the little cat did make it. When we took the little cat in I gave it a bath because it had dog slobber all over it. Ian says "mom why does the cat not have a tail." I said "Ian the cat has a tail." Then ofcourse I look and this tiny little cat does not have a tail. How in the world Ian knew that is beyond me. My husband wanted to name it Bob because of the tail thing and I told him I think the cat is a girl. It was hard to tell because the cat was so small. My inlaws decided that they wanted the kitten and so we gave it to them. The cats name is still bob and yes it is a girl. Then of course you all know about our sweet Lady.

Ok so now you may be depressed because I have told you about all my animals deaths. Or maybe you are asking yourself why did she just tell this long drawn out story. Well I guess to say that I do love animal even if it seems like I have on luck with them. I have never in my life not had a animal around. Growing up we had many many dogs. My dad had this great idea after having Pit bulls that he could make some money by breeding them. Well lets just say it really didn't work as he had wanted it to. The problem was he couldn't keep the neighbors dogs form breeding with his dogs. So we got lots of mutes that no one was going to pay money for. It did mean that we had lots and lots of puppy's.

Growing up I always wanted to be a veterinarian, pediatrician, or a marine biologist. I don't know what ever happened to those dreams. One reason was well I just wasn't smart enough but another was I have a problem with needles. So maybe there was really no point in telling this story because all I really wanted to do was post some photos I took at the zoo Monday. I didn't take many because it is hard to take photos when you are trying to keep up with a wild 3 year old. You will notice that I have a love affair with black and white photos.

What Would Your Child Say? Wednesday

Well its time to tell those silly things that children sometimes say.

I was going over the rules with Ian about the pool. Well mid sentence he stops me and says "oh mom I know, never go in the pool by yourself. Because its not good to drown by yourself." I was like no Ian that would not be a good idea. lol He is just so funny.
