burger queen

Picture this:
Relaxing on the balcony, sun shining, tree's swaying...
Conversing with a glass of chardonnay...
Burgers sizzling on the grill...

That is what I would consider a sinful evening.

It was such a beautiful day that we decided to grill out tonight. As we talked outside, the cats meowed by the screen door, wanting eagerly to come out and sun bathe. Of course, being the cruel kitty parents that we are, we ignored them and continued our deep conversation about travel and the world. Behind us we could smell the distinct aroma of the start of a great dinner.

The burgers were simply made with lean ground beef and a few spices. We had no hamburger buns so instead we used pocket pita's that we had in the freezer. We grilled those as well so they had a crisp exterior and a soft, squishy inside. They were filled with the usual suspects as well as lettuce and pickled radishes.

On the side, we had baked potatoes. They were first microwaved for a minute or two and then set out on the grill until they were soft and had crispy skin. Topped with sour cream and scallions, it was dreamy.
