Its Only 365 Days
207/366: TURKEY BURGER
24 JULY 12
Photographically speaking, today sucked. Late last night I was looking at one of my contacts streams from early on, and I got this brilliant idea to kind of expand on an image/concept that they'd started and so I went to task with it, and it just crumbled....and how. I was so fixated on the original brilliance of the original image, that I couldn't quite bring myself to create from that and it just sort of fell short and if I could, I would have crumpled up the images and thrown them in the trash. So this is unfortunately my submission for today.
I am 0 for 2 today. I had a killer work out with Cath today, lower body only and she killed my legs. Her version of torture are low/highs. Imagine doing a squat but only being able to come back up from the squat half way...repeatedly. You do the low end of the exercise, and then you come up and do the high end where you come down halfway, but then come back up. I did so many squats and plies and jump squats and sumo squats and calf raises, the pain just started to blur in my mind. It is hell and you just want to stand up and quit, but that's a bad idea b/c Cath doesn't like quitters. You complain and that will be the last thing you remember for the next 3 days while your body recovers from a physical exercise coma hell.
Okay, so Turkey Burger...as I've said a billion times over the years, I don't eat red meat.-food poisoning years ago ranks number 3 on my list if the most sick I've ever been in my life, and so nixed the red meat. Still in love with burgers about five years ago I scoured the web for a delicious turkey burger recipe. You don't understand how hard it is to season turkey. It's so lean and so darn healthy for you that you cant just add salt and pepper and come out with anything remotely delicious you have to add some serious innards. Normally I have no problem posting the ingredient list but this is no joke 15 ingredients just for the turkey alone and as much as I mutter to myself about the amount of work needed to make these, it is pure heaven when you sink your teeth in. So moist, juicy, spicy, flavorful...everything a good burger should be.
I made two burgers, one for a friend and one for myself and because I'm such a perfectionist when it comes to serving dishes to others, on her I took my time, picked out the best lettuce, melted jack cheese on the grill over her turkey, perfectly sliced the tomatoes, placed nice pieces of avocado on top and did the perfect swirl of ketchup, but when it came time to mine, I was exhausted with the gym, wasn't really in the mood for any high level of cooking for myself, so I just threw my sandwich together and photographically this doesn't do this deliciousness any justice. I wish I'd photographed hers, but its kind of crazy to tell your friend, hey do you mind not biting into that whilst I fetch my camera. I learned from my food blogger mentor years ago that that is absolutely rude and so both he and I stick to photographing our own servings or the before of a dish before anyone else even sees it.
Luckily for me, this shot will never see the light of my website because when I make Turkey burgers, I make full batches and usually just eat one, and freeze the rest for later-which is why this is such an awesome meal even if it is a pain in the arse to make!
In other news, James Holmes, the pretty much soon to be convicted killer of 12, wounder of 71, appeared in court the other day looking wild eyed and sleepy with this mop of red dyed hair. Now, call me crazy but two things are of note---one does not methodically plan the mass murder of hundreds or thousands over a period of months, rig his apartment on a set musical timer to blow up the first person to hit the trip wire, devise entrance and exit strategies, and time his killing on a day it would recieve such press if he is not methodical and extremely smart. For some to say he's not fit to stand trial is ridiculous-the guy was pratically a PH.D. Also I might not be as well versed as others in Bathman lore, but for someone who claimed to be the Joker, why did you dye your hair red. The jokers hair has always been green...its like you went to the costume shop to find green, and they were out, so you were like screw it, red then. Oye, this whole thing is a mess, but I'm glad to see the press focusing on the victims and their families and the nation trying not to glorify this killer.
