So Nikki practically dared me to do it. If you ask her, she will say she just said “do whatever you want, i’ll find something else for dinner”. But here it is.

1Lb. Ground Beef (or Lamb, Llama, Turkey, etc.)
2 big spoonfuls of Feta cheese crumbles
1 egg (especially if you use leaner meat than beef)
2 Tbsp Yellow mustard
2 Tsp minced garlic (the fresher the better)

Mush it all up in a big bowl, and press into patties between 2 desert plates.
Put pure olive oil in the pan, enough to cover lightly.
Cook in a pan around 350 degrees. Brown one side and flip -gently – over to brown the other side. It is crucial to slow cook this, due to the feta being in the patty and the meat being so lean. It will take about 15 minutes to do this, but trust me.
Cover the burger patty with onions. I peeled the whole half an onion and used the bell shaped layers. They will caramelize and add subtly to the flavor of the burger.

As the burger cooks, prepare the dressing for the bun.
1 tsp feta crumbles
2 Tbsp sour cream
1 tsp minced garlic

Spread the dressing on your toasted bun, cover with fresh onions and lettuce (this gives it a gyro-like texture).
Enjoy. Keep in mind not to overpower anything in this, the key is the subtlety of the tastes together.

Peace

I was writing that I smelled “citrusy” today, since my cologne smells like lemon/lime. Apparently citrusy is a real word. It passes through spell check, and appears to be a legitimate adjective. Who would have thought?

I don’t know if it ranks on the scale of universal hypocracy, but I hadn’t ever bothered to get a backup drive for my own computer. I worked in IT for years, and told everyone how important it is to have a backup system in place. So I finally got one. A Western Digital 500 GB drive.

I also want a Macbook Air desperately. Instead of dropping $1400 on it though, I got a gigabyte of ram for my iBook which made it much more useable. If anyone out there has an iBook and feels it’s not good enough anymore, trust me on this one. I got mine at Circuit City for $55. And since they didn’t have it in stock, I got a $24 gift card. Thankfully, I won’t have to spend it on DVDs to backup my system anymore.
