Why Toss & Turn?

[sawhorseray]

Yesterday for dinner I webered up a couple of hipshot burgers, cheddar in mine. While the chimney was firing up the coals I fried up a couple pieces on my maple bacon

Slapped the burgers on the grill for three minutes a side, that's how we like 'em

Homemade bun, layer of bacon, SBR, caramelized onion

Burger, topped with more bacon

Plated up with tater salad and slaw

I only ate half my burger. It was delicious but a little mid-day snacking affected my appetite, so I wrapped the other half up and tossed it in the fridge. Fast forward to 2am and I'm tossing around thinking about how that burger and a brewster might help me sleep a little better. Being a experienced insomniac I knew better than to lay there much longer. Thirty seconds in the micro and at 2;30 Bob and I were at the computer looking at a bright future.

There's enough suffering in the world today without me having to be part of it. Thanks for lookin', RAY

Ray that is a mighty fine looking sandwich any time of day. 2 am is a little early for me though. Usually 3-4 am is the norm. Work days the alarm goes off at 4:30. Hope that helped with your early rise. I'm sure it would for me.

I can see that waist lines are going to be changing before we are released from this stay at home thing. Nice looking sammie.

Fine looking sammie Ray, and something good to rinse it down with.

Good looking burger Ray. After working several years of swing shift, I would just as soon have that type of breakfast over a traditional one.

Looks great RAY! I bet those onions on there were awesome! Hope you got some rest after that awesome snack!

Very nice meal and post!
I usually spend a couple hours in the middle of the night tossing and turning (like a lot of us, probably) but I stubbornly just lie there. I may have to try the "midnight snack" thing...

I am the same way - too stubborn to get up even if I toss and turn for 2-3 hours, cause sometimes I get 15 minutes here and there.

Yeah, I see you up in the wee hours along with a few of us other regular insomniacs, there's always the chat rooms if we could type fast enough! Thanks for the Like, I appreciate it. RAY

It's got to be the easiest thing in the world to make Richie. I chop up a head of cabbage and one thick slice of onion fairly fine. I skin two carrots with a vegetable peeler to get the outer cooties off, then continue with the veg peeler and shred them into a bowl, then chop that up with a knife. Dump all the chopped goods into a larger bowl and mix with my hands, it's all ready for slaw dressing. About half the time i'll be lazy and buy a couple bottles of Marie's, the other half I'll make my own, just as good, a lot cheaper.3/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup mayo, 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/3 cup pineapple juice, 3-4 Tbs sugar. What costs $10 at the grocery store I make for two bucks at home, and I know what's in it. Thanks for the Like, Richie, I appreciate it. RAY

RR's have been the home brew for over 20 years Al, before that it was Coors or Bud. I find foreign beers too filling. Thanks for the Like, much appreciated. RAY
