The Ultimate Cheeseburger?
As you know I am not at home this weekend. But, that did not stop me from cooking this evening. In honor of the fact that we are in the RV I decided to make one of my favorite all time meals. Cheeseburgers!
I had come across this recipe for what they claimed was the ultimate cheeseburger. The secret to their ultimateness was that they took grated cheese and incorporated it into the raw meat. That way when the burger cooked the cheese melted inside the burger as well as the cheese that was laid on top. Other differences include a chipolte pepper in adobo sauce and scallions added to the hamburger meat. I would have to say that the burger was good but it certainly was not an ultimate burger. Here is a picture of the burger as it was plated:
Here is the real reason I took a day off from work. My greatest love is the old Southern Pacific Railroad in the Shasta Division. This area is now owned by the Union Pacific. This division stretches from Gerber California (Near Red Bluff) up to Portland Oregon and also stretches out East to Winnemucca Nevada. The division headquarters is in Dunsmuir California. I spent the day chasing trains and taking pictures of them and their surroundings. I had a fantastic time up here and took hundreds of pictures. Here is one of them:
