we would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today


It's another good roast. (well, panfry actually.) This was tonight's dinner.

from left to right: salad, burger, campbell's cream of mushroom and french fries.

The salad was a good way of putting veggies into your burger, it's like a coleslaw but with lettuce, zucchini and tomatoes with a dijon mustard, honey and olive oil dressing. the burger itself has good ground round, bread crumbs and egg (cholo says though if you're using good ground beef with the fat mixed in, you don't need eggs), sauteed red onions, parmesan cheese and mustard, and spices (salt,pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin)—all nice and tender. of course, you can't go wrong with milk mixed in campbell soup, and of course fries with roasted garlic.

so all in all really, another good dinner from Cholo.





my little tips: try cumin on your fries, and homemade wasabi mayo (you'll use more wasabi than you'd expect) on your burgers.

Another nice eating thing:

hamboned and homecooked!




this was sunday dinner. cholo's cocido. and if you look closely at the brisket, it's pink because of the ham bones he threw in.

stews have never been particularly exciting, cholo doesn't like it when i would put sinigang, or tinola or worse, nilaga on the menu. until we found the right meat.

or in this case, the right bones.

so family, expect this to show up at least once during our gatherings. it's not all about roasting and salads.

it seems appropriate that for a night with a warm, hearty stew-ish meal, the table was full. like a real Sunday dinner.
