It was 25 this morning so I went out and cracked a couple of hose spigots. That should suffice at this temp.

What really makes a good burger? More meat? Better quality meat? How many patties? Secret sauce that isn't a secret? Does it have to be processed, yellow cheese? Onions raw or grilled? Red onions? What about Romaine or red leaf lettuce? A beef steak tomato, or something heirloom?
More and better meat with a good sauce with real cheese no onions and only a bit of tomato when fresh and ripe in summer. Also, bacon, good pickles, or a fried egg can put it over the top. Garlic fries to go with it is best.

Oh man. That topic can near-be a religious argument. For me, it starts with the quality of the meat, and no it doesn't have to be ribeye to start, but it shouldn't have a lot of gristle, and should be fairly marbled. Second, is to doctor it up a little to make sure it doesn't dry out when it's cooked. That can be done a number of ways, but flat patties will cook very fast, and it's easier to maintain juiciness if they're a bit thicker. Third, there are meat-purists, but I am of the mind that adding a "bit of something" to enhance the flavor helps a lot. These days I add a 1/2 packet of onion soup mix to a pound of hamburger, plus an egg. This combo enhances the flavor and also helps maintain the moisture.
In the end, people like to add other things in too many ways to count, and I say let 'em do it their way.
Hank, we only have 12 hens, they are three years old, Americana's, they are the ones that lay the Blue/Green eggs. They are not known to be the best in egg production. They are good for about three years then start dropping off, this will be there last summer. Matter of fact we are planning on getting a new batch this spring.
Have you seen the news out of Louisiana? Holy Cow did they get the snow. A friend lives near New Orleans and get 11 inches yesterday and now it is only 11°. I saw a photo of a couple snow skiing down Bourbon Street.
I have stopped buying eggs. Too expensive. Either the amount of egg laying hens has dropped drastically, or the amount of greed from the hen owners has gone up drastically. I don't know. All I know is that I cannot afford them. Same with bacon.
Everything is better with thick slice smoked Bacon, that’s what’s for dinner tomorrow nite , Venison burger with Bacon , and if there’s enough room I might slice some Avocado, definitely sautéed onions , the Tomatoes are not good around here , takes to long to ship them from Mexico, my wife freeze dried a bunch along with bell peppers, hate to ruin a good Burger with freeze dried tomatoes.
Yeah Tim I never had a white layer, although yes they produce better. Heck I had 21 for the 3 of us, back then, now I have a 10 & 15 Y.O with my wife Katie (avatar)
Jim hens take the winter off pretty much and dont produce as many cackleberries. My buddy supplies my family. His son also has pigs and beef but I have soo many irons cookin right now but Ill be ready this summer

It seems like the last time there was a recorded big snowfall down south was 1895. New Orleans has not seen this kind of snowfall since 1895, and Pensacola Florida recorded 8-1/2 inches. In 1895 they got 3 inches.
I broke my rule and bought six eggs for $4.17 Also picked up some tater tots to go with the free sausage links I got from a food bank. Breakfast tomorrow for lunch. LOL
