Yesterday I had the best cheeseburger in the world. My sisters boyfriend and I thought this up as the three of us were going to the grocery store. This is how it goes:
Ingredients:
2 buns
ground beef
BBQ sauce
bacon
BBQ potato chips
cheese
Actions:
Grill a 1/3 lb patty, slap a square of cheese on the patty and grill until it melts. Cook bacon in your favorite skillet on stovetop until crispy. Toast buns, dump some BBQ sauce on each bun, plop the cheesy burger on one bun, add 2 or 3 slices of bacon on top, and on top of that lay on the BBQ chips. Stick the other bun on and BAM BEST CHEESEBURGER EVER.

Pumpkins!?
So for the past 5 years, or maybe even longer, I have been saving the seeds from my Halloween Jack o' lanterns to grow new pumpkins for the following Halloween! You are supposed to plant pumpkins for Halloween around April or May; and every April or May, I forget. So I have this little paper starbucks cup with years and years worth of pumpkin seeds hiding away in my bedroom cupboard. Generations of seeds!!!! Anyway, this year, I remembered! So last week, I got some seed-starting soil, and planted a few seeds in plantable pots, and watered them about every morning. My family and I were thinking they had little chance of sprouting, since they were so old, but to our surprise, they sprouted yesterday! Beautiful little pumpkin leaves arose. I hope to put some pictures up soon!
My idol.
So as far as cooking and baking goes, my idol is definitely Alton Brown. His show on the Food Network, "Good Eats", is a perfect combination of wonderful cooking and baking know-how, quirkiness, and just downright funniness. I have his books "Good Eats: The Early Years" and "Good Eats: The Middle Years" and I am planning on getting "The Later Years" when it comes out!
