Burgers again

When my parents were in town they brought a cooler full of ground beef. My wife would laugh if she heard me call my-self a city boy but apparently you can buy a cow from a farmer and have it slaughtered. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise but it was something that I had never heard. Regardless, we will be having burgers for the next few months. I am trying a variety of spices and flavors. One flavor that my wife loves is using a tablespoon of dry ranch dressing in with a pound of beef.

You will also notice that there are two big burgers and one little one for junior. This was the first hamburger that I have seen him eat in his three years.

Home Improvement

A couple of weekends ago my parents were in town for a conference. I don't know if my wife is "unique" but she is big on making changes in the house. (thank goodness she isn't big on rearranging furniture). Our kitchen needed some work and the latest was a tin back-splash. My dad and I spent much of Saturday working on getting these set. Good man time. Here are the results.

You can also notice the new counter tops. If you are ever in the market for counter tops see if you can find out who supplies Lowes. We cut them out and saved $13 a square foot. You will also notice a new oven. Like good Americans we were putting out stimulus check to work.
