Teriyaki burgers

I can't claim credit for this recipe. Found it after searching for 'unique burgers'. Called the aloha burger here. One new thing I did to try to make uniform burger sizes. To achieve this I used one of my children's circular cookie cutters. It was fairly successful and I will certainly be using that cookie cutter again in the future! I may even have to use some of the 'more fun' shapes to see if the kids will be more eager to eat a burger.

The recipe was unclear on how to cook the pineapple so I decided to use the top rack while the burgers cooked. While the cheese was melting I also put the buns on the top rack too!

This was what the burgers looked like just before they were removed from the grill. Through the hole in the Swiss cheese you can see the pineapple ring. I dressed the burgers with just a little bit of mayonnaise. The burgers were a delicious mix of sweet and salty. I will certainly be trying these again in the future.

Electricity restored

Saturday afternoon we saw via facebook that several of our neighbors were celebrating the return of electricity. The morning started well with junior's t-ball game. Moments before the game started I was asked to call the names of the batters for the game. Of course, my daughter wanted to help.

Now I am searching the internet for a nice kabob recipe for Wednesday night. Eight adults and about that many kids are coming to our house. Hopeful to have more than kabobs on the grill. To be determined if my wife will allow me to cook another cake on the grill. :)
