What My Husband Cooks: Hamburgers


Yesterday morning I bit into a banana, put it down, and said, "I want a hamburger."
Mr. Branflake replied, "Then let's make you a hamburger!"
He then went to the store, bought fixings for hamburgers, and got to grilling.
Oh, the life of a student has wonderful perks, 
i.e., making meals for your spouse in the middle of the day.



Like I said before, Mr. Branflake's meals are fairly basic.
Although I love all things gourmet, sometimes you just need a basic all American burger in your life.
Nothing complicated. 
Just simple toppings (lettuce, tomato, onions, ketchup, and mayo), cheese, and a nicely toasted bun.




But you gotta add curly fries.
A burger without fries is just a sin, plain and simple.


And do not get me started on a guy I dated who didn't like ketchup with his fries.
After that incident I knew we were not meant to be.



Thanks, Mr. Branflake!
You sure know how to keep a woman happy!

Mmmm...this looks scrummy. I don't eat hamburgers myself (I always ask for the hamburger bun with the veggies, but no meat), but I've never been able to resist curly fries! :)
