A very few things.

Trash is out, to the curb.  I only saw trash bins out, the few that were out, on my way to the post office.  Still, I wanted to check closer to pickup time.  Around 6:30 I poked my head out.  Nope, all seemed to be just the trash bins.  So... that is that.  But, it is out.  Ready.  All good.  

And I received my utility bill.  I knew I was behind.  So paid a good chunk, if not all of it.  But, wasn't exactly sure how much I was yet behind.  I was thinking... $100 to $200, more like in the middle?  Nope, just behind $69 currently.  Good, I can catch up next month.  Always good to be less behind than thought.  Well, and that includes this month, so... much better.

I have been making burger cakes, of late.  Nice, but a bit much.  Too much food.  Probably half pounders, and three or four at a time.  Too much.  So, I decided to go with quarter pounders again.  Had thought to drop to just two.  But, if I go with three quarter pounders, I am (compared to half pounders, if I only had been doing three) already cutting the 'by weight' in half.  Three half pounders are a pound and a half.  Three quarter pounders is only three quarters of pound.

Anyway, so three will do.  But, I wanted to form the patties more evenly.  Even after eating a lot of burgers for a long time now, I still haven't figured out how to make them even, one from the other.  There had to be an easy method?  I found something, so tried it.  Not using chinese soups, or else, lid.  Using a leftover lid from one of my quarts of cream.  It... washed well enough.

Now, as a general rule, I am avoiding plastics.  It gets into food.  More so when hot.  Are the "safe" plastics really safe?  I don't think so.  I would really doubt anything "health" or "medical" practitioners suggest these days.  Whether it is because they think more people should die, or because big money pushes them and they have no backbone and just take the money and preach the poison?  Or even other reasons... go with the flow "practicality"?  Yea, no.  I don't trust them.  However, until I can find a metal item, stainless most likely?  This will do.  Contact is short.  For now it will work.

Blood sugar dropped, a bit, to 173.  Not fantastic.  Not sure what the problem is.  Whatever.  I have three patties formed, and ready.  I just need to get the griddle heated.  Then get those done.  I don't think they will take all that long.  They are much more round that I had been able to do, so much thinner.  Should cook quickly.

On bigger burgers, I would do six minutes on each side, on high (starting on medium, for 12 minutes warm up, then high for six minutes, then whatever I am cooking goes on).  Then, three minutes on each side.  Then, usually, calling that cooked.  If I add cheese, I do that on the last three minute run.  With these?  I'm thinking six and six?  Cheese on the last six?  That's the plan.

So tired though.  Getting tunnel vision again, after very little effort.  Not sure what the problem is.  Oh well.  Later.
