BURGERS AND A FUNKY SORT OF DAY





After a lot more sleep than usual,thanks to a large dose of Tramadol and a couple of codeines things looked and felt a little better this morning. The floaty effect of the tablets is not unpleasant,it does however hamper any serious work,or though if it comes to that.


Felling really funky I rolled downstairs after my toast and coffee with my son and made breakfast for Pa,before he set of to the see one of his Consultants, I took another couple of codeine and then set about making some burgers for dinner.

Pork and Tomato burgers stuffed with Brie

1lb lean pork mince

4 oz fresh white bread crumbs

4 oz sun dried tomatoes and about a tablespoon of the oil they are soaked in

half a teaspoon of onion salt

a good grating of black pepper

1 desert spoon of Dijon mustard

6 small cubes of Brie

Mix all the ingredients together except for the Brie, squeeze and squish it together until all the crumbs are well mixed an the tomato broken to small pieces.

Divide in to six equal pieces and form on to balls ,make a hole in each and carefully push in the
Brie. Seal the hole then form in to burgers on a flat surface ,ensuring that both sides are quote flat and the cheese sealed in side. Chill for several hours.

Shallow fry or grill for about six minutes each side. Serve on toasted burger buns with lots of caramelised onion, jacket wedges,dips and salad.


Dip 1 three tablespoons of mayonnaise

1 dessert spoon of your favourite mustard.

Mix the two together then chill.


Dip 2 1 small tub crème fraich

small bunch of chives

salt and pepper

Chop the chives ans mix with the crème fraich,season to taste then chill


Dip 3 three tablespoons of mayonnaise

half a teaspoon of garlic salt

half a teaspoon of Italian herbs

Mix all the ingredients together then chill.

Make a dressing for your salad using some of the tomato oil mixed with cider vinegar and a little pepper and salt.

This low preparation meal was perfect for today and caused little pain on bother.

Tomorrow will be more of a challenge as it is a bread making day, still Pa is off to St Tommy's Hospital so shall have the kitchen to myself.

I tried some Apache potatoes today and very good they were,small but very tastey.
