I got it! As I was growing up, we almost always had burgers on Friday nights! Literally, every Friday of my life going as far back as I can remember has always been either hamburgers, tacos, fajitas or sloppy joes for dinner, followed by the mandatory gathering of the family around the TV to watch TGIF... well, until everyone grew up. Or they moved The X-files to friday nights. And my parents started watching Homicide: Life on the Streets. What was the Fox Sunday lineup before the X-files moved? Or am I thinking of the switch backwards? Anyway, off topic! That's the reason that I eat burgers almost EVERY Friday, sometimes home made, sometimes restaurant. Come to think of it, I do eat a lot of burgers, in general. I better look into that and see if I need to cut back.
The Mexican Wednesday thing is completely beyond me. I just arbitrarily cook Mexican food on Wednesdays. I have no idea why.
The burgers I made on the 1st were an odd concoction. I took my standard burger patties and sat in the kitchen going "what now?" Blair nixed my first idea of Gummy Bear stuffed burgers. I don't blame her. I went through the kitchen. I grabbed Grey Poupon, French Fried Onions, frozen white onions, barbecue sauce, Gruyère cheese and bourbon. So, I sweat out the frozen onions and then poured a bit of beef stock in with them. I was going to cook the burgers in this. My next step was the que sauce.
The sauce, if I recall correctly, was Miejer "Thick Barbecue Sauce" cut with half a bottle of Miller Life, two shots of Buffalo Trace Bourbon, a tablespoon of Habenero hot sauce, two tablespoons of Grey Poupon, some dried chipotle, french fried onions and a mixture of salt, pepper and other spices. The out come was a thick, flavorful sauce that worked well with what I came up with for the patties.
PS. The X-files started on Friday and moved to Sunday... so I got confused. Also,
