And it was good.
I'm making fried chicken with potato salad and fresh watermelon for dessert.
Seasoned perch, baked. Served on white rice. Nothing fancy.
Things I sometimes play...
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be a unicorn!"
"Awww, why's that?"........
"So I can stab people with my face."

I got some of that too, but I don't feel like dealing with the mess of cutting it tonight. Will probably serve as an afternoon snack tomorrow. :)
Do you make your own patties or they're premade?
I buy the premade frozen ones. Homemade patties always end up being too thick or falling apart.

The trick to keeping them together is to ninja in a little bit of ground pork. I don't know why, but it keeps the patties together nicely AND tastes good.
I don't mean a ton of pork, either. Just a little bit.
My best friend's grandma taught me that recipe and the burgers she would make were fantasticle.
Watermelon ruins the two perfectly good tastes of water and melon by combining them into an insubstantial red mess without the good of either.
You can also add an egg to the ground meat to keep the burger patties together.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I have problems with food textures, even if they taste alright without it.
Coconut and blueberries are other examples, as are almonds and popcorn.

Blueberries are so good, though. Popcorn makes my tummy hurt. It's a Crohn's thing.
Lima beans are a texture I could never get around. And baked beans.
I usually use an egg or two and breadcrumbs in my burgers. you can use oatmeal if you don't have breadcrumbs. Pork helps burgers bind simply because pork binds better on its own.
I typically make an onion and garlic + herbs mixture, then combine that with ground beef, and egg, breadcrumbs, and optional other flavours. I find that dried apricots add a really nice sweet flavour and chipotle peppers add a nice smoky spicy flavour. All chopped fine of course. You can mix these in with the onions to properly combine all the flavours. Let it all cool a bit before mixing the other stuff as otherwise it will cook a bit.
A secret to making really good burgers that don't change shape to suck is to make it wider then you want, and have the edges be thicker then the middle. As it cooks it will contract slightly and the middle will get thicker.
Shredded potatoes make for an interesting texture, they just need to be cooked slower and longer so the potato cooks a bit more.

I am a huge fan of the potato. Sometimes, I eat a raw potato and a raw carrot for dinner and nothing else.
You have to put salt on the potato, though.
I've found that adding cheese to the ground meat helps burgers stick together after it has heated up a bit.

On this same vibe, I saw a clip from Man vs Food, with two burger patties, and a large amount of cheese between the two of them, sealed together and grilled til the center of the meat was 185 degrees.
Something called a Juicy Lucy.

It's nice to finally meet someone whom I can actually relate with when it comes to being a picky eater.
I have issues with majority of the fruit and veggie variety mostly because of the texture. I tried to force feed myself a caesar salad with grilled chicken once and lost my appetite.
It's a real problem.

I dislike onion, though everyone told me when I was an adult I'd like it.

Even in batter dipped, deep fried ring format?
They told me the same thing when I was growing up. I kinda like it, but it has to be heavily cooked to remove that acrid flavor. If it's still crunchy at all, odds are good I can't eat it.

You just made the list.

Even then.
And **** you, Kavekk. No, not really. Try salted, raw potato. You won't be sorry.

Most things that feel bad taste fine, which is unfortunate. Cherries and blueberries and coconut in particular are really nice in yogurt.
