Homemade hamburger buns

Baking

Great recipe in the current issue of Gourmet Magazine (it was a gift subscription). Homemade hamburger buns and hot dog buns. I almost burnt out the motor in my food processor-a word of caution, it's a stickier dough. We'll see how they turn out!

Gotta love a man who is not afraid to wear a Hello, Kitty band-aid.

My Daddy. Today at the American Legion Memorial Day Memorial and dinner.
He served in the Air Force. He served stateside in Alaska during the Korean War.
Handsome dude! I love you, Daddy!

Memorial Day Weekend

Bittersweet. My cousin's son died in 2005 at the age of 22 in the Iraq War. Eric was my cousin Bruce's only biological son. Way too often, on the radio and various TV programs, the ages of those who gave their lives for our continuing freedom in this brutal war, are at 19, 20, 21, 22. Young men and woman who have not had a chance at life. My heart goes out to you. Thank you.


Why do I say bittersweet? It is also the weekend of the Indianapolis 500. As a born and bred Hoosier, it is an exciting weekend. A Memorial Day institution in the heart of the Midwest. I still get goosebumps when I hear Jim Nabors sing "Back Home Again in Indiana". He is 78.

For those of you interested in the history of the Indy 500 check out Wikipedia. Today is the 93rd running. And there are already 2 drivers out.

Have a safe and fun Memorial Day Weekend!

Happy Mother's Day!
