Anybody like hamburgers? Of course you do.

Do you think it happens in the burger business?

It seems that people get perks to go into blogs and pump up some brand. The US is gonna monitor blogs and jump on them. Go figure.:confused:

So,now they're trying to get rid of word of mouth advertising.It's a good thing "they" don't make Pontiacs,Oldsmobiles and Plymouths anymore,we can chat them up all we want and Toyota can't complain...Maybe it's about the companies involved,not paying the webhost an ad fee.They're paying it to the bloggers...So,,,how 'bout them Studebakers?..

 

I think it's probably the homemaker sites. Gals get down to yakking about vinegar and lemon cleaning brews and somebody chimes in about a new glass stovetop cleaner. Sort of slips in there and nobody notices. Just one of the gals.

Little different in our older stuff. Elbow-grease and a pocket full of pop-bottle money. (The gals got the big coin for the stovetop cleaner.)

 

I translated your recipe into American and shared it with my readers.
Thank you so much for the info!!!!

PB, have you ever run a piece on all the different kinds of outdoor cooking devices? India and Pakistan have had solar parabolic cookers for 5,000 years. Incas and Mayans used portable clay cookers/steamers, and outdoor rotisseries, and the common 1960's brick BBQ.

Up here, in the land of 4 foot snow drifts, they're flogging these shiny stainless steel monsters that cost more than a high-end kitchen range, permanently connected to your gas service!

I like the old stuff. You get to sniff the kerosene or naphta gas or wood charcoal, or watch the sun 'nuke' your meat in about 10 minutes, with the South Asian oldschool tech!

 

Since my job is to write about hamburgers, I'm kind of limited in what I can write about.
I suppose you could cook a burger on one of those parabolic devices, but wouldn't the spattering grease quickly decrease the mirrors efficency?

 

I'll have to try that! I think the South Asians use it more for steaming and slow-cooking. One thing BBQs don't do too well! I'll bet it would be great for deep-frying too.

 

PB, is this of any interest?

I recommend beer. Either in a bottle or an aluminum can, problem solved.

 

Did you know that you can still buy Coke in glass bottles in Mexico? Some of the old fridge-style machines still dispense them too, with the 7-cent price changed. The olde green glass bottles. And it does taste better too.

 

It does taste better in glass.
Most Coca Cola bottlers outside the US (and Canada?) use sugar, rather than high fructose corn syrup in the formula. That makes a BIG difference.

Yeah, we're on the Fructose mixture here too.

I want to set up a corner in the new kitchen to make carbonated drinks, iced tea, etc. In Quebec, you could buy Spruce Beer for years, maybe still can. Anyway, lotsa folks made their own. No alcohol content, just looks like beer, but it sure is refreshing.

 

strange how that works

Willie Nelson did a PBS show about his plans for regional bio-diesel networks,based on cottonseed oil---and the direct reponse from the gasoline industry was to make a run on corn(with which they make ethanol) The result was,news articles about how alternative forms of automobile fuel will cause food shortages all around the world.And,how if we don't want people to starve,maybe the best thing to do is,to keep buying gasoline...Here in America,sugar just isn't bad,it's evil.Sugar substitutes MUST be used,no matter what the bad side-effect might be(nutrasweet,in sodas that go warm,turns into a low grade formic acid---the stuff ants are made of---and causes people to be irritable and have violent outbursts)Sugar just makes you chubby and rots your teeth.,,Oh,and studies are inconclusive,but,it looks like nutrasweet doesn't stop you from being chubby and it rots your teeth...And you can't make alternative automobile fuels from nutrasweet,either.
