...so then, burgers. It's an American obsession. Let George show you how to make more regional smashburgers in his unique fashion. His Mom also provides a guide to Southern geography and language. Enjoy! BTW, George has dozens of these, and the Burger Show archives are a treasure.

I will share my pimento cheese recipe this weekend. If I don't forget, that is...

edit:

I also ask this question: Just how high is George? a) Julius Erving's Afro; b) Roland the Headless Tailgunner; c) Telstar; d) Betelgeuse

Add your thoughts below. I'm looking at you, @tommye ...

Surprised his Ma even answered the phone when she realized it was that Bellend.

Hahaha this video clip is hilarious. I really enjoy watching this video and I'm definitely trying some of these regional burgers.

I look forward to your post with the pimento cheese recipe. I'm sure you eaten fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese. One of my favorites summer appetizers.

How is everything going with your food intake? Did you finish your pizza?

I used to make something very similar to this but we would poach the pears in wine and goat cheese with balsamic reduction.

RE: your pralined walnuts have you thought about getting a sugar sheet and letting them cool and then breaking them apart off of that? The sugar sheet has a lot of uses especially if you do a lot of baking.

Sounds so yummy. I have to try making the salad with your variations. Thanks for the suggestion. During this time of the year I like to eat a lot more salads than stews or pasta

Tbh I had never considered getting a sugar sheet but now I am lol My birthday is coming up so I want to get some new kitchen items and the sugar sheet is going to be added to my gift list.

25 kitchen tips and tricks that will change your life

There are some things in life that, had you only known them before, could have saved you a whole bunch of mission and effort.

1. If you place your meat in the freezer for a bit, it’ll be easier to cut those wafer thin slices for carpaccio.
2. Don’t bother peeling garlic, just cut off the root end and squish it with the flat side of the blade.
3. Bacon. Unless you’re veggie, it makes most things better.
4. You can peel ginger with a spoon without losing all that extra ginger.
5. Use unscented floss to cut through soft things like cheeses or cakes.
6. Keep your butter in the freezer and then grate it for baking and pastries. It mixes into the flour easier and melts quicker.
7. Egg shells are best for fishing out bits of egg shell. Why? Because they’re sharp and cut through the egg.
8. Freeze left-over French press or pour over coffee into ice trays. They make for blitzing quick ice coffees without diluting them.
9. Pop frozen grapes into your wine to keep them chilled and undiluted.
10. Eggs peel easiest if you add some bicarb to the water and then pop it in cold water afterwards.
11. Freeze bananas without their skins (because they’re a hack to peel when frozen) for epic smoothie additions.
12. Citrus fruits, tomato, cheese and chocolate all taste best at room temperature.
13. Using Spray ‘n’ Cook in measuring cups before measuring sticky ingredients like honey and syrup, makes them slide right out.
14. Before chopping chillies, rub your hands with veg oil to prevent them from absorbing the chilli oils.
15. Take your pasta off the stove just a tinge before al dente. When you pour it into the colander, quickly pop the pot back below to catch the water. The steam will keep the noodles hot and stop them from sticking.
16. To remove any funny food odours from your hands, washing them with salt or rubbing your hands against the stainless steel tap work a charm.
17. Don’t let leftover wine go to waste. Freeze it in wine cubes and use for adding to sauces like bolognese.
18. Pop a celery stick into the bread bag if it starts to go off. This is said to restore the freshness for a bit.
19. Over salted your soup or stew? Plop in a potato (peeled, mind you) and the little guy will absorb all the salt. (It takes about 10 minutes.)
20. Soak popcorn kernels in water for 10 minutes, drain then pop, for super-quick popping, fluffy popcorn.
21. Peel the potatoes after you’ve cooked them and soaked them in cold water for a while. Skins come right off.
22. Separate your bananas (and store them away from other fruit) to prevent them from going off quicker.
23. Chicken breasts taste best if you whack them with anything sturdy (like a rolling pin) beforehand. Meat tenderising is a thing. Or cut them across the grain (short sections, not long) as this also cuts the fibres and looks best for serving.
24. Cut lettuce with a plastic or ceramic knife to keep it from bruising. (No seriously, just use your picnic knife – or rip it apart instead of cutting it.)
25. Clean an egg boiler by boiling it for a short while with a bit of vinegar in it. It will lift and dissolve everything.

12. False. Chocolate tastes the best out of the fridge.

Not really. Mine just sips her wine, pets the cat on her lap, and wakes me up in my recliner when it's time to go to bed. I count my blessings.
