This is going to be a perfect weekend, and since I'm a Jedi, I can tell.  I can tell because I had a good day at school today, despite my tooth, because it doesn't really hurt anymore, minus the pressure because there's a little bit of pain when I eat.  But it's still better.  I have no homework.  It is fall, officially.  And it was all dark and gloomy today, which I like.  It was rainy, which is good.  
I'm not like a gloom-demon, I just like the rain and cool weather.  
Even though I would not have chosen this particular dish to celebrate the weather, I thought it was good.  I like hamburgers, but they're not my first choice.  
My first choice is one of the following: 
- pizza
 - Asian food
 - Mexican.
 
My mom didn't didn't want to defrost a gluten free hamburger bun because we already had a GF hotdog bun out...

...so I cut it in half and made sliders for me using a little tool the Texas Beef Council mailed my mom as part of that luncheon she went to last week (she guest blogged here, remember?).  
I thought using that tool was kind of an interesting tool because it makes, like, a perfect circle out of the meat.    

What makes these burgers different from a regular hamburger is:
- They're not processed, per our food philosophy (which is healthy and, like, make your own stuff)
 - You put sautéed red onions in it
 - You put an egg in it (which we bypassed because we didn't have any eggs--shocking!--or egg whites, and even though I went to the neighbors to borrow one, no one was home because they were at the high school football game which we were not at because it's an away game)
 - Cracker crumbs, but we used GF corn flake crumbs
 - Shredded parmesan cheese
 
I think these were good, but they weren't muy perfecto because:
- They were too thick
 - I'm just not a huge fan of hamburgers
 
I give them 1 3/4 THUMBS UP.  My dad would have liked more zing, but he still ate 2 of them, plus Caleb's 1/8 leftover.
