Conversation 25
Hello Peeps time for a new Conversation Thread. This is number 25 out of the
series. I created and started this thread 10 years ago.
I will change it often from now on. This is just a knock around
thread about things in life. My life and others. I am an avid Heidi
Daus Collector, former singer, model and so on. I do this thread because
I enjoy what I do. I love fashion and music and HSN is a little of both.
I cover a lot of music and fashion on this thread. ✨😎
I am going to wish Happy Holidays to all the Peeps out there and please
stay safe. 🌹✨😎

NATIONAL BEEF BURGER DAY
If you hear a sizzle and your mouth begins to water, it just might be National Beef Burger Day! On May 28th and all summer long, there’s no better time to enjoy a juicy beef burger. The day is all about kicking off the grilling season and honoring America’s favorite grilling protein – beef!
A beef burger starts with real ground beef on a bun or between two slices of bread. And don’t forget the toppings like cheese, onions, pickles, and condiments. Each one allows for the perfect customization – the mouthwatering possibilities are endless. Of course, some of us like ours double stacked, and others prefer them spicy. Add those seasonings, too, if you want. What’s really important is what’s in the middle – that delicious beef burger.

NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY
National Hamburger Day on May 28th wraps up National Burger Month and also ushers in the summer grilling season.
Hamburger. Seasoned ground beef, grilled, and placed between two slices of bread or a bun. We even top them with sauteed onions, peppers, pickles, sliced onions, or cheese. Add condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayo. Any of these combinations create a modern American version of a hamburger.
The world’s largest hamburger was 2,566 lb – 9 oz and achieved in Pilsting, Germany, on 9 July 2017.
Much controversy surrounds the origin of the hamburger. However, it most likely first appeared in the 19th or early 20th centuries. Over the years, the hamburger has become a culinary icon in the United States.

NATIONAL BRISKET DAY
Every year on May 28th, National Brisket Day celebrates one of the nine prime cuts of beef. Brisket comes from the breast or lower chest of beef or veal and when prepared correctly, renders both flavor and tenderness.
Brisket is a tough and relatively inexpensive cut of meat. While it requires some patience to cook brisket to tenderness, the reward is well worth the effort. Select a well-marbled cut of meat. The fat will keep the brisket moist and add flavor to the final product. Season it well and give it a dark sear. This will seal in the juices. Cook it slow and cook it long.
It can be cooked in the oven or over indirect heat over charcoal or wood. Many times oak, pecan, hickory, or mesquite is added to the other hardwoods to enhance the flavor. Brisket will be fork tender when it is fully cooked and is then served with or without a sauce.
If you have the grill fired up, go ahead and add some sweet corn and cauliflower, too. Both love the grill and they also complement brisket very well. There are plenty of recipes on the internet that will satisfy all sorts of tastes. Coleslaw and pasta salad also goes well with brisket. Add fresh fruit for this holiday. Depending on where you live, watermelon might be coming into season, but a fresh Waldorf salad would fit the bill, too.

Hi. I used the new pan today and I am loving it. Hubby has been asking for stuffing with chicken and so today I decided to make it. The new pan really came in handy and nothing stuck to the bottom. It will be an easy clean up. I am impressed. Hubby loved the stuffing mixture. Hardest part was putting the veggies and chicken through the new electric chopper. I also forgot to add pineapples. If I bring another batch tomorrow, will add it .
I see you aren’t feeling that well. There is a possibility that you may have Covid again. Definitely check it out because some of the meds that are used need a prescription. They do work. Hope you feel better in no time.

This is late for me. Ran around doing a bunch of small errands, stopped at the cemetery, cooked dinner, did some bills then sat down to watch the hockey game.🏒
Thanks for the early cocktail, I’ll take one each day. Tomorrow I need to clean out the laundry room, do some yard work, clean up and meet our financial advisor for dinner. Wednesday is nails and lunch with mom and sis, Thursday the furnace and A/C installation (I hope they will finish in one day) and Friday is haircut and grocery shopping, whew!🤪
I hope your day was smooth, hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Quick note. I’m running very late. Made a stuffing concoction using the new pan. I am totally impressed. Nothing sticking and the food came out amazing. I just loaded it into a thermos type container to bring with me. Hubby has been wanting a stuffing with chicken and all the fixings. The only missing items are cranberries and chestnuts. Though I have both, left them out due to others being allergic to nuts and me not having fresh cranberries. That will have to wait until I am back on Cape. Right now, they are swimming in water and will not ripen before either September or October.
Hope everyone is safe. That includes the outdoor kitties.

Hi. The temp outside is really very hot with high humidity. I was outside to do a few things and those few things will have to wait until tomorrow. Summer came all of a sudden. It’s been like this for at least a couple of weeks if not longer.
I know you miss your outdoor seasonings and spices. If you have a sunny window, why not plant a couple of the ones you use most often in a planter If you have a floor area that also gets the sun, you can start there with a dish underneath to catch the overflow of soil and water. Put a basket on your walker and you can carry them anywhere. Just be sure the planter is light weight. You can spritz them at the kitchen sink or use a light weight watering can. By the time they start sprouting, you will be feeling better.
Hubby has trouble swallowing. If I bring him food, it has to be soft. Ice cream has come in handy. So has spaghetti and meatballs with sauce. He loves macaroni and cheese. He keeps asking for apples, but those for now are a no no. However, I will try one as an experiment in a stir fry. The other thing he keeps asking for is my stuffing with chicken. That I will try to do today. I have a small chopper and a blender, but will see how the chopping goes. I do have chicken in the freezer. Will add some surprises to the mix. I love experimenting.
Did you ever think of getting a twin hospital bed for downstairs. Health insurance should be able to cover the cost or part of it. When you are able to climb those stairs, you can have it picked up or you can donate it. I need to get one for hubby and thus I will be donating our queen metal bed and purchasing a twin for myself. Luckily our Master can accommodate both.
I am also brining yogurt mixed with blueberries and dragon fruit. I nuked the fruit together and it’s like having ice cream with fruit. I no longer can eat the Yogurt because it’s fermented, but maybe it’s something you can enjoy. Also puddings. Oh, in case you don’t know, please stick with your pasteurized milk. They have found that bird flu can be carried in fresh milk. I’m also not sure if our Farmer’s Market are still selling it. I will be there either today or tomorrow and will let you know. Seems some farmers have contacted bird flu from their cattle. So far there have only been a couple of cases. Yikes!!!!
The new farmer’s market is now near me. They have all kinds of take out food as well as homemade pizza and donuts. I sometimes grab a sandwich and a salad to eat with hubby. There is talk that they may be going to St. Pete. It is Amish owned so there are no preservatives added. I love their fruit and veggies, especially when there is a sale.
Have a great day. Stay inside.
