Prequel to the 1st week in Feb 2013

Hello everyone,

New week for Pops and me but the weekend for all of you...
Hope next week brings in God's blessings, good news, a week filled with accomplishments and a promise of a better week to come!

Our weekend was lovely... Peace and Happiness visited our home... we had planned a Sea Food Bonanza. But as Murphy's law would have it.... there was no "good' fish available! I think the sea is a bit rough and there was no fresh fish available and we had to make do with what we got. So, a planned menu of Crabs, stuffed pomfrets, stuffed squid, and fish curry, changed to..... King Fish curry, Prawns Pattiya, stuffed squid, fried king fish , sprouted moong with coconut and fried Lady's fingers. And I made carrot halwa. It was all so good!

So we had a nice quiet and gentle time. I think we have grown used to each other so it was pleasant and a happy day! Hopefully for Peace and Happiness too. We had hoped to go to the Creek Park and watch the fireworks, but it didnt happen.... full stomachs and laziness probably.

I will send you photos when I can download them, from my camera. And this time round, it is important, as news of our Sea Food Fiesta has reached Europe.....! Actually just Lovi and Kim and I have promised to eat a few extra morsels on his behalf.

So plans for the week are in the offing. Most important being, getting my medicals done with. ON the biz front, contacting some of my old 'boyfriends' and getting some business from them.

So, take care and enjoy the weekend and energize for another week of work and play!

Love and hugs,
Mum

tamie's Notes:

I love ground turkey, but I had to come up with a way to keep the lean meat moist and flavorful. Tex Mex flavors evoke memories of home in South Texas. And when my grandkids liked this burger, I knew I had a winning combo! I'll grill up both mini and regular burger patties. The girls love Mimi's "baby burgers" and these made as sliders are their fave! For the heartier appetites of the "real men" I grill thick, juicy patties that make everyone smile. Even the men who only eat beef in my family will devour this turkey burger! And I just feel good serving them.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

Yum! A really great turkey burger with tons of veggies, terrific flavor and a scrumptious cilantro aioli! There's no way your team's not winning when you serve this one...

Directions

1

 Heat your grill!
Finely dice the pepper and onion.
Brown the bacon and set aside to drain.
In a large mixing bowl, add ground turkey, pepper, and onion. Take the bacon and crumble it into the mixture. Add the spicy mustard, cumin, chili powder, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix lightly. Make patties out of the mixture for grilling.

2

 For the cilantro aioli, in a food processor add the mayo, the fresh cilantro (without stems), a squeeze of lemon if you have it and a dash of hot sauce (or two or three...) Mix and set aside in a small bowl in the cooler or fridge.

Immediately before you assemble the burgers, slice the avocados.

3

 Grill the patties and set aside under a foil tent to allow them to cook a little more get juicier!

To assemble the burgers, I heat the buns on the still hot grill and place in a basket.

Set out all the fixings - buns, patties, lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, aioli and get set for a fiesta in your mouth!
