Hamburgers I finally love

Growing up I hated hamburgers. They were just yucky. I hated when we would go out to eat at fast food places, because that was all that was on the menu. Then in junior high school, a major fast food franchise came out with chicken nuggets for a Oriental campaign they were doing. I had found something I could order and be happy with.
Well, about 7 years ago we went on a camping trip to Flaming Gorge with the extended family. There was a meal we were in charge of, and we decided to do hamburgers. S
o on the way to the "Gorge", we stopped at my sister's grocery store where my other sister worked in the meat department. I had ordered some hamburger patties and she was going to have them ready for us. A few nights later when we cooked them, I tried one, and they were delicious!!!
On the way back home, we picked up another order for a brother in law (as he loved them, too).
Well, not too long ago, I decided to ask my sister how I could make hamburgers that tasted as good as the ones she had made. She was no longer working for our other sister, so I thought she might divulge the secret.
It's Not a big secret at all!
The past few summers I have purchased hamburger when it goes on sale in those humongous packages. I take it home. Separate it into 2 pound sections.
Then start mixing. Add one package of onion soup mix and one egg to 2 pounds of hamburger. Mix together with your hands. Yuck! I know, but works the best. You can also add the following: Worcestershire Sauce, Cheese of any kind, Liquid Smoke, A-1.
Form the hamburger into patties. I usually make them just about as big as a bun and at most half an inch thick. Now cook.
I will also freeze them for later, separating the patties with wax paper.

Sticker Earrings

What do you get when you mix Glue Dots and Gems?

Sticker Earrings!!  

Super easy, super cheap!  

And no tears if they are lost (from mom, anyway).

They did only stay on for about 2 hours, so I may try the larger Glue Dots.  But for now, we are all set for the non pierced Miss.

I Must Confess, I Have a Fetish

 For these things.  You might have heard of them, they're called earrings.

 For the past year, Miss D has been asking to get her ears pierced.  I wasn't quite sure about this.  I did pierce the oldest Misses when they were quite small.  But have been waiting for the girls to take the lead on this.  So, since it has been a year, We finally decided to take the plunge.

Miss E decided not to get her's pierced, so we opted for clip-on's.

I reminded her that Grandma K never had her ears pierced, 

so it was just fine if she decided not to.

Grandma K has lots and lots of clip on earrings 

that were super fun, and you couldn't tell.
