Juiciest Burgers Ever

It's funny Nick didn't tell this part of yesterday...
I found this recipe on allrecipes.com a while back for the "juiciest hamburgers ever." We don't eat red meat often, so these burgers are a huge treat for us to have them and last night was one of those special nights. So, there's corn on the cob that was grilled in foil and then the beautiful, juicy burgers, some nice wheat buns and all the fixins - onion, tomato, lettuce, pickle, ketchup,mustard...all ready to go, sitting on the table, waiting for me to get off the phone with Tina. It wasn't exactly a phone call I wanted to rush - she had just finished a job interview and I wanted all the details - plus we hadn't talked in a few days. So we talked a bit, blah blah, then Nick starts going ballistic. We all know Nick doesn't get upset very often, so he must be mad...like, super mad. Apparently, Wrigley had struck again. (Marc knows what that means!) So Wrigley ate one whole burger and part of another...which is quite a bit considering I only made four to start with! He's quite sneaky, that Wrigley is...neither of us saw him take the first or second burger off the serving plate. But once he was caught, Wrigley comes all crawling up to mommy...like I can protect him from the wrath of daddy??? Tina made a comment...it does not sound like daddy is very happy. I said no, relayed the events to her and quickly got off the phone. Needless to say, Wrigley and Rusty high-tailed it to their cages where they spent the rest of dinner. Sophie hid under our bed once Nick got to yelling at Wrigley and she only came out after dinner was done. Of course, that didn't take long when half the dinner went to the dogs :-)

New rule: keep food on the counter until we are ready to eat, to prevent against unruly weiner dogs taking our dinner!

I thought Marc would especially love this entry...think pot roast on the table at his house, waiting for him after a long day at work, and little, innocent, angelic Wrigley comes along, gets on the table, and eats the pot roast right out of the dish!

Here's the link to the recipe for those burgers...seriously, they're awesome!
