Sunday Selections #521

Long, long ago, in days of yore...Kim of Frog ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. 

A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. 

Nothing rude or vulgar though.

The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I occasionally join in as do a few others. Drop in to Elephant's Child and have a look.

Today's selection is quite long, so perhaps get a cup of tea before you begin. 

The star of the day is Meg:

Hello, do you like my hanky apron? Mum said she will make me a proper one when she gets some material. Today I'm helping mum make dinner, we're having burgers, yum

We start with a giant mixing bowl

and lots of ingredients

first we mash up the mince to soften it a bit

then we give a little bit to Lola

mum beats up the eggs and I put in a nice big spoonful of minced garlic

then a big spoonful of dried parsley, parsley is very important, it is high in iron so we don't get anemic, mum puts it in almost everything, but not in cakes or rice pudding

 

and lots of freshly ground black pepper

we set the egg mixture aside and mum added tomato sauce and worcestershire sauce to the mince and mashed it all in, she says it makes a nice flavour

then the egg mixture goes in

and the egg bowl gets rinsed right away, because dried egg is hard to wash off

all the egg is mixed in and the mixture is nice and sloppy

 

so in goes the dried stuffing mix, from a packet of course, mum says stuffing mix adds more flavour than plain breadcrumbs

this is harder to mix in, I think I'll let mum finish it

now comes the messy part, mum has to roll the mixture into balls and try to get them evenly sized

all done! the tiny one is MY burger

most of them now get flattened and separated with baking paper and put into lunch boxes for the freezer

 I got to put the labels on

we had to put them on the top shelf because the freezer baskets are full, I see pizzas in there 😀

now it's time to wash up the mess we made

I love all the bright shiny bubbles

Mum let me have some bubbles to play with

I'm drying my hands on a towel from mum's friend Joanne. Did you know Joanne makes these towels HERSELF? She is a weaver and has her own loom. 

at last it's dinnertime!

mum even let me have some onion

that was very delicious

for dessert mum diced up two fresh peaches, I love these,

but I've had enough, I'll leave these last pieces for mum.
