contemplating on birthday burger

i say, hwubby, what do you want for your birthday lunch? with his big eyes lit up with wonder, he says, burger. all right, so burger it is. we head straight to where andrea tells us to go. my inner voice says, one is enough for the two of you. i walk through the door, look around, check out the gigantic portions on the tables around us and i know the inner self is right. i gobble up a lot of the fries. well, i just can't say no to a good fry. light, crispy skin; unpeeled and that's good news for me because i love fried potato skin; not greasy which says a lot about the quality of the place; nice and rich potato taste. what about the burger? well-seared surface, juicy middle, flavorful meat. but, in my opinion which is worth not more than 2 cents, the bacon ought not be here. i love a good bacon and this bacon is good, a nice balance of fat and meat. it deserves to have its own spot. i have to eat it separately also for the reason that it won't overpower the delicate tone in the properly grilled burger.

what would have happened if i didn't listen to the guidance from the inner self? i would have overdosed, got myself sick and heavy. instead i sashay my way out, feeling fulfilled and light all at once. is hwubby happy with his birthday burger? ecstatic.

ps, 10/20/09. i forget all about the bun. i guess it's because i'm wheat -sensitive. i just wonder what would be strong enough to soak up the meat juice and still retain some texture and not gluey. hmmm, what would my aunt julia use? i do remember she making a burger with jacques and eating it. what does she use? i think it's the bun that they use for making this french style ham and cheese, they use gruyere, plenty of butter and then fry both sides. what's the name of the sandwich? my inner voice says, google it. yeah, but what's the question, like, what's the bun that julia child uses for her french style ham and cheese sandwich?
