Isn't she a beaut? I took a style cue from John Yobo and mixed some garlic into the meat, along with some chopped mushrooms. I'm having it on whole wheat toast with pepper jack cheese, stone-ground mustard, and fresh spinach. Watch your broiler times; mine came out a bit underdone at first. I'm sure the fine people at Burger King might have some tips for that. In the end, it was succulent and delicious.

Having It My Way
I felt an unstoppable craving for burgers tonight, and I had to indulge. Not the first time I've explored this subject, but it is the first time in a while that I've made a burger of my own, and I think the results are worth attention:

Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout
Since moving to Sonoma County, I've developed a wonderful new relationship with the Lagunitas brewing company. Put simply, what they brew, I drink. I'm experiencing a lot of their seasonals for the first time this year, and when I saw this the other day I couldn't resist:
Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout. How thoughtful of them to combine two things I love into one. Like chocolate and peanut butter, they go together so well. I enjoy stouts, and at first pour I was lost in the oppressive blackness that threatened to jettison my glass from the universe.
The brew is beyond rich. The pale-brown head and bittersweet aroma truly invoke a fresh cappuccino. The beer goes down full-bodied, creamy, and just slightly sweet. I know that coffee beers are nothing new, but this Cappuccino Stout is so finely crafted that it can't be overlooked. Before you have one, I recommend you clear your calendar; it's worth lingering over.
That's a pastrami sandwich on focaccia next to the stout. I don't know why, but lately I've been craving only things like sandwiches and burritos. What does this obsession with lunch mean?
