Final day of the month and final issue for September. Thankfully I have managed to get all the posts done before the month has ended. However it will have to be a post and go as I really need to get some sleep tonight as I have to be up early and head off to a doctor's appointment in another town. I am not normally a morning person so will need to get to bed pretty soon.
From this lovely issue I decided to make Valli Little's Homestyle beef burger. It was nice but, to be honest, not that different from most burgers. I do like a good burger. Home made are always the best. Although one of our local cafes makes a very good hamburger too. I didn't put capsicum on it. I also didn't have any aioli so I used some of my homemade tomato relish and spread the bun with mild English mustard. I guess that the capsicum and aioli would have added a bit of a twist on a regular burger. Sometimes I just have to compromise or should that be want to compromise.
