cheeseburgers in paradise

I know I've told you about cheeseburgers in paradise b4 but this was a real good revisit to the jimmy buffet song again at our house. We had our good friends Butch and Janie over and it was great!!

I went to the store and got some 90-10 ground beef, some sliced cheese and tomatoes and onions.

When I got home I put the meat in a mixing bowl and busted it up a little. Sprinkled some parmesan cheese, basil, onion powder, salt and pepper and mixed it up with my hands. Made it into burgers and put them in the fridge. Sliced up the onions and tomatoes and put them on a plate. I had some frozen french fries in the freezer and I spread enough for the the 4 of us out on a cookie sheet.

Butch, janie and Mimmie (their great little dog) came over and we "happy houred" for a while. Then Butch lit up the grill and I lit up the oven. I put the taters in the oven a few minutes b4 butch put the burgers on. While the cooking was going on I put the tomatoes and onions out. I told butch i wanted my buns toasted and he laughed and said ok. The potaoes and the burgers were done at the same time and it was great.

Then we had some espresso, anisette and some of poppop's world class cheesecake. Of course there was some good red wine threading it's way thru the whole meal.
