I flew too close to the sun with this recipe!  In my mind it turned out amazing, um, not so much!

3 ounces 93% beef, chopped pickled peppers, fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup refried beans (1 tablespoon whole grain bread crumbs added later)

While I had hoped that while it didn’t look pretty, it would taste great, the texture of the refried beans made me think I was eating raw beef, even though the burger was cooked – and I could have added a TON more pickled peppers, I hardly tasted them.  Oh well!  Back to the drawing board on that one!

After dinner Hannah and I took Ed to the river and back.  The mosquitos are already out in full force!  Of course, this is the part of the river that was flooded, so its to be expected, I just didn’t think so early!  Definitely time to put the gazebo up this weekend!

A boat just went by - hence the waves!

Just finished mopping the floor so I did this post while it dried.  Off to chillax with Tony!  See you tomorrow – Friday and a long weekend at that!
