The plan was to cook the burgers Sous Vide and finish on the grill. However, the power went out and the burgers went straight to the grill. The buns were also toasted on the grill. All was good! Still waiting for the power to come back on, but in the meantime, we have the generator working, so we have fridge, lights, fans, and internet.

Really more of a snack, but this is what I had... Nachos!

I love them, too! These are Member’s Mark Whole Artichoke Hearts, packed in water, and sold at Sam’s Club. I drained them, sliced in half, sprinkled with lemon juice, added a couple of pats of butter and black pepper, then covered with waxed paper and heated in the microwave. My DH does not like artichokes, so they are all mine!
