I like making my own burger, too, and angus beef here isn’t expensive which is really great. I would normally grill them stovetop, too, then prep all vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes & onions normally) and cheese on different bowls for my boys to do their own serving. YUM!

Comment on Garlic Fried Rice by Greg

I am married to a filipina. I had heard of this being a common breakfast item in PI, and did enjoy it as part of the free breakfast buffet at my Manila hotel. Funny thing is, I now like to prepare this in the morning with bacon and an egg.

My wife just will not eat the garlic rice. She loves garlic as most filipinas do, and has rice 3 times a day, but only her plain white rice. I am the one hooked on the garlic rice now. Oh, and I use the a bit of bacon grease for my fat instead of cooking just in oil, and I like my garlic slightly browned. Yummy!

I LOVE these. I have made them twice. I add about 1/3 less sugar and substitute unsweetend almond milk for regular milk (again to lower the sugar) and they taste light, fluffy, moist and amazing. Plus, they are so easy to make. Thank you!

nice to see u posting again.

i lost Nan’s sharpener that worked really well. since it was a round thing about an inch and a half in diameter, i guess i must’ve thrown it out with the trash anyway, i bought a wusthoff sharpener that kinda looks like that one you have but it’s very temperamental – u kinda have to get ur knife at the right angle to sharpen it – if not, i think it dulls the blade instead!

i will look for a farberware sharpener like urs.
