6.21.10 Scott's burgers with avocado & sourdough, old mason jars & pedi chairs

-
an old mason jar, chilled with brew & lime...hard to beat a classic
Got my pedi chair and tub into my pedi room today..and Scott stayed today (been commuting to OK City for business) to help me get it in..and now is staying to make us burgers...so happy...was so stressed about this dang pedi situation, getting my tub plumbed and all...such a "girl" sometimes, fretting too much...ended up being a great day.
Scott's burger's are just the best...ground chuck, seasoned with coarse kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and a dash of garlic powder...maybe a teeny bit of cayenne.  Seared very hot, so they are crusty on the outside and pink and tender inside..usually on the cast iron skillet, or on the grill.  He's grown fond of toasted sourdough for the bun, and sliced avocado (inspired by a recent burger at B.J.'s) Served with baked beans and bbq kettle chips...a summer favorite.
