Susan, what a fun assignment to be involved with! Lots of extra food for everyone present at the filming, I am figuring!

designanator: Yes--everyone there got to sample some. It was a lot of fun!

Thanks Karin! Bobby was very nice in person. I am a vegetarian so eating the burger was kind of weird for me, but it was good and very easy to make. There is a longer version of this on their site. Anyway...the Curtis Stone thing should be up possibly tomorrow. I just finished shooting something else...I'll put a link when that airs, too. I am fortunate to get some work once in awhile. There are a ton of people trying out here--it's way too competitive. Sometimes I think I'm ready to just call it a day, but then I'll get something (even a small something) and I'm raring to go again. :) I am almost done with that book so I'll be focusing more on that in the near future I think.

I use Hellmann's Mayonnaise. Got any coupons?

Larry - I'm so sorry, I do not have any. :( BUT...I did find a cool website that has a ton of coupons. Who knows, maybe there is one for Helmann's in there somewhere. Here's the website. http://print.coupons.com

I'd love to take a kosher hiatus for some good bacon :)

hard to find in Jerusalem

I could even go for some bacon and berry ice cream now

Jerusalem-mike - Are you pregnant? LOL I think you could make a kosher version of these burgers using a non dairy cheese (maybe a vegan cheese) and just forego the bacon. Or you could just cheat and pray for forgiveness later. Isn't there a whole day for atonement? I think you would be safe.

I have this trick with burgers when adding them to my ketchup ( no my juxtaposition is not off!!). I empty about 1/6th of the ketchup bottle into a small sealed container and place it back into the fridge. Then, I add the entire contents of a bottle of tabasco sauce ( sans bottle) into the ketchup bottle . I then 'shake it' for all it's worth ( a man thing you know) and it becomes the tastiest ketchup around. Being an orderly sort, when I see the ketchup-tabasco concoction level going due south in the bottle, I open up the sealed container and add the remaining ketchup back into the bottle. From there, I just 'shake it' again. I might be going blind and have hairy palms, but I sure keep a mean bottle of ketchup in the fridge!!

jarusalem-mike - that sounds like a great idea to me. My son loves hot sauce and he also loves catsup. I'm gonna have to give that one a try. Thanks for the tip!

This was great fun, so glad you are getting some work.
