We have cut down our red meat consumption to about once a week in an effort to eat in a healthier, planet-sustaining manner. Our selection for this week is hamburgers made outside on the grill. John is the grillmaster and my contribution since I am suffering with a bad cold is to direct John to go buy some deli salads at the local grocery store.

We have our burgers with a skim coat of mayo on the bottom roll so it does not get soggy, a slice of onion, and a squirt of ketchup. Sometimes I like to put lettuce and tomato on mine but I am being minimalist tonight. Since potato salad and cole slaw from the store are pretty blah, we fix ours up by adding celery seed, red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper.
