Or maybe I'm the motheree type? I wonder if it's that
obvious that I got crummy parenting to begin with.

Rosemary here is the least of the lot in that regard - I
do more coddling of her, making sure she gets enough to
eat, and so on - something her late husband used to do;
he too was the primary cook in the house (and it was this
interest that brought us all together). Maybe it's almost
time for another visit to Annie?

 NB> My preference, too... or at least a quarter or third-pounder..  ;) 

Five Guys (I typed Fie Guys) gives you two 1/5 lb patties
for the regular order (you can get a single patty, but I
find that that makes for a too high percentage of bun.
It's an interesting combination of fast food and upscale,
and to me it doesn't work that well, though the public
seems to respond to the offering. I patronize the chain
mostly when I'm in a hurry or an airport.

 NB> I'll eat the thin greasy ones when I need food, though...  ;)

I don't mind them, but real meat really is better.

Ah, for the olden days. How many were at the first
Maryland picnic? Dozens.

 NB> justify it...  ;)   Would small roasts be harder to control the
 NB> variables...?
 
Small roasts are more commonly called "steaks." And, no,
they don't work as well in the oven.

      Title: Cheeseburgers With an Attitude
 Categories: Groundmeat, Beef, Cheeses
      Yield: 2 servings
 
      2    Thick hamburger patties
           -(pref. ground sirloin)
      2 sl Blue cheese big enough
           -to cover the  patties
      2 sl Sweet red onion
      4 sl Bacon, cooked until crisp
      2 sl Tomato (optional)
           Mayonnaise
           Salt, garlic powder,
           Coarse-ground pepper
      2    Kaiser rolls, split
 
  Preheat your grill, and toss on the hamburger patties and onion
  slices. Grill until the onions are nicely browned and the patties are
  done to your liking (medium rare around here).  Add the split kaiser
  rolls, cut side down, a few minutes before the burgers are done, to
  allow the rolls to toast slightly.  When you put the rolls on the
  grill, also place the blue cheese slices on top of the hamburger
  patties.
  
  Spread toasted rolls lightly with mayonnaise, top with the patties,
  bacon slices, grilled onions, a tomato slice.  Cover with the top of
  the remaining half of the rolls, and chow down.
