Ok. Truth? Sometimes I am just too hungry to bother taking a crap-ton of photos of whatever we’re cooking. And/or checking to make sure what few photos I take are actually decent. But sometimes the food results are just so yummy I have to share despite that. This is such a case. I’m not huge on drinking beer, but cooking with it? Yes, please. It does tasty wonders for meaty things. These are particularly great because they have actual veggies worked into the burger itself.
Burger, chips & beer. You can tell this is Ian's plate because of the beer.
