For now, this is sort of a journal. I'm incorporating some interesting "events" in my day-to-day living, but for the most part, you won't find much that's spectacular to look at here.

privileged to
view.
It
will make you
smile. And,
everyone can
use a smile
once in
awhile.
Watch Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart perform this amazing
classic, this gave me such a rush. This is an emotional moment as well,
because the son of their dear friend and drummer John Bonham is playing
the drums. John passed away right after the height of Led Zeppelin.
Watch and watch again the following video and LISTEN CAREFULLY to the wording - In Patient vs Observation. Fight to get your hospital stay billed as IN-PATIENT.
Two bars in Minneapolis, Matt’s and the 5-8 Club,
have competing claims to being the creator of the infamous Juicy Lucy
burger (or Jucy Lucy, depending on whom you’re talking to). However CHOW.com’s Supertaster, James Norton, thinks the Blue Door Pub in St. Paul actually serves the Perfect Jucy Lucy—he explains why in this CHOW video.
Whichever version you prefer, these cheese-stuffed burgers ooze cheesy
goodness with every bite—and now you can make your own at home. Be sure
to aim any cheese drips over your French Fries. What to buy: Fat equals flavor and moisture, so buy high-quality chuck with a fat content of 15 to 20 percent.
While American cheese is standard in a Juicy Lucy, other cheeses that
melt well, such as mild cheddar or pepper jack, can be substituted. You
could even try making your own version of American cheese; Mark
McClusky shows you how in this episode of CHOW’s My Go-To Dish video series.
Soft hamburger buns (skip brioche or crusty buns) work best with the simple flavors of these burgers. Game plan: Make sure the burger patties rest after cooking so that the juices redistribute in... read more
Cut each slice of cheese in
half, then in half again to form 4 squares. Stack the pieces on top of
each other to form 4 stacks; set aside.
Place the
meat in a large bowl and add the salt, garlic powder, Worcestershire,
and pepper. Mix with your hands until just evenly combined.
Divide
the meat into 8 equal portions and place on a work surface. Using your
fingertips, press 2 portions of the meat into 2 rough 1/4-inch-thick
patties that are each about 1 inch wider in diameter than the hamburger
buns. Place 1 stack of cheese in the center of 1 of the patties. Top with the second patty and pinch the edges to form a tight seal. Cup each patty with your hands to round out the edges, and press on the top to flatten slightly into a single thick patty.
Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining portions of meat and
cheese to form 4 patties in total. Refrigerate while you prepare the
grill.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium
high (about 375°F to 425°F). When the grill is ready, use tongs to rub
the grate with several layers of paper towels dipped in vegetable oil.
Place the reserved patties on the grill, close the grill, and cook undisturbed (do not
press down on the patties) until dark grill marks appear on the bottom,
about 3 to 4 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the patties, close the
grill again, and cook until grill marks appear on the second side and
the patties are cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove to a
clean plate and let rest in a warm place or tent loosely with foil for 5
minutes. Place a patty on each bun bottom, top with pickles, and cover
with a bun top. Serve immediately.
Juicy Lucy Burgers
A Juicy Lucy is a cheeseburger that has the cheese inside the beef, rather than on top. They looked delicious! So we decided to assemble our version. One with the classic American Cheese filling, and another with Fontina, a delicious Italian cheese that melts so well. Because these burgers are supposed to cook farther (to medium or medium-well) than we prefer our burgers (medium-rare), we added spinach to the beef, to help keep it moist. They were delicious! FoodMayhem Jucy Lucy Burgers ~makes 4 burgers
Ingredients
2 pounds Ground Beef (80% preferred), chilled
3 oz Frozen Spinach, frozen and crumbled
1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
2 tsp. Garlic Powder
4 oz. Cheese (American or Fontina, or whatever you like), cut to roughly 1″ squares.
Kosher Salt
Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
1. Pre-heat grill to high.
2. Thoroughly combine beef, spinach, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. If the meat starts to warm up (from your hands) put it back in the fridge, you need to keep it chilled. Measure out 4 oz balls of beef mixture.
3. Roll into a ball then flatten into a thin patty on top of wax paper, about 1/4″ high and roughly 5″ in diameter. On half of the patties place 1 oz of cheese.
4. On to each cheese-topped patty, flip a second patty to cover the cheese. Pinch the edges together forming a swell in the middle. Re-cover with wax paper and refrigerate at least 10 minutes.
5. Grill chilled patties five minutes on first side, then flip, grill another two minutes. Serve on your favorite bun with sauteed onions.
Perhaps the most famous interview of
Fred. Filmed in Munich as the band were about to release the works
album in 1984. Freddie was interviwed by Rudi Dolezal at Musicland
Studios
By the Way the stupid comments about "Arnold
Schwarzenegger" are old and dated and NOT funny, I'm guessing that to
those who say that they seem to cant differentiate between German
accents. Rudi is a great guy who contributed towards making some of the
best Queen/Freddie videos and Documentaries amongst some of the greatest
artists in the world
Check out his Resume Video of all the artists he works with including Elton John, the Stones, MJ and more

Freddie
Mercury was a British musician, singer, and songwriter, best known as
the lead vocalist and lyricist of the rock band Queen. As a performer,
he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and powerful vocals over a
four-octave range. Wikipedia
