Burger night!

Woke up yesterday and asked my family if they wanted burgers or pasta? 

My brother wanted burgers so burgers it was! Looked up at Heston Blumenthal's perfect burger recipe and I was like oh man that's a lot of work plus I don't have a meat grinder at home. I'm thinking if I should get the grinder attachment for my kitchen aid. Hmm.. 

So yeah, I went grocery shopping to get ingredients for the pork burgers that I was about to make. 

Went to Long farm to get my minced pork and got 2kg of mince pork. Why did I get so much? Because mom asked to get more. I'm always cooking too much, it feels like I'm cooking for a whole village all the time. 

I made apple pork patties. I figured hey why not? I actually took the recipe from  lamb meat ball recipe and then just tweak it because that's what I do best. *flips hair* I kid, but that's reall what I usually do. 

Nush gave me this recipe book a while ago as a gift and I freaking love this book because it's funny. 

I also made apple compote as a spread to go with the Pork Burgers, I'm like why not?! Since people use caramelised onions/onion jam as a spread for beef burgers so why not I use Apple compote. Hun asked me why I like complicating my food and I just told him that I want to be out of my comfort zone where I do something different. I'm glad I followed my gut? Because it sure balanced the flavours of the burger :)

Voila! I wanted to make Heston Blumenthal's Perfect Chips but the time to make those were a little bit too long. Plus, my thermometer went missing and I'm still sad about it because it's not cheap! :( 

I'm thinking about making an apple pie this weekend. Hmm.
