BAM BURGERS

Ineresting Fact:

Men embraced burgers because buns reminded them of the maternal bosom.
Americans glommed on to hamburgers because, during our nation's formative years,
we were largely a bachelor workforce, lacking female companions and cooks.
Women have historically braised meat, they tend to cook roasts slowly in simmering liquid.
Men typically cook meats with dry heat, by broiling and grilling and griddling.

Bamburgers

Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1 pound ground sirloin beef
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 slices Havarti cheese (about 2 ounces each)
4 onion or Kaiser rolls, split in half
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Your favorite burger condiments, such as mayonnaise, mustard, sliced red onions, and ketchup
Directions:
Preheat the Lodge Logic Grill Pan over medium-high heat.

Combine the beef, horseradish, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl and mix gently but thoroughly. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, form into balls, and flatten slightly to form 3/4-inch-thick patties.

Grill the burgers on the grill pan for 2 minutes. Flip the patties over and place 1 slice of cheese on each patty. Cook for 2 minutes more for medium-rare burgers, or longer if you wish. Transfer to a platter.

Spread the cut sides of each roll with the butter. Toast them on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds. Put the burgers on the buns and serve immediately, with the condiments.
Note:
Havarti cheese is a smooth, buttery, semi-soft cheese.

The Hunger Games Cover

The cover of The Hunger Games is black, featuring a gold mockingjay —a crossbreed born from genetically engineered male jabberjays, and female mockingbirds— with an arrow inscribed in a circle. This is an image of the pin given to Katniss by the District 12 mayor's daughter, Madge Undersee, which Katniss wears in the arena. The image matches the description of the pin that is given in the book, except for the arrow: "It's as if someone fashioned a small golden bird and then attached a ring around it. The bird is connected to the ring only by its wing tips  The Hunger Games WIKI Site
