Double Cheeseburgers

It has been quite a long time since I've had a cheeseburger.  Like 2 weeks!  Or more!!  Or less, maybe.  I am pretty terrible with dates / calendar-related activities.  But yesterday broke the drought.  We went with some enormous handmade burgers grilled by Chuck.  And to make them even more awesome, there were sauteed onions and tomatoes.  Now, Melissa and Jen may tell you that burgers should not have tomatoes, but they are wrong.  And Communists.  I will not stand idly by while this anti-tomato, pro-Communist aggression is perpetuated!

But back to our burgers, which were excellent.  It's really hard to go back to those frozen, store-bought burgers that come like 40 to a box once you get used to having fresh ground beef.*  These were so good that I ended up eating 2, which was probably somewhere around 9/16 of a pound of beef.**  It was actually so much that I had to eat more meat today to avoid getting symptoms of withdrawal.  I am pretty pumped for Spring to get serious about grilling and make up some ridiculous recipes.
