Swirling About…..

Goodness, what a lapse in posting. Events rather jammed together from last Thursday on and I hadn’t realized my long gap. Let me very quickly explain.

Homestead Main Street held the Third Annual Burger Battle (slight name change from previous years) on Saturday and Mother Nature was not as generous as she could have been. The fairly light and sporadic rain was manageable and the crowd was good considering how many did stay away because of weather. The main part of the event had at least passed before we got word of major rain on the way. Most folks were able to shut down and retreat, but not all by any means. Chefs on the Run remains the undefeated burger champion, but I have to say the two burgers I tried – one from Broadway Subs and one from El Toro Taco – were excellent. I normally help out in the museum during the festivals so all I could do was pop out for a few minutes and didn’t have time to try the other competitors. To be honest, I wouldn’t have tried the one that hubby was so excited about. The Big Cheese took a different approach and went with the “donut cheeseburger” that has been the trend in several places. Yes, it is a donut sliced in half as the bun. The idea is the sweet and savory mix entices your taste buds. Hubby thoroughly enjoyed it and I think I can handle the concept. The incredible stickiness of the donut with all the meat, cheese, bacon and other packed in is what I’m not sure I can deal with by hand. A knife and fork in this case, maybe.

Anyway, that took up Saturday and I’ve been crashing on the manuscript as well as juggling meetings and other commitments. I’ll make it a point to do better.
