Burgers and All-American Potato Salad

Monday 30 May

It's Memorial Day, and we have honored those who fought for our country by doing something very American - we drove out to the stripmall and bought a big-ass TV.

Oh, and we had burgers for dinner, cooked in a frying pan indoors - we won't grill outside, it's ninety degrees, are you crazy? - with caramelized onions. This is the only way you can get a medium-rare burger these days.

Holt made the potato salad this morning, so he could toss the warm potatoes with oil and vinegar and let them absorb for a while. Then he added all the American stuff - mayo, chopped Vidalia onion, chopped celery - plus a whack each of Dijon and whole-grain mustard. Does this mean we're French? If so, we surrender.
