my burger was nice and juicy as advertise. Not overcooked like it looks in the picture here.

The burger pretty much tasted the same as before, it was more of a texture difference than a taste difference.

My only problem was, and I think it came from the buttered bun, but something tasted kinda fishy or like re-used cooking oil from a deep frier. Just a slight hint of it that threw me off.

I see everyone likes to throw their leftover pizza under high heat. I've never tried that but what I do is put it at a lower heat in the toaster oven or regular oven, maybe at around 250 or 300 degrees for about 10 minutes. I have found that when you cook it at too high a tempurature the cheese develops a crust and is soggy (not cheesy) in the middle.

I used to HATE In-N-Out. For years I only ate there when I couldn't convince friends or family to eat elsewhere... until I ate my first double double.

My hate for In N Out quickly disappeared as soon as I ate my first double double. It's funny how an extra beef patty and slice of cheese can transform an incredibly plain burger into something so amazing.

Seriously, all this reading on how to boil an egg? If you want a nice and creamy but firm yolk, put eggs in a small pot, just enough to cover the top. Bring to a boil. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, take the pot off the heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes for a firm/creamy yolk. 4 minutes for a runny yolk. 6minutes for a stiff but not overcooked yolk

uhhh thanks I guess.

My dad's fig tree has been producing the sweetest, plumpest figs for the last 2 months now. I could probably fill up 3 shopping bags full to the top of figs about every 2 weeks or so. I'm surprised they're only coming into season now.

Funny thing you mention that American ex-pat. On one of those Dateline, 20/20 shows, they went out to France to see how Europeans would react to American tourists and ot see if they were really as rude as they are thought to be by Americans. Most of the French embraced the Americans and enjoyed their company, as annoying as they were. It was the French-Americans, or ex-pats, that were the most rude to them.

You couldn't find Aleppo pepper in your local Mediterranean store? I've seen Aleppo pepper in Von's and Ralph's here in LA. Maybe your Mediterranean stores aren't so Mediterranean... and a little FYI, in the middle east we just call it "red pepper"
