Turkey Burger
I know that you know that I've been trying to eat better lately, but that doesn't mean you can't make a healthy-ish burger once in awhile. And this is absolutely the tastiest turkey burger I've ever had. I swear to God it tastes like a real burger.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 3/4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 4 sliced dill pickles
- 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, toasted (or Martin's Potato Rolls)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the first 7 ingredients. Then form the individual patties.
Broil for 5–6 minutes on each side or until done.
Place the burger on the bottom half of bun. Top with dill pickles and add no-sugar ketchup if you wish. Cover with the top half of bun.
This recipe was slightly adapted from Health.com.
“You know those kids who sell snacks that you don’t buy for a $1 on the subway for their sports team? Why not buy one for that $1, keep it in your bag, then give it to the next homeless person who comes around on the subway asking for something to eat?”
Springfield Isotopes Hoodie
If there are any hardcore Simpsons fans in your life (other than me), I think I've just found them the perfect gift. (I looked for a baseball hat - is it hat or cap? - with the Isotopes logo and that one was surprisingly hard to find. Will keep looking.)
The hoodie's available for under $20, too!
The Charming Richard Lewis
Have I ever mentioned how much I love Richard Lewis? Not just 'cause of Curb Your Enthusiasm - I've loved him since Once Upon A Crime.
There's just something about him I've always liked. He was at Barnes & Noble recently promoting his new book and I was fortunate enough to meet this babe of a man.
Not only was it such a treat to meet him, but I will literally treasure this inscription he wrote way more than is socially acceptable.

Smell Based Alarm Clock
Paris-based entrepreneur Guillaume Rolland has invented the “SensorWake,” the world’s first scented alarm clock that will wake you up using smell instead of sound.
You can choose from a wide assortment of scents, like coffee, croissants, the ocean, or even the smell of money. Even Google recognizes its potential, awarding it as one of the top 15 inventions “that can change the world” at the 2014 Google Science Fair." You can fund it on Kickstarter, if you so please.
Amazing.

When She Loved Me
I think I have a gift for searching (and finding) the saddest songs on the planet. The next time you're in a real deep, dark mood - send me a text and I'll let you know exactly what you should listen to on repeat.
(Even out of context, this song is so sad - but IN CONTEXT? In that scene in Toy Story 2? Get out of here, that's like the-first-fifteen-minutes-of-Up kind of sad.)
Dog Dresses Up
Can't tell you how long I laughed at this.
