WCB #267 - Remembering Sher

Before I start my post of Weekend Cat Blogging
I want to wish my dad a Very Happy Birthday!
~~~~~
Weekend Cat Blogging #267 has a Special Food Edition this weekend 
I looked through quite a few of Sher's recipes, trying to decide which one to try today. After a while I found the perfect recipe to try. My husband bought some hamburger from our local farmer's market yesterday and planned on grilling burgers for dinner. May 14, 2007 Sher had a post about Bacon Cheeseburgers with Thousand Island Dressing. She said that it is definitely worth it to make your own Thousand Island Dressing and since I never had, I made it to go on our burgers. I made it this morning so it would be ready for the burgers at dinnertime. It really does taste great and only took about 10 minutes to make. I can't wait to try it on my burger!


Thousand Island Dressing
adapted from Sher's recipe here
~~~~~
1/2 cup mayonnaise (I used Hellmann's Light)
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
4 drops Tabasco Sauce (I used Chipotle Tabasco Sauce)
4 drops Worcestershire Sauce
3 Tablespoons Ketchup
1 Tablespoon parsley, chopped
1 Tablespoon Cognac or Brandy
~~~~~
Mix all the ingredients together and spread the dressing on the hamburger buns.

Willow thinks that she might like to try some...

And here are China Cat and Willow enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon out in the screened-in porch.
