    I've decided to join the drinkers, as I've been hitting the celebratory cocktails pretty hard lately. Laid off for many years, as I am an all or nothing kinda gal. Have recently decided to be an all girl. Screw it. Went to a benefit last weekend. Bid on an item and won. I thought it was a tattoo, but it's a piercing. Shoulda read the items before I starting drinking. Looking forward to having many cocktails with you all. I'm jumping in here, 'cause I'm just too lazy to read up on all the posts.

    welcome stjude

    Two neighbours were having a chat when one said, 'I took my dog to the vet today because it bit my mother-in-law.'
    The other asked, 'Did you put it to sleep?'
    'No, of course not,' said the first, 'I had its teeth sharpened

    Good afternoon, Loungettes! I've been working away at mowing the yard with the electric push mower since the riding mower doesn't want to start. Got the battery recharging, that should help it be ready to go on Thursday, I hope! Beautiful day out there, but I is getting TIRED and seriously in need of a pool with a swim up bar!

    Wahine--letting your DH leave is a good sign! Don't be late for your appointments!

    Welcome, Orange73! What's your favorite libation?


    Welcome, StJude10! Playing ketchup is a losing game here in the lounge, but that's ok 'cause we tend to talk about things more than once. You'll be glad to know there are never any hangovers here!


    Not real busy in the Lounge this pm. Guess I get to have Jock all to myself for a while! Yeah!

    Orange, I really like my tequila too. Jagerbombs are fine too. I like most wines and when I don't have a lot of money, it's beer...michelob ultra. And now I'm thirsty!

    Thanks for the welcome, and Native, no hangover sounds real good!

    Bernie, hell ya on the joke. Love it!

    Greek Lamb and Olive Burgers with Garlic


    The incredible texture of this juicy, flavorful burger comes from a mix of lamb, chopped kalamata olives and feta cheese. The garlic "sauce"-a simple combination of yogurt and minced garlic-makes it look as if you've spent some time in the kitchen, when you're really in and out in a flash. You can double or triple this recipe easily when serving a crowd at a barbeque.
    Share this on Pinterest Print

    Ingredients

    1PoundGround Lamb
    1/3CupKalamata Olives (Chopped)
    3TablespoonDried Bread Crumbs, preferably panko
    2TablespoonOnion (Finely Chopped)
    1TablespoonScallions (Chopped)
    ¼TeaspoonKosher Salt,
    1/8TeaspoonFresh Oregano (Chopped)
    2TablespoonFeta Cheese (Crumbled)
    ¼CupPlain Yogurt
    2 Garlic Cloves (Minced)
    4 Onion Hamburger Rolls (Split and toasted)
    4 Lettuce Leaves (Washed and dried)
    4 Tomato Slices
    4 Cucumber Slices (optional)
    4 Slices Red Onion (optional)

    Instructions

    If you'd like the sauce to be thick, strain the yogurt through cheesecloth for 30 minutes and discard the liquid before adding the garlic, or use a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl or a cup.

    With your hands or a wooden spoon, mix the lamb, olives, bread crumbs, onion, scallions, salt, pepper, oregano and feta until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Shape the meat mixture into four 1/2 inch thick patties.

    Preheat a grill or grill pan. Grill the meat patties over medium-hot coals or pan-grill over medium-high heat for 5 minutes per side. The burgers should no longer be pink in the center.

    While the burgers cook, stir together the yogurt and garlic.

    Place each burger on the bottom of a roll, spoon on a little garlic sauce, and top with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and onion, if desired. Cover with the top half of the roll and serve.
