I personally like my burger traditional style. A good 'ol toasted sesame seed bun with a burger grilled to perfection with a slice of deli cheddar or American. The toppings will depend on how hungry I am, but I'll usually eat the first cheesburg plain.

Also, fuck people who eat their burgers done anything below medium-well. They act like a burger is a goddamned steak.

/ck/ is the only board that has any taste. I need some smaller supplementary gifts for my girlfriend's christmas. She's an English teacher and desu she spends all of her time at home in her reading chair by the fireplace in the winter, and on her porch in the summer. She hardly uses most of her house, or any of the space I could get her something to fill. It just seems trivial to get her anything and it makes things very difficult for me. I'm building her a book shelf because she needs one since moving earlier this year, and I've gotten her a couple of books and a more practical gift(an appliance she needs).

I want one or two cute/fun/interesting/whatever things just to make it more exciting than "hey i got you stuff you need and I made you this thing except you need that too".

So.../ck/-approved christmas gifts? of any sort? please? I'm trying to avoid super cheesy stuff like a mug, but I just feel like books, a book shelf, and an appliance aren't enough.

What are you getting your partner, /ck/?

I need help, /ck/

My grandfather's steaks are the best I've ever had. He cut his own wood, and he always called it hickory, but I've never found hickory that tasted anything like it. His wood gave the meat a slightly bitter taste, but it was just soooooo good.

Any advice at all for figuring out how to replicate what he did? Is it possible that his fire pit made a difference as well, or can I be sure that if I replicate his wood I will replicate his flavor?
