I never enjoy Sunday as much as I enjoy Saturday because I couldn't stop reminding myself that I will go back to work the next day. However, I do enjoy cooking on Sunday. I like to make some dishes that require more time or attention. Because of Sunday, I have luxury to start my cooking early and try to get it ready around 1630.

我喜欢懒散的星期天。不过脑海中总也忘不掉星期一要上班的念头。所以我喜欢星期六多一点。但是我真的好喜欢做星期天的晚餐。因为是星期天，时间充裕，我可以选一些需要多些时间，多些精力的餐，慢慢做，早些开饭，剩余的时间让它慢慢的从我们身边走过。。。。

Homemade Gourmet Cheeseburger, Homemade French fries and Spinach salad with walnut dressing.
家做的汉堡包，自做炸薯条，菠菜沙拉和核桃沙拉酱




The order is make French fry first. 制作的程序是先做炸薯条
French fries: 炸薯条
4 large Yukon potatoes, cut into strips. Soak them in ice water for 5 minutes. Dry totally by using a kitchen towl. Heat oil in a heavy dutch oven. Fry the first time to cook thru. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes. Increase oil temperature. Fry the second time to make crispy. Season with salt immediately.
土豆去皮切条。泡在冰水中，５分钟后捞出，用厨房毛巾擦干。铸铁锅加油加热（中高热），一共炸两次，第一次炸熟，量凉，然后加高油温，再炸第二次，炸脆。立刻撒少许盐



Finish product of French fry: Homemade fries are 10 time better than outside because they are made of fresh potatoes, not from frozen re-fried.
这是炸好的薯条，自己做的薯条比餐厅的好吃１０倍。




Homemade Gourmet Cheeseburger: 汉堡包
1 and 1/2 lb grass fed ground beef (1.5磅走地牛肉馅)
2 eggs (２只蛋)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh grounded pepper (0.5 勺胡椒粉)
2 tsp soy sauce (2勺中国酱油)
Slice of cheddar or Mozarella cheese
slices of onion (洋葱)
slices of tomatoes (西红柿)

Make patties based on the size of your buns. Grill it on the hot griddle. Grill time is depended upon the way you want. Top a slice of cheese on each patty at the end. Grill the onion on the griddle for 1 minute.
按照你的面包大小做几个肉饼，中间做成凹进去一点。（这样做出的肉饼煎好后会平平的。不做也可以，味道一样。）肉饼放在加热的煎盘煎到自己喜欢的熟度。最后快好的时候放上 cheese. 我喜欢洋葱煎一下，60 秒钟就好了。


Here is the Gourmet Cheeseburger with grilled onions and tomato.
看看，这是我的盘中 cheese 汉堡加煎洋葱和西红柿，真的好好吃。


Spinach salad with walnut dressing. 菠菜沙拉和核桃沙拉酱
Spinach, watermelon radish (from our garden) and onion to make perfect winter salad
新鲜菠菜，心里美萝卜（自己家种的），洋葱是冬天沙拉的最好的组合。
Dressing: Olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar and 1 teaspoon of homemade mustard. Mix in with toasted walnuts. Simple and delicious.
沙拉酱：Olive 油，醋，盐，胡椒粉，糖，１勺自己做的芥末酱,最后加入烤好的核桃。营养又美味。

Oh, I forgot the important of this meal.........Homemade pickles.
哦，我差点忘了，这一餐中最重要的。。。。自己做的酸黄瓜。


Now the dinner is complete! 晚餐现在终于上全。



Of course you don't want to have this everyday. In a while, however, it is hundred, thousand, even ten thousand of calories, is worthy it! I strongly recommend. Good eating is part of enjoying life!

当然了，我们不能天天吃 cheeseburger, 炸薯条. 但是偶尔一两次，即便是含有上百，上千，甚至上万卡珞里，也是直得的。我强烈推荐。享受美食是享受生活的一部分.....
