After getting some things done around the homestead that needed to be done, I'm off on vacation to the lands of my ancestors, and home to my favorite beers. Barkley will be in good hands with a coworker who has dogs and doesn't mind more and a neighbor is tending the Range. Though I'll miss him, I am really looking forward to this, my first time out of the country in years where I didn't have to work (and trust me, I got out of secret squirrel headquarters with a "Gee, sorry, approved vacation, out of country, no computer no phone, BYE! JUST in time)If you are a new reader, have some fun with the old posts. Though I may not be where I can respond to comments, or even post them, I will VERY much enjoy them on my return. For my regulars, I'll have some short posts coming up, that I wrote before I left, and if I can find a hotel computer, I'll send a photo and note or two from the Land of the Celts.
It will be a while before I have Western cooking again, so I'll say adios with a Range Cowboy Burger (made with turkey you know so it's healthy with all the onion rings and cheese :-)
Assuming I can button my pants in time to catch my flight in the morning I'll talk to you all in a while!

Cowboy Turkey Burgers
1 and 1/4 lbs ground turkey
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon Penzey's Chili 9000.
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
dash Penzey's garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons oil
1/4 pound smoked cheddar
8 Alexia onion rings (frozen at the grocers, their rings and seasoned large fries are EXCELLENT)
1/2 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
lettuce
4 buns
Combine turkey, egg, bread crumbs (I used the super fine Japanese ones), and seasonings together in a bowl; mix well. Form mixture into 4 patties. Fry in cast iron skillet on medium while onion rings bake as directed (about 4-5 minutes per side of patty). Assemble and top each burger with a slice or two of cheese and a couple of tablespoons of your favorite barbecue sauce and two onion rings.
Leftover patties freeze well or the meat can be frozen uncooked in a small container.
Be safe, and enjoy your time off!
Have wonderful trip!! If you can spend some time in Country Wicklow..truly God's country!
Jealous!! Have an amazing time Brigid!!
Have a great and safe trip!
If you get the chance, don't miss Johnnie Fox's Pub up in the Wicklow Mountains. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland.

Have fun storming the castle!

I am just "green" with envy. Enjoy yourself and have fun. We shall expect most (not all) the particulars when you get back. Be safe and merry.

Shannon - I'm ready for this, believe me.
It's been a stressful year with work and family and everything else that came and went. The wind in my face will be wonderful.
Enjoy the time. You've earned it!
Stay safe over there.
Enjoy your vacation! You've earned it. Kick back and relax.
The quercetin from the onion rings makes it extra healthy, yeah sure ;-) Looks delish.
Have a GREAT trip!
Good and safe journey Lady!
I will look forward to reading of your adventures on your return. Have a Guinness on me. (or two) -grin-
Enjoy Brigid!!!!
Michael - thank you. Glad you are recovering from your surgery. I hae not forgotten the black powder adventure. Just waiting for some warmer weather.
Trust me folks, there will be several Guinness tipped. In fact, it's best to stock up now, in case there's a sudden U.S. Import shortage.
Don't forget the recipe sidebar. There's a number of Guinness recipes over there. :-)
Off to bed. . EARLY day tomorrow.
Enjoy Dublin! Alas, I have only ever been there on business, and couldn't take the time to look around.
Safe travels! When you run into any of my cousins (the place is full of 'em) just tell 'em their cousin Danny from America said to stand you to a pint, you shouldn't have to open your purse until you get home!
Wish I was there!
Brigid, nuair a théann tú, agus is cuma cad é a dhéanann tú,
Bealtaine an luck na Gaeilge a bheith ann a bhfuil tú.
Godspeed, God Bless, and have a fantastic trip!
You'll have tales to tell on your return.
Late to the show, enjoy and take lots of pictures.
Maybe you can find one of those rare Irish pistol shooters.
Have a safe trip, Brigid. See you when you get back!
Remember to bring Barkley a souvenir.

Yep, Dublin's on my "list of places to go", too (I'm a BIG Guiness fan).
And that burger? A work of art...and lunchtime is still 5 hours away!
Enjoy the trip and we look forward to your return!

I hope you have a great time. Hoist one for us! (Not EACH of us, 'cause that probably wouldn't end well...)
:-)
Travel safe, Mysti and I are hoping to make a trip to the land of her Ancestors (Ireland) and then a quick hop over to Scotland next year....providing the entire USA doesn't tank this year.
You earned it. Enjoy. You will be missed.
See Ya
Enjoy yourself and be safe.
Enjoy the down time Brigid, and sweet dreams!
Dublin's fine but get out into the country! And don't be corrupting them poor simple Irish lads with your evil American ways :P
Be safe and have a great time!
Doc
We are both from there.
We will be there next year, tis meant.
Tip as we will for you lass.
God speed an' grace be apon ya.
I'll have some short posts coming up, that I wrote before I left, and if I can find a hotel computer, I'll send a photo and note or two from the Land of the Celts.
You don't have to do that for us Brigid, it's your off time.
I anxiously await your pictures of Ireland. I would love to visit someday. (though I'm only part Irish)
