Flashburger . . .
Jan and I both stayed up watching the election results until 2am this morning (pretty normal for me, very unusual for Jan) so we both slept in a little later than usual.
The weather has finally cooled, hopefully to stay, at least for this winter. Today’s high was only 72 degrees with a heavy overcast and spritzing rain, and with 54 degrees scheduled for tonight. Very Nice.
One of the first things I did this afternoon was to dig out the spare Thermal Over-Heat fuse for my Splendide washer/dryer. I ordered two fuses back in 2013 so I would have a spare one.in case it happened again. And luckily it was right where I thought it was.
I just hope it’s that easy.
Jan and I headed out about 2pm to have lunch and do some shopping. Our lunch stop was Flashburger, a place we’ve heard about, but not yet visited. But based on what we’ve heard, we were looking forward to it.
And we were not disappointed. We now have a new favorite burger place in Kenedy, edging out RJ’s, our previous #1. And Flashburger ranks right up there in our top 5 or so burgers ever.
Jan got their Regular Burger with Cheddar Cheese, Sautéed Mushrooms, Grilled Onions, Tomatoes, Mustard and Ketchup.
I went with the El Jefe, one of their Magnificent 7pre-configured burgers. It comes with Two Patties, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, A Fried Egg, Lettuce, and their Flash sauce, kind of a spicy Thousand Island.
I added Tomatoes, Onions, and Mayo. And it looked like this.
We also shared an order of their Bacon Pesto Parmesan Fries.
The burgers were perfect, with hand-formed patties, grilled until the edges are slightly crunchy. The buns are buttered and also grilled until the insides are toasty, and crispy. Not only is this delicious but it means that even though it’s a large burger, it holds together as you eat it, and doesn’t fall apart along the way.
The only thing Jan missed from RJ’s Burgers was the Fried Onion Rings that she usually gets. But she said the Fries and Burgers were delicious enough to bring Flashburger out on top.
We’ll definitely go back.
Our next stop was at the Hardware Store/Lumberyard right down the road. I wanted to get a 2’ x 2’ piece of 1/4” plywood to stack on top of the dolly platform that I used to pull out the washer and move it into the kitchen.
It needs to be slightly taller to make it a little easier to push the washer back in the cabinet. But the 2’ x 2’ piece needs to be cut down some more, and this place doesn’t do customer cuts, So I had been looking at jigsaws on Amazon, but thought I’d take a look at them while I was here.
And I found this Black & Decker Jigsaw for $2 cheaper than on Amazon so it came home with me too.
Now all I need is to get a picnic table on our site so I can work there.
Our final stop was the local Dollar General. Not very tidy with a lot of stuff thrown on the floor and around on the shelves.
Hopefully we’ll hear from Todd tomorrow about a gate.
