Dinner Day 8: Juicy Lucy burgers (cheese filled)Pastures A Plenty Beef, homemade buns Dry Weather Creak Flour), salad (Chick-N-Coupe Ranch & Louise Schwiess Anderson), broccoli (Either Chick-N-Coupe Ranch or LaVonne Lothert), radishes (LaVonne Lothert) & strawberries (Hilltop Harvest).

I attempted to make hamburger buns, although they look like hockey pucks they tasted pretty good & they did the job. My only complaint is that they got to be kind of thick! I found a great looking strawberry rhubarb muffin recipe in The Minnesota Homegrown Cookbook my boss, Chris loaned to me. I am looking forward to making them tomorrow.
