Boy Meets Burger

Friday night we decided to make hamburgers for dinner (I had a turkey burger). We had set out quite early from the house for the waterfront park as I had a photo shoot. Ian did not have his dinner with him to take to dance. Dance started at 4 and he wouldn't be home until 7:45. He would have been starving. We asked if he could miss the ballroom dance class (it's an adult swing class and he only learns technique; there will be no dance for the recital). After his teacher gave her blessing, we had to stop by Fred Meyer to get some ground beef as Daryn has already assembled burgers for the other kids and himself and had no meat remaining. Ian came home and assembled a 1 pound juicy lucy burger for himself. (A juicy lucy is a burger with cheese in the middle.)

Here is the boy.

Here is the burger.

Here is the boy greeting his gigundo (that's a real word in our house!) burger, complete with tomato and lettuce and condiments.

Hellllooooo Burger! It was HUGE!

Boy did not open mouth wide enough for this bite. Need to try that again!

He was almost able to open wide enough. If he were part snake he could have unhinged his jaw to accomplish the feat.

In the end, Boy Demolished Burger ... his feat was complete. I think we are going to go broke feeding this boy! My measly little turkey burger was less than 1/4 inch thick ... so VERY thin. I had a piece of avocado on it, plus some tomato and lettuce, and that was nearly too much for me. I don't know where he put this. He has two hollow legs and is reed thin. Oh, to have his genes!
