This past Saturday we had SirHoney's cousin and her husband over for dinner before they had to return home to Chicago on Sunday. I was totally exhausted after coming home from our Christmas trip with a cold and from overindulging in food and beverages for two days while celebrating New Years. (I probably overdid it since I knew it would be my last splurge for a while.)
Saturday was January 2nd, which was the official day for me to start the Ten in 10 challenge, but I decided to go ahead and let SirHoney make hamburgers since I wasn't really up to hosting a big dinner party. We always buy lean ground beef so I figured that I would just have a burger with lettuce and tomato without the bun, and stay away from the chips and dip.
We had a nice visit and as we were all finishing up our burgers, SirHoney asks if the burgers were okay. We all told him that they were great! They were a little large and we realized that they were 1/2 pound burgers once we noticed that he only made eight patties out of four pounds of beef.
So, he asks again if we hadn't noticed anything different and we all said no and asked why. I thought maybe he used some new seasoning or something, then he finally admitted that he put a dollop of butter inside each hamburger patty as he was making them.
Are you kidding me?
A half pound hamburger patty filled with butter!
And I ate it on my first day of my challenge to lose ten pounds?
Really?
(I don't know if he's secretly been watching Paula Deen, or what, but I do know that he won't be making me dinner again any time soon.)

lol I think the worst part is that you couldn’t taste the difference! At least if the flavor was amazingly better you could try to justify it, once. good luck with your challenge!
