Dinner

Tonight I felt like making dinner again. And I wanted to use the bok choy from last night. So when I went to the store today, I was already influenced. But as I walked by the butcher, I saw some really good looking ground bison and decided on burgers. So I bought some bison and ground sirloin. Then I tried to decide what I was going to use as flavoring agents. Walked by some shoyu and decided to use some Asian influences. Got the shoyu, and then bought some cilantro and ginger and black salt. I found some really good artisanal bread and cheese, and some cool looking brown tomatoes. Loaded it all up and took it home.
I knew my two girls were going to try it, so I had to make appropriate size patties and buns. So my 22 month olds burger was the size of a slider and it looked cute. My older daughter's was about the size of a Krystal burger. Oh yeah, for fries, I had some baby purple Peruvian potatoes that I quartered and tossed with olive oil, sea salt, and herbs de Provence. Roasted them in the oven. Cooked the burgers in my cast iron skillet to get a nice crust on them. I also made a jalapeno and tomato ranch sauce to go on the burgers and for the fries.
Plated up everyone's food and we all ate. My older daughter ate it without much fuss, but didn't like the fries (I think it's because they were purple). My younger daughter decided to deconstruct it and eat it all separately. And she didn't like them either, I don't know.
It all turned out better than I thought it would, and I got to use my bok choy.
