Labor day

Yesterday was International Labor Day.  While the rest of Asia seemed to holding protests for one cause or another, we celebrated the holiday American style: burgers.  

Diet Coke and burgers go so well together

I've never had to shop for hamburger buns here, so I thought I'd avoid looking to buy them by making my own buns.  Ditto for the dill pickles. 

These guys are going to be a regular in my refrigerator from now on.

I had forgotten how great a good burger can feel.
