So this was the kitchen situation when we arrived at Frances' place at 7:40pm
She was all harassed and panicky and was just about to throw her truffled mac n cheese
into the oven. She had 22 fat and hungry guests to feed. I was worried for my stomach.
It was empty and impatient.
But then I saw these behemothic freshly ground sirloin beef and lamb patties...
And a tub of fatty goose livers
And good cheese.
Suddenly, my stomach was endowed with the virtue of infinite patience.
Some of the cousins offered to help
Some just sat around and waited
And these two… they just went ahead and ate!
All burgers were grilled medium rare to medium. Those who wanted well-done patties
were asked to go to Burger Machine.
Stack-Your-Own-Burger Time!
Lettuce, tomatoes, alfalfa, arugula, caramelized onions, assorted mushrooms, garlic aioli
Bacon fried in its own fat
Pan seared foie gras
For the sides, we had oven baked fries and black truffle mac n cheese
Corn on the cob
Dad and corn on the cob
My Stack
Foie gras, caramelized onion, bacon, tomato, arugula,
medium rare beef patty, burger bun

I took 1,000,000 photos of my burger because it was so beautiful!
Showing off our burger innards
OHMAYGAD!!! THIS MONSTER DESTROYED ME FOREVER!!!
I promise all you burger-loving people in the world, this is even better than ______'s and _____'s!!!
Florence was on a diet and had her burger without the bun. DOH!
Strawberry milkshake brought all fatties to the yard
Red wine in paper cups to match the paper plates!
Pinks
Frances also made these frozen vanilla desserts with peanut butter,
banana, nutella, rice crispies and Reese's peanut butter cups
She stuck a fork into it, peeled the paper cup and voila!!! A POPSICLE!!!
Nikko made this super delicious old fashioned pecan pie
We also had cherries
And Nathaniel's buko pandan which my auntie thought was mayonnaise and almost
scooped on top of her burger
I love Sunday dinners with the whole family! ♥
