If I had my way, I’d do away with the plain old foil packaging that Continental currently use and repackage this highly versatile ingredient in something that more accurately reflects its iconic status in my pantry. Something like this orange and brown box from the good old house of H.
Last night, my relationship with French Onion got taken to a higher level. I found a new recipe based on my favourite sachet and it’s pretty darn good if I do say so myself. Would you believe me if I said that the humble hamburger is a food that greatly benefits from a dalliance with a soup mix?
That’s right, hamburgers. I’m linking to the original recipe contributed by UNIVSTUDENT to allrecipes.com here.
I adapted the recipe a little and here is how I made my patties:
Best Hamburger Ever
(modified from a recipe by UNIVSTUDENT on allrecipes.com)
Method:
- Combine all the ingredients together and shape into 4 patties.
- Place on a plate lined with baking paper and refrigerate for an hour or two. Remove from the fridge about 1/2 an hour before cooking.
- Fry about 5 minutes on each side or until cooked to desired doneness.
- Serve on a toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, ketchup and American mustard. It has to be American mustard. Though I don’t know why it’s called French’s….

Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment and offer suggestions about Baby SSG’s clothing options on my previous posts. I really value all your insights and personal experiences and I took it all on board today when I took full advantage of the sales at Pumpkin Patch and Mothercare. I reckon Baby SSG is good for at least the first 3 months of his life. His wardrobe has quadrupled between Thursday and today. I have taken tentative steps away from navy, grey and cream and explored baby blue, splashes of primary colours and the odd red stripe.
He is, however, a long way off young Skyler Berman’s enviable walk in wardrobe. I think when your mother is Rachel Zoe, it goes without saying that you will spend your infancy in Missoni.
And have a killer collection of shoes for all occasions. I have been warned about the futility of shoes for newborns and will stick to socks alone. I’m trying to exercise self restraint and going for comfort and function at the moment. After all, I’ve got another 20 weeks or so of shopping to go and the all important baby bag is yet to be chosen.
I hope you’re having a lovely evening to ease yourself into the coming week. Take care and talk to you soon.
