Please Allow Me To Introduce You...

To My Dear Friend: Anthony

Anthony and I met in ninth grade. You know... that awful year where you're overcome with raging hormones and acne. My memory skills aren't that fabulous so I won't pretend as though I remember everything, but Anthony has a MUCH better memory than me (one of the many reason I keep him around) Sincerely though, I adore this guy. I've known him since he was riding around on his skateboard listening to Lagwagon and Blink 182 while attempting to charm the ladies with his knowledge of computers and video games. He's been making me laugh for 11 years (that makes me feel old). But aside, I saw him on Saturday and these are a few Anthony-isms for you:

Anthony: Ms. MacCord, the first time I met you, you walked up to me and went "Did you fart?". As if 9th grade wasn't hard enough.

Anthony: Your 16th birthday, I remember, I showed up in a suit and you whistled at me across the room. You whistled at me! It was the highlight of my life. Up until that point I thought I had no game, but then I was like "Oh, well if Kelly whistled at me, then I MUST be awesome". If it weren't for you my self-esteem may have shattered right then and there.

Anthony: I'm in love with Megan Fox. I would do unforgivable things to her. UNFORGIVABLE things, Kelly!
Me: What does that mean?
Anthony: Unforgivable!

Aside, the reason I bring this up is because my friend Anthony, aka Pizon, is a PICKY eater. When I say this, you have NO idea... its like feeding a 3 year old. There can be no condiments, no spices, no nothing! I tell myself this is preparation in case I end up with a child who is a picky eater. So I devised this recipe in honor of him and I call it; the Anthony. (The goal of this recipe is to hide the condiments IN the burger)

The Anthony (Burger Sandwich with Butter Noodles) Serves 5

Burger Sandwich:
1 1/2 Pounds Hamburger Meat (I prefer 80/20 for burgers)
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce (or To Taste)
2 Teaspoons Garlic Salt (or To Taste)
1 Egg
1 Tablespoon of Plain Breadcrumbs
1 Tablespoon Ketchup (or To Taste)
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
5 Kaiser Rolls
1 Thinly Sliced Tomato
Lettuce

Butter Noodles:
1 Box of Farfalle Noodles
2 Tablespoons Butter
Salt and Pepper (To Taste)
Dash of Olive Oil

1.) Bring a medium size pot of water to a boil at Medium High heat, add salt and a dash of olive oil.
2.) Combine the Hamburger Meat, Worcestershire Sauce, Garlic Salt, Ketchup, Mayonnaise, Egg and Breadcrumbs. Once well combined; break up and roll into individual burgers.
3.) Add the noodles to the boiling pot of water.
4.) Cook the burgers to the desired inside temperature (I use a George Foreman grill, but a non-stick, non-greased skillet will work as well)
5.) Once the noodles are done, combine with butter, salt and pepper
6.) Place the burgers on the buns and top with lettuce and tomato

Now here is the tricky part, serve it to him and hope he doesn't notice that there's flavor in it. Heart points to you, Link, if you complete your quest. (I had to make a Zelda reference- that was for Pizon :-)
