We arrived in the Catskill Mountains on Saturday to the most beautiful blue skies and 75 degree temperature. The weekend was spectacular, and I woke up this morning to rain and 55 degrees, and that does not upset me at all. I got a fire going and turned on Wimbledon, and I think this might be the greatest vacation ever. We are up here for four weeks which is pretty awesome for so many reasons. We get to be with friends that we only see in the summer, we get to avoid Charleston heat in July, and we get a change of scenery from the beach to the mountains. We are in Twilight Park which is a tiny little summer community in Haines Falls, NY. This place is a special little piece of heaven that I love so much. Here is the view that we look at every day over the Hudson River Valley.
My day consists generally of getting Walker ready and off to camp for the day and then deciding which hike I am going to do, followed by swimming at the pool, maybe a nap, lots of reading, and fixing dinner which is usually cooked on the grill. It is kind of like I am at summer camp too. I love making burgers up here, and I change up my burger concoction pretty frequently, but here is one of my favorites.
Pepper Jack Burgers:
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Combine everthing in a mixing bowl and mix everything together (I use my hands) and then form patties. Pretty straigh foreward, but I think adding the pepper jack cheese into the meat mixture adds great flavor and I love have cheese in the burger as well as on top. Grill to your liking and enjoy!
