ANNIE'S TOURNAMENT (SATURDAY)

You all know I barely speak the language of sports, so I'm probably not the best person to write about yesterday's activities. Annie's softball team, the Bullets, played and won their three tournament games. The games are limited to an hour and 15 minutes, and her team played at 9:00, 12:00, and 1:30. This family drives 45 minutes to reach the ballfield, and we went in two cars to accommodate scheduling needs. As it was, we left Annie with Cindy during the last game so that we could watch Jack's basketball team play at 3:00. That game tied 14 to 14. We were home about 4:15. Kelly and Mike exercised their respective dog(s) while Yancey and I worked on dinner (Warnock burgers, baked beans, and broccoli salad). Then we adjourned to the family room to watch Boston and Denver in the third game of the World Series -- a difficult game for Denverites. Today Annie's team plays at 10:30, so we're starting the day at a more liesurely pace. However, the times of other games will be contingent upon whether or not they win, and tonight we are going to "family night" at a sports bar to hear Taylor Swift sing. We aren't sure how dinner will fit into this schedule.

It has been quite warm, but yesterday morning was cool. We dressed warmly. If you watched the series on tv you know that it was cold last night, dipping into the 30s before the game was over. KW

Okay, those of us who are not Warnocks (this person at least), wonder what "Warnock burgers" are. Please divulge. Sounds like you are having lots of fun.

Hallie, thanks for setting this blog up for your parents--this honorary member of your family loves it!

Chris :-)

Warnock burgers are made with "Bennie's Barbecue Sauce." It's a simple mix of catsup, a little mustard, Worcestershire Sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, vegetable oil, etc. The burgers are then grilled, preferably over charcoal. And there you have it -- Warnock burgers. Perhaps your family has "Miller Burgers" with some favorite sauce. We are glad you enjoy the site. KW

A "Hallie Warnock burger" consists of a Warnock burger patty with cheese, baked beans (for flavor and texture), and potato chips (for crunch). It's pretty much everything you could want in every single bite.

->Patent pending.

To each his own. I prefer my beans and chips on the side. XO

Hallie said...

Yeah...the beans can get oozy and make it difficult to eat. A sacrifice I'm willing to make. The key is to put the beans below the patty and the chips above the patty (on top of the cheese)so as to preserve the crunch.
