Hi Dave,

 DD> I suppose you could - same as dealing with ground beef. But the store
 DD> bought patties have some sort of binder to hold them together. I buy
 DD> mine at either Humphrey's or Hy-Vee. The Humphrey's are "plain" but
 DD> the ones from Hy-Vee come as bacon-Cheddar, beer brats, fresh
 DD> Pineapple, jalapeno-Cheddar, or made of all pork (as opposed to
 DD> regular mixed meat brats).

 RH> I'll have to look and see if they're available around here. The
 RH> bacon-cheddar combo sounds yummy.

 DD> It saves frying bacon to make up a bacon-brat cheeseburger.  Bv)=

Depending on what I'm using the bacon for, I'll cook it either in the
microwave or frying pan or bake it in the oven. The latter is good for
large quantities, the first for spatter free cooking as the bacon gets
layered between paper towels.

 DD> They are a welcome change from beef burgars. And they also go well
 DD> as a breakfast meat with eggs and potatoes.  Bv)=

I would think so. (G)

 DD> This one was just taken off the "round tuit" list and promoted from
 DD> "Archives" to "Kitchen" status in my MM database. And put on "repeat".

 DD>       Title: Shrimp Pasta
 DD>  Categories: Seafood, Vegetqables, Pasta, Herbs
 DD>       Yield: 5 Servings

 RH> Looks like a version of scampi to me, tho I usually don't put
 RH> tomatoes in mine.

 DD> The spicing is similar but the 'maters remove if from scampi range.

Just a slight twist, might find them in some scampi style recipies.


 DD> This one will be made in the near future - note that it hasn't  got
 DD> any tomatoes. But I'm waiting until the asparagus pokes its heads up
 DD> with
 DD> the warmer weather.


 DD>       Title: Pesto Shrimp Pasta
 DD>  Categories: Pasta, Herbs, Citrus, Seafood, Vegetables
 DD>       Yield: 4 servings

 DD>       8 oz Uncooked spaghetti
 DD>       3 tb Olive oil; divided
 DD>       1 c  (loose pack) fresh basil
 DD>            - leaves
 DD>     1/4 c  Lemon juice
 DD>       2 cl Garlic; peeled
 DD>     1/2 ts Salt
 DD>       1 lb Fresh asparagus; trimmed, in
 DD>            - 2" pieces
 DD>     3/4 lb Uncooked (U-40) shrimp;
 DD>            - peeled, deveined
 DD>     1/8 ts Crushed red pepper flakes

Looks interesting. I'd probably do a half recipe for just Steve and me.
