     When I edit a quoted post, I have to navigate 12 acres of photos.
 
     I could've sworn I took some pics after I flipped the patties to show the brown and then melty cheese. I guess not. Or maybe photo dumpster lost them. Oh well.
 
This is pretty, though.

So I'm not honestly sure if I'll be able to participate this month. I'm having heart trouble and I probably should have went to the ER today. symptoms are under control. My blood pressures dropping below 100 over 50 and my heart rates fluctuating between 60 and 115 bpms while resting and I fell today from it. Seriously not trying to back out, but I'm not sure if I can handle going to the store and spending time in the kitchen. Next month you'll all be going down. I'm seriously disappointed I can't pull out the fryer. If i'm doing better in the morning I'll see about it. But I was fighting my parents to not go to the hospital. I've been out of work for a week because of it. I see the cardiologist on the 15th and already spent a night in the hospital this week.
