Hand pressed Burgers

Hand pressed BLT burger  with CheeseThis is Sue's take on a BLT Burger. There are many many myths about the contents of a Beef Burger. But the hint is in the name. They really don't need Potato starch, breadcrumbs, Mono and Diglycerides of fatty acids ( I mean really?) or any of the other obscure additives you'll find in the ingredients of some low cost burger. All you actually need is Beef mince and a little Salt and Pepper. You don't need any fancy gadgets or burger presses, just your hands. 
 
So the BLT with  Cheese
 
Ingredients:-
 
Beef mince
Salt and Pepper
Bacon
Lettuce
Grated Cheese
Cherry Tomatoes
Mayonnaise
Oil to fry
 
Method:-
 
(1) Add a little Salt and Pepper to your mince and mix well.
(2) From fist sized balls of mince flatten out your burgers.
(3) Fry two rashers of Bacon per burger and set aside.
(4) Cut your buns in half and spread Mayonnaise on both top and bottom.
(5) Add Lettuce and a halved Cherry Tomato to the bottom slice of each bun.
(6) Fry your burgers turning over once, until cooked through. Don't cook for too long as they will dry out.
(7) Add your Bacon and grated Cheese and cover the pan with a large lid while still on the heat.
(8) Once the Cheese has melted place the burger on the bun and add the top of the bun. We used a knife to stop the whole thing collapsing, but you can be a bit more elegant with a burger skewer if you prefer! 
 
We served ours with dreaded oven chips as we weren't allowed a frying pan at the time (Long story) but hand cut chips would make a great accompaniment.

Universal Credit & Employment Agencies!

I appreciate that the Job Centre Plus staff have a very difficult job to do. I also appreciate that they have internal rules and guidance to follow.
 
However if they have information and documents which might assist those looking for work I would have thought that it was their duty to share these with their clients. It would seem this is not the case. Here is an example:-
 
“Having had several appointments over the last few months and also having made it clear that I was happy to do anything in my power to find employment, I asked on the off-chance if they had a list of Employment Agencies in the York area. Strangely the agent reached into a desk tidy to her left and plucked a copy from a stack in the top shelf which contains names and contact details for 25 Agencies which are active in the area. Many of these are not easily located using Google as they have head offices in other locations.”
 
Not a great service from a failing system really is it?
 
If you are willing to work for an Employment Agency in the York area here is the list as a .PDF. (11.46Mb) You can also click on the picture above in you are using a mobile phone, because we like our services and articles to be accessible to all! It's possibly not the greatest quality but if you call in and ask they are more than willing to give you a copy.
 
But which should you have to ask in the first place?
