Wagyu Asian Burger -Glamping
Excuse my staging here. First off , I'm not a great stager but secondly, I'm currently camping so this glamorous burger didn't get a sexy photo shoot . This is a must do burger at least once. It's a not a burger I would have tried in a restaurant, although in a high end restaurant this could be a $50.00 burger and be an easy fan favorite.
My son sells Wagyu beef, check him out at #Wallywagyu on Instagram. If you get an opportunity to try some Wagyu beef , I recommend you do. Maybe splurge for that anniversary or special birthday.
From what I understand, Wagyu cattle are specifically hand massaged to help distributed the fat in their body. Beer is also incorporated into their diet, as it helps them stay relaxed. I believe they also include a daily dose of classical music. The result is a highly marbleized piece of meat. What's extraordinary is that when your finger touches the fat in the meat , the fat begins to melt. Crazy right? It makes for an amazing steak and of course an outstanding ground beef.
Let me tell you how I made these burgers.
First, make your Wagyu beef patties and baste with a good teriyaki sauce. There are recipes to make your own but we used one we found at Sam's s Club.
Mix up some Wasabi mayo.
Wasabi Mayonnaise- serves 2-3
I tbl Wasabi
2 tbl mayonnaise
Mix and keep chilled.
Asian Slaw- serves 2-3
Carrots
Radishes
Cucumber
Lemon -zested- approx 1/4 tsp
Thinly slice the carrots, radishes and cucumbers. You decide the ratio but figure you' ll need about 1.5 cups total of the slaw mix.
I shredded the carrots with a hand shredder.
Mix it all together. Add dressing. Let sit 10 minutes in the frig.
Asian Slaw Dressing
2Tbl Olive Oil
1 Tbl Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 Tsp Soy Sauce
Optional - add a 1/2 Tsp Sesame Oil
Dress the slaw and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 10 min.
Grill burger, serve on bun, spread a layer of Wasabi mayonnaise and finally a generous amount of Asian Slaw. Every bite of this burger is a master piece.
Enjoy.
Thanks for popping in to read along.
With love and gratitude,

Upcycled Brass Planter-Dollar Store Garden Stakes
This month I've joined a "Dollar Store Challenge". As a challenge we must make something using Dollar Store purchases. I used garden stakes to upcycle a brass planter. Be sure and stop by these other bloggers to see what they have made.
I started with these garden stakes from my local Dollar Tree.
The metal tops are easy to remove from the metal stake.
I started by painting the metal butterflies using acrylic craft paints. 
Btw, any of the garden stakes could be used make as an adornment to a project or a sign. I picked up this red truck stake and hope to use it on a 4th of July sign. I'm just planting a seed so you remember not to pass by these little cuties, next time you stop in at the Dollar store.
I started with this $2 thrift store brass planter.
Drilled some holes.
A coat of white chalk paint. 
I'm making this to transplant a gardenia that my father had given to me so a "Gardenia" theme label was just perfect.
I printed out a label on my home computer and then I gave it a coat of clear wax and a buffing. This helps seal in the ink so it won't bleed.
After I decoupage the label, I give the entire piece a coat of clear wax and a buffing.
Looking good but missing something.
I used hot glue and E6000 to add the metal butterflies to the planter. The hot glue holds the butterfly to the metal planter while the E6000 dries. E6000 holds up to the weather. The hot glue will likely not hold up very long.
I hope you enjoyed this upcycle and I think you'll enjoy all the other posts below. Stop by and see what other Dollar Store projects my friends have created.
With love and gratitude,
Michele
