Orange Table/Ogden Burgers

Too hot to eat outside in Woodland Hills, California, but not too hot to BBQ my sister Sue's famous burgers (she finally leaked the recipe to me!)

The inspiration for this table was the burger recipe, new plates found this week at Home Goods, the years old bright orange plates used in a wedding shower, and the .99 napkin rings.  So here is Orange Table/Ogden Burgers.  Recipe to follow, just don't tell Sue!


Three orange plates used for my niece's citrus themed wedding shower years ago.  Wish I had purchased four plates from Pier 1 because they are rockin adorable (available on eBay for $15!)

The flowers are from my table last week after removing the aging hydrangea, and adding daisies from my yard.  Love that I had exactly three orange blooms in my garden, and that daisies are my sister's favorite flower.

Sunflower pitcher found at Ross this week for $7.  I don't shop Ross often enough; why is that?  Oh because Home Goods is across the street, and I've spend all my money there.

Sue's burgers always have delicious buns.  How cute are these plates? Kind of vintage looking.

Let's talk cheap napkin rings.  These came from the Dollar Store, four for one dollar!

Really.  On a card.  4 napkin rings for a dollar.  Serious great bargain.

I remembered I had Izze sodas, and added one to each place, but I remembered them after taking the pictures, so here is one.

 New plate from Home Goods, could be platter or charger ($6.99).
Napkin sheers made last week for another table. 

 Side of the napkin inexpensively made, but still decent, and the price, wow.


Sue's Ranch Burger Recipe
Good hamburger 1 pound
Ranch dressing mix
1 egg (from our hens1)
1/2 c. Italian Bread Crumbs
Salt and Pepper

Use your hands to mix together. Form burgers the size of your palm.  BBQ.  Yum!  Sister Sue is a home economics teacher, and a naturally good cook.  It doesn't come naturally to me at all, so hopefully I got the recipe right.  Sue is one of those no recipe "a little of this" kind of cooks.  


My office doll, now named Helen, sporting one of the napkin rings, watching over me.  Love her, and sister Sue.  

This week I'm linking to the these fun link parties.

  4. I had to scan through the post twice because I was fixated on the food the first time around! Good golly, that looks good!!!!!!!!! LOVE the tangerine/orange dishes. Don't you just hate it when you only buy 3 of something knowing full well you're going to need that 4th some day? Now it's going for $15 on eBay? Yikes!!! Your flowers look great and have held up nicely! I want to beat you up for having a Home Goods right across the doggone street!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't you know that's my home away from home?!??!?!! I NEED a Home Goods closer to my house! We currently have 2 within about 45 minutes going North or 35 minutes going SW, and another on the way (grand opening May 5!!!) about 25 minutes away. That's STILL not close enough for me! I want one in my living room!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
