i made my protein burgers again today, but this time i went the extra mile and tried to come up with my own sort of secret sauce to put on them. but i can't fool anyone, even myself: i just stirred some fat free mayo with some relish and ketchup and told myself "shhh, it's a secret." the trouble was that the ground meat looked a little brownish when i took it out of the fridge, and i tried to smell test it, but not knowing what fresh ground meat should really smell like, i cooked it up anyhow. just the thought of having eaten bad ground meat has kind of put a knot in my stomach. either that or the combo of bad meat and fake secret sauce has conspired in my intestines to kill me.
