Today could use something epic. What do you think, hows about we makes us some fried pickle burgers! Yea, that’s what I’m talkin’ about!

Okay, so I need you guys to use your imagination a little bit here, you know why? Well, because I had a total brain lapse and I somehow forgot to put cheese on my star burgers. I know, how can you forget something like that. I was taking pictures and wondering the whole time why they looked kind of naked but I didn’t have that slap-yourself, duh moment until I was editing. I felt really stupid.

It wasn’t totally my fault. I was totally distracted by my crazy brothers, I'll save that for another post.

Luckily they fixed it so at least the cheese-less-ness my burgers was not in vain. Anyway, I need you to imagine the cheese on them for me so I don’t feel like such an idiot, because there has to be cheese. You think you can do that? That would be great, thanks.

Is anyone familiar with artichokes? I had never even held an artichoke until I made this recipe. I pretty much had no idea what I was doing so I did a bunch of reading on the best way to cook and use them. If you are wondering why they are called artichokes it’s because that is what will happen if you eat the wrong parts of them.

I think I roasted mine too long but that was partly because of my oven, remember I told you that the top went out. They looked pretty creepy when I was done. My sister asked me if I was roasting a dead bird. Yep, they were pretty toasted. I think they looked pretty cool though. Definitely fitting for this weekend.

So artichokes are more labor than I thought at first but that is probably because I am an artichoke rookie. Next time I will get it much faster and not choke because I don’t even know what parts are edible. You have to try it. You can read all day long about the right and wrong things to do but I find that experience is the best teacher.

The flavor of these burgers as a whole is worth it all you guys. The fried pickles dipped in that ranch and then also on the burger, Yum! Everyone wants me to make more. Oh, and if you have extra ranch after everything is gone you can use it as a pasta sauce. I just added a little milk and seasoning and tossed it with pasta and chicken and it was really good.

Recipe available upon request to the first person to answer the question; What ingredient did I forget for this burger?
