Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

Better Burger Battle


At what time would you consider eating a burger? Anytime? Of course, ANYTIME! The hour, the day, the week, the month really doesn't matter. Burgers have a way of creeping onto the menu morning, noon and night...and any time in between.

December 21 is...
National Hamburger Day
Actually, the 2nd National Hamburger Day!
Have it Your Way on National Hamburger Day has already been celebrated being spotlighted in National Hamburger Month! That was back in the spring and a few months after that you were invited to Just bite it... . Then, more burger delight followed with Burger! Burger!...this time with CHEESE! 

The Better Burger Battle...
Burger battles have been going on for eons with competitions for the biggest, baddest, most bountiful burger, as well as who made and named it first. Although hamburgers originated in Hamburg, Germany, eating the burger in a bun is actually an American innovation. The hamburger sandwich was most likely invented in Seymour, Wisconsin but others will stand their ground in contesting this origination. It is fact that each year Seymour hosts a hamburger festival called Burger Fest. That is where the world's largest hamburger made its debut in 2001. It weighed 8,266 pounds! Want a bite? Wonder how many people that one fed! Um-m-m? Or was it even eaten?

The ultimate burger is YOUR burger...what you want, how much you want, when you want it! There are no limits to what goes on a burger. The meat can be grilled, fried, broiled, even steamed! Well-done or medium rare. Option for the bun is open to plain, seeded, onion, white, wheat, rye, sourdough...you name it. With ketchup, mustard, mayo or without any one or none at all. Lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, mushrooms, pickles, bacon, onion rings...whatever, keep piling it on! Only one thing to remember...you must be able to bite it!
