Bf and I wanted to have hamburgers for dinner tonight. Given that it is only two of us we didn't want to buy too many hamburger buns. We plan to only make 2 burgers, one for each of us. I have searched high and low and have not been able to find a grocery store which will sell the hamburger buns by the piece; buns are only sold in packs of 4, 6, or 8. O.o There is no way we could finish that many buns between the two of us. *sigh* My search had to end with me settling on a sourdough round where we'll have to cut our own slices off of it to serve as our hamburger buns. What does everyone else do? I can't be the only one who's had this dilemma. I know there are tons of couples out there who must grapple with this problem. What's the solution? I am sure most people end up buying the 4 (6, 8) pack of buns and reconciling it to themselves with "oh, we'll just have a few extra meals of hamburgers to finish up these buns." What does that lead to? Fat Americans. Let's face it: hamburgers aren't exactly the healthiest thing in the world for you. An occassional one is ok and your body can tolerate it without exploding on you. Many servings of hamburgers, however, will cause you to grow love handles. The extra buns we were forced to buy caused us to eat the unplanned hamburgers, thereby causing my little, now large, love handles to sprout up .. er, out. What's the solution? Find a local baker (aka Mom or some nice neighbor) to make you 2 homemade buns at a time so that you don't overindulge on hamburger buns.

i was just going to say the same thing .. kaiser buns in the toaster oven for a minute or two get them nice and crunch on the outside .. or you can do it up like the original hamburgers, and put the burger b/w two slices of toast ..
