A Golden Couple Reunited

Forty minutes ago the news came through Texas radio station WBAP that Elizabeth Taylor had passed away. Other news outlets were slow to pick up on it and at first I thought I had hallucinated it, but no, the sad story appeared in the Los Angeles Times. And so it is that another true star has been snuffed out and left the world an even darker place.


Golden couple

It is fair to say, no other couple were more glamorous or talented than Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. They truly made the cameras come alive and bristle with electricity.
I do not follow the lives of celebrities but Elizabeth Taylor was so much more than mere celebrity. She was that rare thing, an actress which possessed stardust that put her way, way above the likes of young actresses of today.
Rest in peace dear lady, I hope that Richard is waiting for you.

World's Finest Burgers

Its no secret that I enjoy fast food and being British fish & chips of course is my favourite. But beef burgers come in a close second. Here I am going to try and compile a list of where mankind can find the best burger!
Texas has some of the finest beef steaks and certainly this seems to go for burgers too because a little Texan birdie tells me that that are a few great joints in the Metroplex area alone.

First up is Kincaid's which is a Fort Worth institution and also does speciality deviled eggs. Neat!
Next is Lee Harvey's located south of downtown Dallas which not only cooks a fantastic burge with killer onion rings but they also sell beer!
Number three is Adair's situated in the cool sounding Deep Ellum Their hamburgers are supposed to start out over an inch thick and about six inches across. and locals say that nabbing a beef burger there is not for the faint of heart. Im on my way pardner!

A little closer to home this one but Barrie's Plaice in Burry Port, West Wales does a good burger. Nice big patties and not stingy with the onions like other places and homemade relish (at least it used to be.) This is unusual too because Barrie's Plaice is a chip shop and chippies don't normally make great burgers but these are wonderfully tasty.

I'll take two please
