The Urban Dynamics Educational Simulator: Tutorial for a Tool to Teach Agent-Based and Land Use and Transport Interactions Modeling Gonçalo Homem de Almeida Correia, Delft University of Technology
This paper describes a simple educational simulation tool to teach about agent-based modeling (ABM) and land use and transportation (LUT) interactions in urbanized regions. The relationship between land use and transportation in urban areas shows a dynamic complexity which is difficult to model with static or very aggregated approaches. Agent-based simulation is becoming a standard to model certain complex systems including LUT interactions. The LUT modeling with agent-based simulation has been evolving in the last 20 years and there are some complete models being applied to real metropolitan areas. In this paper, only some of the ingredients of those models are presented in an easy to explain agent-based model that can be used in classes.» Mehr lesen
Dynamic Recovery Policies for Time-Critical Supply Chains under Conditions of Ripple Effect Dmitry Ivanov, Boris Sokolov, Inna Solovyeva et al.
We consider time critical supply chains in the Australia dairy industry and re-covery policies in the presence of the ripple effect. Ripple effect is the impact of a dis-ruption on supply chain economic performance and disruption-based scope of changes needed in the supply structures and parameters to preserve the resilience. First, we de-scribe the ripple effect in general and one example of the ripple effect in the dairy supply chain in Australia. Second, we present a model for reactive recovery policies in the dairy supply chain under conditions of the ripple effect and exemplify them on a simulation example. The results of this study can be used in future for comparing proactive and re-active approaches to tackling the ripple effect from resilience and flexibility views.» Mehr lesen
Simulation-based Single versus Dual Sourcing Analysis in the Supply Chain with Consideration of Capacity Disruptions, Big Data and Demand Patterns Dmitry Ivanov
Sourcing strategy analysis in the settings of supply chain flexibility in regard to single vs dual sourcing has been a well explored area over the last two decades. In recent years, single vs dual sourcing analy-sis has been increasingly introduced in supply chain disruption management. Since most of the deci-sion-support models for supply chain sourcing strategy adaptation in the case of disruptions presume real-time information and coordination, the issues of Big Data and business intelligence needs to be included into the consideration. A supply chain simulation model with consideration of capacity dis-ruption and Big Data along with experimental results are presented. Based on both literature analysis and modelling example, managerial insights are derived. A set of sensitivity experiments allows to illustrate the model's behaviour. The analysis suggest recommendation on using single sourcing, ca-pacity flexibility, and dual sourcing for different combinations of demand and inventory patterns. The paper is concluded by summarizing the most important insights and outlining future research agenda.» Mehr lesen
Simulation-based Ripple Effect Modelling in the Supply Chain Dmitry Ivanov
In light of low-frequency/high-impact disruptions, the ripple effect has recently been intro-duced into academic literature on supply chain management. The ripple effect in the supply chain results from disruption propagation from the initial disruption point to the supply, pro-duction and distribution networks. While optimization modelling dominates this research field, the potential of simulation modelling still remains under-explored. The objective of this study is to reveal research gaps that can be closed with the help of simulation modelling.» Mehr lesen
Sustainable Development in Surgery: The Health, Poverty, and Equity Impacts of Charitable Surgery in Uganda Mark G. Shrime, Serufusa Sekidde, Allison Linden et al.
The recently adopted Sustainable Development Goals call for the end of poverty and the equitable provision of healthcare. These goals are often at odds, however: health seeking can lead to catastrophic spending, an outcome for which cancer patients and the poor in resource-limited settings are at particularly high risk. How various health policies affect the additional aims of financial wellbeing and equity is poorly understood. This paper evaluates the health, financial, and equity impacts of governmental and charitable policies for surgical oncology in a resource-limited setting. Three charitable platforms for surgical oncology delivery in Uganda were compared to six governmental policies aimed at improving healthcare access. An extended cost-effectiveness analysis using an agent-based simulation model examined the numbers of lives saved, catastrophic expenditure averted, impoverishment averted, costs, and the distribution of benefits across the wealth spectrum.» Mehr lesen
Building a Simulation Model to Characterize Interacting Workflows and to Explore New Workflow Alternatives Janet E. Wedgwood, Jay Ritchie, Nadya Belov, et al.
Sortie Generation Rate (SGR) is an important metric for air dominance. Lockheed Martin must demonstrate that the Air System can fly the sorties during an allotted time and deliver the capability to the war fighter. Aircraft turnaround time- the time between when the aircraft touches down, refuels, rearms, and completes inspections in order to release the aircraft, to aircraft wheels up - plays an important role in achieving the SGR requirement.» Mehr lesen
Evaluation of Outbreak Response Immunization in the Control of Pertussis Using Agent-based Modeling Alexander Doroshenko, Weicheng Qian and Nathaniel D. Osgood
Pertussis control remains a challenge due to recently observed effects of waning immunity to acellular vaccine and suboptimal vaccine coverage. Multiple outbreaks have been reported in different ages worldwide. For certain outbreaks, publichealth authorities can launch an outbreak response immunization (ORI) campaign to control pertussis spread. The authors developed an agent-based model to investigate effects of outbreak response immunization campaigns targeting young adolescents in averting pertussis cases. The experience proved that ABM offers a promising methodology to evaluate other public health interventions used in pertussis control. The authors also identified the strong need for further research into application of modeling to further our understanding of pertussis epidemiology.» Mehr lesen
Falling Off the Cliff? Increasing Economic Security for Low Income Adults as the Safety Net Shrinks Joshua D. Hawley, Julie A. Maurer
The public assistance system is supposed to offer a bridge between poverty and self-sufficiency. Families receive benefits such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to soften the impact of loss of income. The programs are intended to be limited in duration and provide a very modest amount of financial support. Some families are fortunate to also receive a housing voucher or a child care subsidy to help offset basic expenses. Eligibility for benefits varies by program and is based on different criteria, most of which are linked to personal income. This study asks: what happens when benefits are cut before individuals reach economic stability? This is frequently called the "benefits cliff."» Mehr lesen
Agent-based Analysis of Picker Blocking in Manual Order Picking Systems: Effects of Routing Combinations on Throughput Time Ralf Elbert, Torsten Franzke et al
Order picking is one of the most labor- and time-consuming processes in supply chains. Improving the performance of order picking is thus a frequently researched topic. Due to high cost pressure for warehouse managers the space in storage areas has to be used efficiently. Hence narrow-aisle warehouses where order pickers cannot pass as well as several order pickers working in the same area are common. This leads to congestion which is in this context referred to as picker blocking. This paper employs an agent-based simulation approach to investigate the effects of picker blocking in manual order picking systems with different combinations of routing policies for three order pickers in a rectangular warehouse with narrow-aisles.» Mehr lesen
Spare Part Management in a Testing Workshop Xiaobing Li, Kaike Zhang, Zhibo Tan
Spare part management is essential to many organizations, since excess inventory leads to high holding costs and stock outs can greatly impact operations performance, but it is a major problem in the testing work shop in Robert Bosch China Diesel (RBCD) Wuxi. The workshop is used to test the functionality of the injectors, such as those statistics for pressure, electro conductivity, etc. After implementing the automated tower storage in the work shop, the workshop supervisor applied monthly order policy to purchase spare parts, which means at the end of each month, he/she will check the consumption of last month's spare parts and make orders according to that data. However, in order to control the inventory of spare parts and achieve minimum total inventory cost of those parts, the (Q, r) model was suggested to make the monthly order, realizing the goal of maximizing the net profit of injectors.» Mehr lesen

Malm Captain's Bed for tiny NYC Apartment
Materials: MALM 6-Drawer Dresser, EKBY TONY/ EKBY BJARNUM, NISSE Folding Chair, 2x4s, Plywood Scraps, Shelving Board
Description: I have a tiny bedroom (about 6ft by 7ft) in a 3-bedroom apartment in New York City and was looking for a way to make the best use out of the space. As a student, I still wanted a desk space to do my work so that was a must. When I first moved into the space I was using the Tromso loft with the desk attachment underneath and that was about it. Being a tall person however (I'm about 6'1″) I quickly found that a twin loft bed was just not going to work in the long term.
When I stumbled upon Ikeahackers and and saw some Malm hacks for storage beds it got me thinking about how I could make my own custom built for the space, and with the help of my father and uncle here is the result! I could not be more happy with the way it turned out!
The basic structure of the bed is an L-shaped table that was built to surround the dresser, which is free-standing. Since the dresser is only 63″ wide by about 19″ deep, the supporting structure needed to compensate for the rest of the bed, which overall is 74″ wide by 54″ deep. It is made of the 2×4′s which were doubled up to make about 8 4×8 legs upon which the plywood top was attached. These legs were then connected and reinforced by cladding the inside with additional 2×4′s that go around the perimeter. The unfinished end of the bed that was added beyond the dresser and the desk that was made to come off the end was made out of the finished shelving board which matches the finish on the Malm dresser almost perfectly!
The shelves above the desk are the EKBY TONY/ EKBY BJARNUM which were actually too big for the space. So my dad just measured them and cut them down to the right size before attaching them to the wall. The computer was put into place prior to attaching them to the wall to get the perfect height of the lowest shelf and then the books were put into place to figure out the placement of the upper shelf. The chair at the desk is the NISSE folding chair, which I am thinking about putting on the wall with hooks when not in use, but I am thinking that is not necessary as I have more room than I thought I would!
Overall the construction took about 6 hours and turned out pretty great if I do say so myself!! Would love to know what you all think as I love this site!

52 Responses to Malm Captain's Bed for tiny NYC Apartment
Hi! I've been thinking to build one of these beds for my kids. But I'm wondering if the dresser can handle the weight of one or to almost adult persons… How does the dresser handle, now after these years?
Would you like to show more pictures (details en how to)
Thank you
Thanks again everyone for the amazing comments on this post! I still love how this turned out. Just to clarify if it wasn't clear, this bed IS a full size mattress. Before undertaking this project I had a twin lofted in the space, but opted to make this captain's bed and upgrade to a full. I recently finished grad school and so I no longer needed the desk space as often as I did before so I ripped it out and got a Brimnes 2-door wardrobe in it's place. Then to fill the gap between the bed and the wardrobe I found a small closet organizer from closetmaid to act as a nightstand. I think it turned out really well and I have a TON more storage in the room now! Here's some updated pics! Would love to hear what you guys think of the update
I'm not handy at all but looking for alternative bed solutions . Would it just work to get the Ikea storage unit and plop a matress over it and not hook it to the wall or make any modifications . Would it still work well and stay in place ?
hi… I wonder if that would work to make a double bed… Have a dresser on both sides? Mmm gotta tey that
This one is a double bed, but I didn't have the space to do one on either side, but I would imagine it would work if you just found a way to support the middle
Hi! I was reading on ikea and it said to secure the dressers into the wall, do you really have to? Also could you post more picture please? I've been wanting to do something like this for a while and I would love to see more of how yours turned out!
Thanks, Sage.
Peter I think you done a GREAT job !! This is exactly what I have plans for our little boys room so he can have more area to play. Our bedrooms are not real big and by the time you get a queen bed dressers a desk and toy box well that leaves walking space and that's it. I have looked at these new style loft beds and they are nothing more then exactly what you have made except for the price tag ! They are also always a twin. We can also put another dresser at the foot of the bed on his and am thinking if the platform for the mattress or be put on hinges so the mattress can lift up for storage of items not uses often. I seen the beds with hinges on Pinterest FABULOUS !! They were king size beds even. Great job on your space !! One last thing NOT directed towards you in any way but these others who want to spat back and forth just because one THINKS some one is rude etc that is sooo ridiculous or arguing back and forth over some thing so trivial !!! Waste of my time having to scan over your ridiculous spatting. Just as the one states If you don't like it don't comment well same goes if you don't like some ones comments don't comment on their comment !! These sites our to share our ideas with others we can use the same idea or tweak it to our liking Keep things civil and peaceful there is plenty of war going on in the world today to bring this type of grips and complaints on every social site on the internet today. I look for ideas that will help our life style and find plenty of great ideas if I don't like how some one did some thing I leave it to myself Others need to learn the same and it's called RESPECT which seems that in today's world not many people even know the word let alone the meaning of it !! Well Peter I think you did a fantastic job and thanks for sharing with us. It's a perfect project that I wasn't sure myself if it would work but thanks to you sharing with us well now I know it does work so off to plan my project so our little one will have some play area !!
how much was this?
With the price of the dresser at $149 and the use of scrap materials etc., the bed itself was only about $250. Overall for the desk portion and all the shelves it was about $400 total so not bad at all I don't think and it's still going strong after 2 years in the space!
Wow! Great idea and job on your bed/dresser/desk!
And after reading all the comments, kudos to the readers who disagreed and then were mature enough to actually communicate respectfully with each other. What a breath of fresh Internet-forum air!
Great hack! I made a full size version for my own smell apartment in DC. It's started to get really creaky, I think I'm going to add some WD40 to it but do you or anyone else have any other suggestions?
It looks great, Peter! I'm really impressed! I'm all the way on the left coast in San Diego and just moved to a studio. I'm going to copy you! How tall is the dresser? Is it just one dresser? Cause I'm seeing two three drawer malm dressers on the ikea site and I was thinking about pushing them together and then using a third at the foot of the bed for an L-shaped dresser bonanza because I will have this in the corner with one side and the foot of the bed exposed. I'm not sure how exactly to do the 2×4′s and plywood, but I'll figure it out cause I'm a woman with tools! Lol. Thanks for the great idea. Haven't been happy with the 'storage beds' I've been seeing online and stumbled onto your post. Thanks!
Also planning the queen sized underbed storage ,as much as possible for a daylight basement living area to same with family.How do you plan the double storage as you wrote above?
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking of doing in my new place! I came to this site to look for things similar, to inspire how I'd do my hack, and then I found your bed – amazing. Seriously, this is **exactly** what I was looking for (except I'm making mine a Queen size, with double the storage underneath)
Thank you!
p.s. I second all of the other requests for more detail photos of the bed frame construction.
Did you ever end up making your queen bed this way? I have a queen bed now and have been looking for ways to do this but everything I come across is for full beds!
Thanks so much everyone for the great comments!! I tried to respond to as many as I could right now, but love all the feedback! This was a total labor of love project and I will have to update with some new pictures as I have made a bunch of changes to the decor even in the last week or so!
Keep em' coming!
This is not about the hack but does everyone have a hard time with special codes to put in? even with a magnifier I can not read most of them? whats with that?
I have hard time with that and also to go back to main page, i am always stuck on comment page. I have to reload the site page again.
great hack, how do you feel about going to Texas and making a cool bed? lol Don't listen to the "ney sayers" can't say anything nice Don't say anything at all.
This is awesome! Loose the chair though. Back problems are preprogrammed with it. I used to work on one like that. It's just not designed for long computer sessions.
I would agree with you–I don't really use it that much though and got a folding chair in the expectations that I would be putting it up on the wall with hooks when not in use, but have found that I don't really need the extra space that would provide! So I'll keep it for now…I really picked the chair because it matched with all the white in the room!
This would work beautifully in a micro home! Kudos!
Bravo – well-done. And hey, you have a window – great!

Love those creative New Yorkers! Where there's a will there's a way!!
Ha–a definite make it work city! I actually don't have a closet in this room even, so I share the hall one with one of my roommates…but I'm in my early 20′s, a student, and I live in one of the most amazing cities in the world so I would do anything to make it work!
Dear Anonymous 3,
If you simply HAD to say something, you could have phrased it as a question and sounded less rude (For example: I am curious, would it have worked to put an expedite…). That way you assume the poster had reasons that you just didn't know. Since it was THEIR project, and THEIR house, and THEIR unfilled need they were creating a fix for.
However, looking at the hack, why in the world WOULD they have an Expedit? From the angle I'm looking at, there isn't space at the end of the Malm. The bed is up against 3 walls (ie, every side that ISNT a Malm), and there's not enough room in what the author calls a "Tiny NYC apartment") to move that bed around, even if it were on casters, which it isn't. So putting these mythical Expedits around the bed just makes for space that, in order to access, you have to lift off the whole bed. I suppose that works for storing…uh… Winter coats in July? But anything you might want to switch out more than once a year, that's a LOT Of hassle. Personally? Too much hassle even for coats in July, but maybe in a Tiny NYC apartment it'd be worth it. MAYBE. Oh, and winter coats in July that you have to lift the whole bed for DON'T NEED EXPEDITS! You can just stuff them in boxes and put them under the bed. Expedits only make any sense at all if you can reach them WITHOUT lifting the bed, which he can't with all 3 sides up against walls.
BTW, if you'd phrased it as a question, I wouldn't have done the facepalm there. Because you'd have assumed that the OP was intelligent, and therefore I'd have assumed you were intelligent and that maybe my perspective was wrong or there was something I didn't see.
Anonymous 4: Your English was fine. I'd have assumed you were a native speaker if you hadn't excused yourself. It's much better than my French, or than my Spanish, and then we run out of things I'd even consider trying:)
I think by expidit on castors he meant http://www.ikeahackers.net/2012/04/expedit-for-compact-living.html a hack from a little while ago but i agree with the way he said his comment.
I'm sorry you think it sounds rude. For all I know, Peter is using that space and he just forgot to mention it. Or he doesn't need it. Or he considered full-depth shelves and chose to use the dresser instead, which does look nicer than Expedit. Or maybe there's a radiator, or a column, or a monster was already living on that side of the room and still needs the space. I really don't know. That's why I said "it seems like".
See my reply above for a clarification on the Expedits. No need for lifting the bed. But maybe cut down on the caffeine a little.
Yeah–I am using the space under the bed for extra storage of suitcases, etc…stuff I don't really use that much
The dresser is free-standing so it slides in and out to access everything if I really need it for any reason!
Suggestion on caffeine noted. Sorry if I came off as overly abrassive. It wasn't meant that way. I am overly sensitive to "You should have" type comments. It's probably my issue, not yours. But I always try to go with "could you have…" or "Hey, that would also work if…" I am trying to understand if you think he could add an expedit to the setup, in which case, I really don't see how or if he has space. It looks like it's too cramped for an expedit ADDED ON to the current space, but I don't have a tape measure, and haven't memorized the dimensions of all possible expedits. If you meant expedits instead of, as it sort of seemed like you might be, then it can be read like a criticism "You should have used expedits instead of malm." And maybe that would be possible, but, and again, this may be my issue not yours, that sounds like "you did it wrong" to my ear. I absolutely LOVE all the great ideas I get from this website, and I have a vested interest in people posting all their brilliant ideas, because I have exactly 0 brilliant ideas. I'm afraid if people feel they're being criticized, they won't post. So I'm being selfishly defensive. I love comments like "If you wanted, you could add a to have some extra space in that corner, too." which makes more of a "great idea! Wow, and if you run with that, it can become even better!"
Anyway, sorry if I looked like someone who needed decaf. (I actually don't drink coffee, but I like that you went with "woah, calm down a bit" instead of "Back off wench!" so thanks:)
And I tend to say 'you should have' meaning 'did you think about…' so I'll work on not using that again. It does sound like 'you were wrong', but I did not mean to say that. The room looks very sharp and wonderfully liveable the way it is. (And thank you for your calming reply too.)
Yes, I was thinking about using Expedits instead of Malm. But as it turns out, Peter chose to leave the large open space for bulky storage. I didn't realize the dresser could slide out. The Expedits can only store small boxes and would really have cut down on what could be stored there, so obviously he thought about it a lot more than I did. Peter's solution is better than my suggestion in every way.
Wow I really like your room lighting and also decoration of bedroom. Its looks very beautiful,simple and comfort.
Thanks!! I'll have to get some new photos! I actually ended up doing a really cool stenciled paint treatment to the wall behind the bed to make it a focal wall and getting new bedding that goes along with the color scheme of the room more. I couldn't love this tiny little space more than I do!!
Very nice hack, and looks like a lot of thought went into the whole thing. End result looks very clean too. I hope you have a separate (shared) living area though, because that is a small space! If not, I would consider adding a wall folding mechanism to the bed so that 60% of your space isn't permanently filled with a bed.
here, in italy, a 2x2m is not even a bedroom!!!! maybe a bathroom…
maybe i'm not too much into new york, but peter, the op, said it is a 3bedroom apartment, and, if it has 3 bedrooms, to me it's logical to think it can have some kind of living too.
and i like the hack, very nice and practical
ha, yeah it's a 3 bedroom apartment with a pretty large living/dining area and a HUGE kitchen as far as manhattan is concerned. I really only use my room for sleeping, watching tv and getting away from my roommates whenever I feel like being alone
wow, some testy stuff going on around here.
first off i wanna say nice hack! it looks really nice, congratulations on successfully fitting a queen(?) sized bed into your tiny apartment room, I really like it.
I totally agree with your assessment that expedits wouldnt really make much sense if the bed mattress cant be lifted. however im failing to see how that anonymous poster 3 has offended anyboday.
he said he liked it but had some suggestions to offer. IMO it wasnt phrased in the nicest way possible and probably wasnt well thought through but i cant see anything offensive about his comment either. to be honest your sounding so much more aggressive in your post than anonymous poster 3 did in his post.
Thanks for pointing that out, sincerely. I wasn't trying to be aggressive. I was trying to be supportive of the OP, but maybe I was being overly sensitive to something that wasn't meant as a criticism.
I'll try not to do it again:)
Even we have done a similar bed in the kids room. But unlike drawer, it is more of a storage place. If we need to use it as a bed, then just put mattress over that.
last anon, if you suggest the expedit solution, do you expect Peter to remove everything, buy new expedit(s) and build a new bed ? Your comment is purely rude.
I accept that sometime the project is realy bad and is "revolting", in which case maybe you can have your word; If you like it, say it, otherwise your ideas whichever would be better, keep for your projects. Dont' forget to take pictures and post them.
To everyone, sorry for my English.
Your English is fine, but your reaction to my comment is very surprising. As I said, Peter's solution looks great and I'm not sure where you got the idea that I thought it was bad or revolting, or that he should change it.
Peter asked for opinions on his solution. I always read the comments on neat projects to see if readers have other solutions for the project and was hoping to provide an alternative that another reader might find useful.
His dresser is 20 cubic feet in size but his solution appears to leave over 38 additional cubic feet of empty, inaccessible space under the bed behind the dresser. That's almost two additional dressers' worth of space. An alternative way to achieve (almost) the same result is to place four 2×4 Expedits on their long sides, with the openings lined up and facing sideways toward the door. This would create long 'tunnels' allowing the use of that space. Like http://www.ikeahackers.net/2012/01/faktum-cabinets-bed.html#more or http://www.ikeahackers.net/2011/05/expedit-re-purposed-as-bed-frame-for.html .
It looks great, but it seems like there's a lot of wasted space behind the dresser under the bed. You could use that space if you replaced the dresser with several 2×4 Expedit bookcases placed sideways, and stored clothes and other items in pull-out boxes.
Unfortunately, the room is SO small that the bed almost literally extends from one end to the other. I thought about putting something like an expedit at the end, but was on a budget and didn't think that it would help me that much storage wise (or aesthetics-wise) to add that to the design. So instead I left a small gap between the wall and the foot of the bed (about 6″) and that is where I store big things like my duffle bags, winter boots, etc–the stuff that I don't really use all that much. Plus since my original post I have added a picture ledge at the head of the bed for more decoration and a place to put my book (currently reading Mockingjay) and a glass of water or something:
I also added a a Besta Burs cabinet along the wall for added storage:
So I actually don't really need the extra space…more storage just means I have more stuff and living in the heart of Manhattan on a budget I have learned that less is more!
You're right, the room works better with the Malm. I need to learn the less is more lesson! Congrats on an awesome design.
Looks lovely I will probably try the same thing in my tiny bedroom^^
Coud you put some photos of the bed structure without the mattress please? It would be really helpful^O^
Will see what I can do! Thanks for the post
Looks great! At first I didn't even realise that there was Malm below the bed, so, well done.
Looks great! Congratulations!
How does the air flow underneath the bed to protect the matress from mould? would love to see more pictures.
thanks and hf!
The base of the rest of the bed is plywood and then we cut holes throughout the surface of it to help facilitate the air flow and prevent molding! Thanks for the comment

Hi Everyone! I am looking forward to starting a new phase in my scrapbooking career! After all these years, I am going digital. After much research, I am going with PhotoShop Elements (program I am familiar with). Plus I am going away scrapbooking with all the girls this weekend so I should have plenty of time to dive in and experiment.
Looking forward to looking at everyone's layouts this week and chatting it up!
Lisa from Michigan


text: Finally died after 24 years By Steve on 2/16/2014Steve would recommend this product to a friendI have had two of these WMD-30RLT-115 pumps on my 180 gallon system for over 24 years. One returns water from the sump to the tanks while the other runs a skimmer. These are the American motors. I noticed the housings starting to rust 4 years ago so I bought a spare. Glad I did because tonight the bearing finally went out on the return pump. The Japanese housings should not rust because they are made of Aluminum. I know the bearing failed because it squealed and whined loudly. So, I'm buying another American WMD as a replacement spare in case the skimmer pump fails on a Sunday night. If the American motors are inferior to the Japanese motors, then the Japanese motors must last for 50 years. But, I'm not willing to pay the extra $60. I'm very satisfied with the WMD.

hahahhahah, nice John
I do believe Zen and Christianity are compatible.. well because I practice Zen and I'm a Christian
I've always been a Christian who didn't take beliefs for granted. I'm not going to argue magic or heaven and hell. I might as well argue about unicorns and leprechauns. To me the point is how we live this life now.
I'm a man of reason and science, which is why I really really like Zen. It's very scientific in the sense that you put your money where your mouth is and test and verify the Buddhis tenets through your practice.
So even in Zen there are beliefs. You have to have faith in the path and let it unfold. Really that faith is important. I can't tell you how many times I've had to kick myself in the ass to continue practicing and just letting myself have faith in this to keep going. Faith is just part of being human. No matter what we do, there is just a deep element of belief.

The temple was previously called "Wat Luang" or "Wat Luang Klang Wiang" as it was constructed to be a royal temple. According to the 74th stone of inscription discovered within the compound, this temple was built during the reign of Chaopu Khaeng in 1406 to be a place for rulers to conduct Buddhist ceremonies and the Oath of Allegiance Ceremony. The inscription also mentioned that Phaya Phonlathep Ruechai, a Nan ruler, renovated the main wihan (Buddhist chapel) in 1548 A.D.
The architectural characteristics of the temple reflect the influence of Sukhothai arts such as the Phrathat in the Lankan style (a bell shape). The base is surrounded by sculptures of the front half of elephants. It looks as though they use their back to support (or "Kham" in Thai word) the phratat, similar to Wat Chang Lom in Sukhothai province.
The main wihan enshrines the Buddha image in the posture of forgiveness called "Phra Phuttha Nanthaburi Si Sakkayamuni." This 145-centimeters bronze statue is cast with 65% pure gold and is believed to be cast in 14th century or during the late Sukhothai Period. The main Buddha image is also elegantly beautiful and representing Chiang Saen style of art and skills of Nan craftsmanship.

Reverse transfer agreement benefits students at Emporia State University and Johnson County Community CollegeSeptember 27, 2012
An agreement signed today by officials at Emporia State University and Johnson County Community College will allow some students to finish their JCCC degree while attending Emporia State.
"Emporia State University and Johnson County Community College, are committed to student success," said Dr. Michael D. Shonrock, Emporia State president. "The reverse transfer agreement gives the opportunity to both institutions to help their respective students complete their college degrees in Kansas."
The reverse transfer agreement, as the arrangement is called, allows JCCC students who have completed at least 45 college credits to finish their remaining credit hours for an associate's degree while attending Emporia State. Essentially, the credit hours taken at Emporia will count both for the university and JCCC.
The partnership helps students complete their community college degree; many of them are just shy of that degree when they transfer to a four-year school. It will help JCCC by improving the college's completer rate.
"This is a big step forward for both institutions and for students," JCCC President Terry Calaway said. "It enhances learning options at both schools, and it's one more way we can promote a seamless transfer process for students."
The two presidents signed the agreement this afternoon on the Johnson County Community College campus in Overland Park. The two schools have been working out the details of the arrangement for a number of months.
Emporia State will notify all new students with an official transcript on file that shows they earned a minimum of 45 credit hours of coursework to see if a student wants to participate. Separate academic records for students will be maintained at each institution.
Check out our students' achievements and accomplishments on Emporia State's meritpages.com site

When I first moved to New York, I was struck by the presence of what was called a Texas burger. At first I was thrilled, curious as to what it could contain—guacamole, jalapenos or salsa all seemed like reasonable guesses. But I was wrong. In New York, a Texas burger means that it's topped with a fried egg. A fried egg? Now that doesn't really say Texas to me—does it say Texas to you?
For almost 15 years, I've pondered this burger. You may find burgers in Texas that have a fried egg on them, of course, but it's definitely the exception not the norm. When I think of the burgers I grew up with, I think about a thick patty topped with cheese, lettuce (preferably crunchy iceberg), tomatoes, onions and dill pickle slices, nestled between a bun spread with mustard and mayonnaise. And perhaps you'll throw on some jalapenos if you're feeling racy.
Of course, Texas being a large and diverse place there are variations on our burgers. On some Texas burgers you may find refried beans and corn chips, or cream cheese with jalapenos, or guacamole and bacon or perhaps a hearty dollop of chile con queso. All of these additions, however, still remind me of our native cuisine. But the fried egg? Not so much.
This isn't to say that we don't put fried eggs on foods. Take West Texas stacked enchiladas, which are made creamy and rich with the addition of a runny, fried egg on top of a mountain of corn tortillas, chili gravy and cheese. (Actually, that could make for a good burger—a patty topped with Longhorn cheddar, chili gravy with some refried beans spread on the bun.) But nope, in New York the fried-egg Texas burger doesn't come dressed that way. Heck, I've even seen a so-called Texas burger come with fried egg, barbecue sauce and blue cheese crumbles, which, being in polite company, we will not discuss my reaction to this insult to the good name of Texas.
Texas Monthly recently published its top 50 burgers in the state and when I was reading the list, I was struck by how many places now sandwich their beef patty on a homemade jalapeno cheese bun. Now we're talking! While the quality of the meat is what makes for a great hamburger, the bun is also a very important part of the equation. And as Alison Cook wrote in 1983, "If Texans hold any truth to be self-evident, it is that there is nothing that would not be improved by the addition of a little jalapeno."
No stranger to making jalapeno cheese bread, I decided to make my own jalapeno cheese buns. I went for a soft, egg-rich bread like my cemita rolls and just threw in some fresh diced jalapenos and a mess of shredded cheddar cheese. The buns were sturdy yet tender with enough flavor from the chiles and cheese to make them pleasant eating just on their own. But pair the buns with a thick juicy beef patty, some iceberg lettuce, mayonnaise, mustard, red onion and sliced dill pickles and you have yourself my perfect version of a Texas burger.
I've told you mine and now I'm curious: what's your perfect Texas burger?
Jalapeno cheese buns
2 cups (9 oz.) all-purpose or bread flour, plus 1/2 cup for kneading
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon (or one packet) of yeast
1/2 cup buttermilk, heated to 110 degrees
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg room temperature
2 jalapenos, stems and seeds removed and diced
3/4 cup shredded longhorn cheddar
Mix together the 2 cups of flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Beat the egg with the oil and then add the warm buttermilk. Stir the liquid into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Let dough rest for 15 minutes and then add the jalapenos and shredded cheddar. Spread a 1/2 cup of flour on a clean surface and knead dough for five minutes or until it comes together. Note that the dough will be a little sticky.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it and let it rise until it's doubled in size, about an hour and a half.
Depending on how large you want your rolls to be, divide the dough into eight or four balls and let them rest, covered for 15 minutes.
To shape the rolls, take each ball and then flatten it so it looks like a disc.
Place each roll a few inches apart on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Cover the baking sheet and let the rolls rise for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the rolls for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Note: Bread only lasts a day, but freezes well.

Jalapeno cheese bun recipe for a proper Texas burger
66 comments:
- Phoo-D said...
This sounds pretty perfect to me! I think your regular cemita buns are incredible and can't wait to give this version a try.
- Natanya said...
This post makes me think of my father who, while born and raised in South Carolina, has lived in El Paso for 30+ years so he's really a Texan now. He loves jalapenos on _everything_ and he loves his burgers. I bet he would flip over a burger on this bun. And then I thought, I have this great buffalo burger recipe that I stuff with Hatch greens and manchego that would be great on this bun - two different chile flavors in one burger. There's grilling and bun-making in my future I think. If my dad is nice he might even get to try one :-)
- Tamara said...
Can't wait to try it -- I love your bread recipes. Oatmeal bread is a staple at our house!
- Anna said...
I'm with you. Living in TX, I guess everything is a Texas burger. :) But I would have guessed guac, jalepenos, cheddar for sure, maybe extra beef? would make a Texas burger. I've never seen a burger with a fried egg on any menu here in the Lone Star State, though I'm sure it exists.
- StuffCooksWant said...
BBQ sauce, mayo and dill pickle chips piled with grated cheese and a buffalo burger patty... the Theta Special at Hut's Hamburgers, Austin TX.
- David Anderson said...
Thanks for all your excellent recipes! My family moved in 1979 and I've missed all the excellent food ever since! In Buffalo, they have an affront called a "Texas Hot" (a hot dog) which bears no relation to anything I ever had in Texas. So sad. Please keep the recipes coming!
- Bbq Dude said...
See Canadian bacon for another example of this phenomenon.
- Latter-Day Flapper said...
All of the above except mayonnaise, which I can't stand.
I always go to Whataburger because the default Whataburger is just that: Tomato, onion, pickles, iceberg lettuce, and mustard, so I never have to alter the order and they never make a mistake. I do often add jalapeños, though.
I've never seen a fried egg on a hamburger. I've heard of it, but never encountered it. (Kind of like Bigfoot . . . )
A good hamburger bun is hard to find. I'll have to try this.
- Tasty Eats At Home said...
Agreed. A fried egg, while pretty yummy on a burger, does not a "Texas burger" make. Jalapenos, chili, queso, sure! This bun recipe makes me want to kiss you, it sounds so good. I'll have to figure out a gluten-free version - I need to make gluten-free hamburger buns anyway, and if they had cheese and jalapenos, that would be amazing!
- Stephanie said...
I'm in East TX, and have never seen egg on a burger, either. Strange. When I make burgers, I sauté onion & jalapeno slices, and top the patty with cheddar-Jack or pepper-Jack slices, followed by the peppers & onions. Then everyone adds mustard, mayo, or whatever they want. I'm definitely going to make your buns next time! Sounds fantastic!
- Melissa said...
Yeah, can't say that I've ever had a hamburger topped with a fried egg. I love jalapeno cheese buns. I used to make tons of them when I worked at Cafe Eccell in College Station.
- Melanie said...
I've recently moved to Germany, and while I've never seen a fried egg on a burger (yet), fried eggs make it onto every other type of dish and thus this burger sounds more like a German burger than a Texas burger. My ideal Texas burger has guacamole and bacon! Yum!
- Miss Meat and Potatoes said...
Lisa I ate the #3 burger as rated by Texas Monthly (and the one on the cover of that issue) at Alamo Springs General Store outside of Fredericksburg when I was back home! It was delicious (though oddly, their jalapeno cheddar bun didn't taste much of jalapeno or cheddar) but my favorite thing they had was their deep fried avocado! It was the best thing on earth - filled with cheese and ground beef with a thick and crispy double coating of batter on the outside. I still have no idea how they pull that off because they present it to you whole - a mystery worth pursuing and one I'm sure the Homesick Texan could solve...
Beautiful and delicious post, as always!
- Kimberly said...
I think you're right on. Here in Houston, a Texas burger means red onion, mustard, and jalapenos. My hubby knows his burgers and the jalapeno bun would be right up his alley.
- Kira said...
Funny--when I was living in Spain, I found numerous restaurants that referred to an egg-topped burger as American-style! Seems that no one wants to own up to this delicious creation. And that the U.S. generally is to Spain as Texas is to the U.S. generally?
- Cheri (aka "The Mom Lady") said...
Okay, so Pioneer Woman published her first cookbook and it arrived yesterday. When are you going to publish YOURS?? When you do, let me know so I can order 6 of them for me, my daughters and gifts for my friends. Girl, you need to get a cookbook going posthaste! :)
Growing up, we ALWAYS had cheeseburgers on Saturday night. And the "really good ones" were topped with longhorn cheddar, sliced thick, allowed to go to room temp and "sweat" as my dad called it, cooked on the charcoal grill and placed on an onion bun. I can taste it now! Throw in some potato chips and French Onion Dip by Bordens, thinly sliced white onion on that burger plus whatever condiments (mine was ketchup and LOTS OF IT) and we were in hog heaven. (and of course, we had to watch "Hee Haw" on the TV - Dad's fav Saturday night show...) That constituted Saturday night supper for me in Lubbock, Texas!
At a fish place down here in west Houston, they do a fabulous burger with monterery jack cheese, thick bacon slices and slices of fresh avocado - oh.my.word!
Really though, the cookbook? Think about it, dear. Your legions of gastronomic fans await...
- tallmisto said...
A Texas burger? I live in Arizona and there is seems to be a blur in the lines of South West styles here. But I think of Texas having a very defined style. I'd to have Jalapenos for sure on my Texas burger. It would be BIG, maybe with a smear of some good Texas chili, and a nice layer of longhorn cheddar. But I would certainly like to have it on those buns. Thank you for the recipe, they look amazing!
- HoustonGurly said...
Sounds delicious!
- HomegrownTexan said...
I grew up in the Austin area. When I read "Texas burger" followed by "egg on top" I heard that "record screeches to a stop" sound in my mind.
I grew up eating pretty much plain burgers with nothing fancy on them: mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickle, maybe some longhorn cheese, NO ketchup (my mom says those are Yankee burgers LOL). But they had to have a thick meat patty (if it's too thin to order it medium, it's too thin) and a substantial bun that adds flavor. Oh, and the meat must be seasoned, preferably mixed into the mix and not just sprinkled on top.
- TKW said...
A fried egg? Whaaaaaaa?
Now your version, on the other hand, looks quite delicious and very Texan, to boot!
- Lisa (Homesick Texan) said...
Phoo-D--Oh, thanks--these are similar in texture they just have cheese and jalapenos for extra flavor.
Natanya--I can't think of one Texan that doesn't love jalapenos on everything!
Tamara--I love that oatmeal bread, too. So simple and satisfying.
Anna--There was a place in the Texas Monthly list that offered a fried egg on a burger, but it's certainly not the norm.
StuffCooksWant--Is the grated cheese cold or melted? Will have to order one of those next time I'm at Hut's!
David--The Texas Hot is big in New Jersey as well. I've ranted many times about people using Texas as incorrect adjective!
Blogger BBQ Dude--True. Though I did have bacon in Canada and it was like what we call Canadian bacon.
Latter Day Flapper--Yep, that is indeed the default Whataburger! Enjoy the buns!
Tasty Eats at Home--Can't wait to see your gluten-free version!
Stephanie--My mom was big on the sauteed onions as well. Delicious!
Melissa--Well, that makes you a jalapeno cheese bun expert! I've never been there but will have to make a stop next time I'm visiting my relatives in Bryan.
Melanie--Oh, that's an interesting point. Maybe a German-Texan started the trend here. And I'm all for guacamole and bacon!
Miss Meat and Potatoes--There's a place by my mom's that serves those as well. I've got to figure out how to make them!
Kimberly--Hope you enjoy it if you make them!
Kira--Ah, the mystery deepens!
Cheri--I know, I know--I really need to get on the cookbook! And your Saturday sounds a lot like my Saturday night. My grandpa would grill hamburgers and make us watch Hee Haw. Good times!
Tallmisto--Love your addition of chili. But of course!
HoustonGurly--Thank you!
Homegrown Texan--Your mother is correct--ketchup makes it Yankee burger! And I'm a big fan of mixing the seasoning into the beef.
TKW--I know! Crazy, isn't it?
- emily said...
i always thought the fried egg on a burger is more of an asian thing.. the street vendors there always encase their burgers in egg.
- Anonymous said...
While living in NZ, about 14 years ago, there was two other types of burgers at the McDonalds (and other places).
One had beet root on it and was called a Kiwi (not kiwi fruit) burger. Turns out Kiwi's like beet-root on a lot of stuff including burgers.
The second was a burger with an egg on it... "fried-ish" egg and was attributed to Australia. This is the style that Australians (some of them anyway) like for their burgers.
I was not accustom to either type of burgers being a Texan. So it is unclear why NY would call it a Texan burger. Maybe an Aussie Burger would be more appropriate.
Thanks for another interesting blog,
Dr. Bubba
- BonneT said...
These buns sound fantastic! I agree that the default Whataburger is (at least in my mind) the "typical" Texas burger.
I recently traveled west and was excited to eat at the famed "In N Out Burger." When I bit into my burger, I was shocked.... no pickles! no mustard! what kind of burger was this? It was the blandest burger I've eaten in years!
- Alan said...
Here in Dallas there are a couple of places owned by the same people that offer a fried egg on their burger (the rest of the ingredients being the Texas standard MOPLT). They named it after a lawyer friend of their's that used to order it as an option from the Fatburger chain, found predominately in the far west, and now some in the east. Interestingly enough though, there are NO Fatburger franchises in Texas.
Growing up in Abilene, I had my first Jalapeño burger around 1970 from a mom and pop called Mr. G's and that's what I've always held in my heart as the default as to what would be a burger unique to Texas.
- Shawnda said...
Yum. We were having burgers for dinner tonight so we're giving the buns a whirl.
Add 2 slices of crispy, thick-sliced bacon to your favorite burger and you have mine!
- lisa said...
Indeed, a little jalapeno does a lot of good! This sounds like a perfect burger bun.
- Cynthia said...
Lisa, I am so making this bun soon! Gosh how I love your blog and your food, and your stories and...
- bonnie said...
Hey girl, I'm from Corpus Christi Texas, so burgers to us is Whataburger...fried egg, mmm I don't think so.. great post.
- Tatersmama said...
Here in Australia, an Aussie "hamburger with the lot", includes all the regular hamburger fixin's... plus a big ol'(nasty) slice of beet (called beet root), grilled onions and a semi-fried egg, so that the yolk dribbles down your shirt when you bite into it.
- Kimberly said...
I grew up in West Texas, and while not a frequent thing, sometimes I would have burgers with an egg on it with my grandma and granddad. Delicious! I've turned a few people on to it up here in Massachusetts. The perfect burger if you've had a drink or two too many the night before. And jalepenos make EVERYTHING better!
- Sharon M said...
Sauteed onions, roasted poblano pepper, monterrey Jack -- that's my ideal burger! These buns look fantastic. I'll have to give it a try. I know my hubby would love them!
- Lydia (The Perfect Pantry) said...
I've never had an authentic Texas burger, but when I do, it had better have jalapenos in it, on it, and all around it. I love the look of these buns, and especially that you can freeze them.
- Lara said...
Way back in the 80's, I "worked" at the Dixie Chicken (in Aggieland) and the Freddie Burger was made by Freddie the awesome cook from South America. While the patty was cooking, he would pour jalapeno juice over it then top it with the pickeled jalapenos. It was fun to watch the customer try to eat it, as much beer was consumed along with the burger. I'm not sure if Freddie or the burger are still there.
Best burger in Texas for a busy family is a Whataburger drive thru!
- Lisa (Homesick Texan) said...
Emily--Interesting--I did not know that!
Dr. Bubba--Beet root? Now that's bizarre! And Texas and Australia do have similar traits so perhaps someone just confused the two!
Alan--I think jalapeno anything would be default Texas food! We were supposed to get a Fatburger here in NY, but I don't think it ever arrived. Curious what they taste like.
Shawnda--Awesome! Hope y'all enjoy them!
Lisa--I'm with you--jalapeno does everything a little good!
Cynthia--Aw, thank you. And enjoy!
Bonnie--I'm with you--Whataburger gets it right!
Tatersmama--I'm going to petition NY restaurants to change the name to an Aussie burger.
Kimberly--See, my theory is correct--if any place in Texas should have fried eggs on the burgers it should be West Texas.
Sharon--I have to admit that I've never put roasted poblano pepper on my burger. Next time, for sure!
Lydia--Yep, jalapenos should be our state fruit.
Lara--Brilliant! I'm going to put that trick into my burger-making repertoire!
- Tommy said...
I have never understood why people put a fried egg on top a burger. Puzzling.
It's funny how regional cuisines are considered by others. I'm sure a few Hawaian natives laugh at the notion of adding pineapple to a pizza.
I know the standard for a Canadian burger is the usual back bacon and cheddar because many Americans think we sit around a campfire all day frying up our back bacon.
You would think a Texas burger would be adorned with a real Texas chili , no ?
- Grace A. said...
Back in the late 70's when I was in college in Charlottesville, the University Diner served a "one eye" bacon cheeseburger (with friend egg on top!) Delicious after a night of partying to sop up too much alcohol! Especially when finished off with the "Grillswith." Two glazed donuts heated on the grill with a scoop of ice cream on top! Good times!
- Anonymous said...
I grew up in Marfa, Texas and there isn't a burger in the state of Texas that matches what you can order from Mondo's! It consists of a soft grilled bun, a thin meat
pattie, chopped iceburg lettuce, chopped tomato, chopped onion, pickles and an amazing green chili sauce. The green chili sauce is pickled and I have never had it anywhere else. My brother swears that he can make it, but I have my doubts. I can't tell you what makes it so great, but it definitely is pretty wonderful.
I hate to tell you this, but I always ask for a fried egg on
top of my burgers which I like prepared just the way you like them. Maybe growing up with the flat inchilada???
- Anonymous said...
Thanks so much for pointing out the inexplicable weirdness of the "texas burger" with egg!! I was just as bewildered by it when I moved to NYC 13 years ago. so bizarre and unfounded... Ever since, I've pretty much told any new yorker who will listen that that is NOT a texas burger.

When I was growing up in Pecos, TX, there was Al's Drive-In. They had a Frito burger that was so good! Messy, but good! Fritos, chili, onions, cheese all on a burger! YUM!!
- czken said...
Good job of assembling an "eyeful" of a delicious burger. Yours has, and I'll presume to make it more photogenic, a red onion slice. Ours always settles for a slice of white (sweet when in season).
The only other variation we employ is buttered on both sides Texas Toast that's been grilled to golden glory.
I'll for sure be trying your new bun variation and its bread loaf counterpart.

I lived in Texas a long time and never heard of the egg... knew it for an Australia thing. I think some grilled jalapeños or some pepper jack, or the above mentioned green chili relish, or perhaps a spoonful of chili con carne - might make a good Texas burger. Here in North Carolina they call a burger with slaw and chili on it a "Carolina Classic" - it's a common hotdog treatment moved onto a burger.
Your jalapeño cheese bread is VERY intriguing! I think I will make some soon. I happen to know it would make an awesome ham sandwich, too. Think I'll try your burger first, though.
Keep up the great work!

When I think of a Texas burger I think of Jalapeno Tree Reasaurant with their con queso with Jalapenos or I think of all the different definitely homemade burgers Tookies in the El Lago/ Clear Lake Shores/Bacliff area made in the 70's and 80's and 90's including their 99 a wine marinated burger with home cut fries and the best onion rings in the world.But NEVER a fried egg on any of them.--chrisq

It cracks me up too when I see 'Texas-style burgers' on menus outside of Texas. It can mean there's barbecue sauce on the burger, bacon strips, Monterrey Jack cheese, jalapeno slices, or double meat. But truth be told, I don't even know what constitutes a 'Texas burger' in my book. Maybe just excess? Too much meat and cheese plus bacon??

I have had the mythological egg topped burger, which was introduced by my traveling little brother. Give it a try, and you might even like it. Make your normal burger, (medium to medium well patty, onion, tomato, lettuce, cheese, mustard) and add the egg (fried sunny side up or over hard) on top of everything. Make sure to toast the bun to make sure it doesn't collapse under the strain of ultimate goodness. I make them every once and a while, and have converted my wife over to my side of the opinion.

I'm from San Antonio. My parents loved what they called an enchilada burger. Hamburger with the addition of chili, cheddar cheese and onions. I guess a good thick chili burger with chili, cheese and mustard is my favorite hold the onions as I'm not a fan of them. With an egg on top, it sounds like a breakfast burger. But I've seen steak served that way in the Waffle House and other breakfast places. No self named Texan would call a burger with an egg on it a Texas burger!
- Josh said...
I've seen this egg burger you describe here in Houston. At the smash burger. It's their signature. Kind of weird if you ask me.
- Lauri said...
The Best Texas Burger is a greasy one!
- kristen said...
Looks delish! But a packet of active dry yeast is roughly 2 1/2 teaspoons: which do you mean, a packet or 1 teaspoon?
- Lisa (Homesick Texan) said...
Tommy--Texas chili would definitely be as good start!
Grace A.--I've got to have a Grillswith--oh, my!
Anon--Pickled green chili sauce? Interesting! Next time I'm in town I'll have to dissect it!
Jamey--Don't you know it! So bizarre indeed!
Esmer--I love Frito burgers!
CZKen--I like both, but yes, I used red for the photo because it's prettier.
Jumper--Now a burger with slaw is intriguing!
Chris--A wine-marinated burger? I've never heard of such a thing!
Tina--I could go with excess!
Medic--I've tried it, and it's not bad, it just doesn't say Texas to me.
Jodie--I'm all for an enchilada burger!
Josh--Interesting. Will have to check it out next time I'm home.
Kristen--I have a big bag of yeast that I keep in the freezer, so I just throw in a teaspoon and it works. Real accurate, eh? And thanks for letting me know how much was in a packet--I should know this!
- Alan said...
I had already posted on this but there is something else I do with a burger now and again that is a distinctly Texas sort of move. Instead of pickles, I'll substitute Mrs. Renfro's (based in Ft. Worth) Hot Chow Chow. I've been eating it on hot dogs, hamburgers and in pinto beans since I was a little boy. They also now have a full line of salsas that are the best ever.

Theorizing about anything being a West Texas thing is basically a catch all. It is a good bet because West Texas is at least half of Texas and to some folks two-thirds of Texas. Depends on how you define.
If you poll local people around the state then you will find many claim to be part West Texas as almost as far east as the Interstate tween Dallas and Austin. And many claim it as far north as the Panhandle.
My theory to why this is so is based on what West Texas was during the frontier and where Indian territory started and stop from settlement. And I think it has carried over after all these years.
There have been some huge debates about what defines West Texas. One wanted to define based on the 915 area code now broken up. Some say you have to be must more west for it. So on...
I feel if you think you are a West Texan then that is good enough for me. :) I am from the Angelo area and they for sure think of themselves as West Texans and their paper reflect it.
So that can make it a pretty big place. And I can believe somewhere in that area someone puts an egg on their hamburger regularly. I just have never seen it myself. :)
I love this blog. It covers so much that is Texan. A place I miss very much.
- Herbwych said...
Yep, the egg thing is definately an Oz thing. A 'works' burger here has a toasted bun, 100% beef pattie, fried onions, tomato, beetroot, lettuce, cheese, fried egg, bacon and...a pineapple ring. Usually with BBQ sauce. Not the smokey US type BBQ sauce, though. Way better. Mmm, salivating now...
- tejasjeff said...
Here in San Antonio one of the top rated places that Texas Monthly rated does the egg deal.
Its the Burger Outpost of the big chef here in town called Bigz.
Its called a dirty burger and the staff wears Tshirts exhorting you to "Do it dirty for a dollar" which is what they charge to add the egg.
First place in Texas I have ever seen ,but hey whats not to like?
I love runny ,over easy eggs and love burgers so it works for me.
That said the standard of excellence is the local version of the bean burger. Bigz and Chris Madrids both do killer versions.I cant get a decent one out of San Antonio.
- violentdayzie said...
Making these tonight! As always, your blog is the best ever. :)
P.S. I never understood the fried egg thing either.
- Laura said...
Growing up in Austin, Holiday House had the best hamburgers in town. The "old-fashioned" was their classic. Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard - NO mayo or ketchup (heaven forbid!) But the chili-cheese burger was pretty darn good too! Holiday House is no longer around, but I sure would love one of those burgers right now...
- ArmadilloPepper said...
This sounds great. I had never heard of Jalapeno Cheese bread and I love anything "peppers". Thanks.
- Nikkie's Journal said...
This may not be a Texas burger, but my burger topping preference is to season the patty with a little Worchestershire sauce and a sprinkling of Tony's seasoning, then put thick slices of cream cheese and sliced purple onions on the bun.
- Brittani said...
The jalapeño cheese buns are genius! Now you can add the flavor to the outside of the burger and not just the patty or toppings. This recipe is most definitely going on my must-try list!
By the way, I love your blog! I'm a homesick... well... New Yorker. And I feel your pain... Some places just can't get the vibe right.
- Cindy said...
I may be able to clear up a mystery as to why they called that burger a "Texas" burger. I live in Lynchburg, Va now(raised near in Keller, near Ft. Worth). Here they have a small "dive" called the Texas Inn. They are famous for a burger with a fried egg on top. Perhaps that is where the New Yorkers got it?
The Texas Inn is a long standing tradition here. I have not been there yet. Burgers and eggs are not my thing.
- Linda said...
Jim's Restaurants here in San Antonio used to have a burger with a fried egg on the menu, though that's been gone for a few years. The Texas Burger from The Cove has to be my favorite - refried beans, salsa, avocado, corn chips, and grilled onions...mmmmm
- Anonymous said...
Did anyone try this bun? how did it come out?
- Stephen said...
This was delicious! Thanks for all the recipes you post here. I had been intending to try making your recipes at some point, and this week decided to make these buns to work on my bread-making skills. I topped my hamburger with your chipotle blue cheese dressing.
- Me said...
Sesame seed bun, bacon, grilled jalepeno & onion, sharp cheddar, good fresh meat cooked on a old fashioned greasy spoon grill, diced onion, semi-sweet pickle slices and salad dressing (Most folks call this Miracle Whip, but at a good locals-only-eat-here Texan lunch cafe... it is dressing) Of course, the bun is toasted sliced side down after being liberally coated with butter. It's just plain heaven in a basket or on a paper wrapper. Don't even get me started on the fries.
- chefr3llik said...
Thanks Lisa for posting this. I used these along with a jalapeno cheddar burger as a special on Tuesday. Reviews were awesome from the customers with the exception that apparently the locals do not like heat here in Valentine,NE. So next time maybe I will "sissy it down" a little bit and just give them a cheddar burger with the buns LOL. I also blogged on it and redirected here as the original post.
Thanks again.
- Noel @ www.mywildkitchen.com said...
I served these buns with my Avocado Jackapeno Burger the other night. They are amazing. I added some photos of the process on my blog but directed readers to your site for the complete recipe for these buns. I have already had lots of positive feedback from my readers. Thanks for sharing!

SCCA: Sussex Cricket Combined Appeal Launched13-Mar-2013
The Sussex Cricket Combined Appeal 2013 was launched last Friday with 315 people in attendance for lunch at The Grand Hotel, Brighton, to help raise funds towards for two local based cricket charities, the Sussex Cricket in the Community Trust (SCCT) and the Sussex Cricket Museum and Educational Trust (SCMET).
An impressive figure of around £28,000 was raised to go towards Sussex Cricket in the Community Projects, and with the aim of making The Sutton Winson Academy Ground, Blackstone, a world-class junior cricket development facility, as well as generating money to bring exciting and interactive exhibits into the Sussex Cricket World Museum, at The BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground, Hove.
The patrons of the appeal, Michael Yardy, Jim Parks and Holly Colvin were present and spoke about their enthusiasm for the appeal this year. Geoff Miller, the National Selector for the England Cricket team, entertained the crowd as guest speaker and the MC for the event was the former Sussex batsman Neil Lenham.
The appeal is particularly pertinent in 2013, with this year being not only the 10th anniversary of Sussex's historic inaugural County Championship victory, but also the 50th Anniversary of the County winning the first ever one day competition.
Fashion designer Wayne Hemingway has designed a tie for the appeal which will be available soon. The next event in the programme takes place on Monday 6th May when there will be a Tribute Lunch held at Hove for the late Tony Greig and Christopher Martin-Jenkins.
For more information on the forthcoming events, please contact Appeal Secretary Jon Filby via firstname.lastname@example.com or for a list of the events this year please click HERE

The Harwell computer, later known as the Wolverhampton Instrument for Teaching Computing from Harwell (WITCH), or the Harwell Dekatron Computer, is an early(1949) British dekatron and relay based computer. It is currently on display at The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park, where it is described as "the oldest original functioning electronic stored program computer in the world".
The computer was built and used at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment in Harwell, Oxfordshire. Construction started in 1949, and the machine became operational in April 1951. It was handed over to the computing group in May 1952 and remained in use until 1957.
It used dekatrons for volatile memory, similar to RAM in a modern computer, and paper tape for input and program storage. Output was to either a Friden teleprinter or to a paper tape punch. The machine was decimal and initially had twenty 8-digit dekatron registers for internal storage, which was increased to 40 which appeared to be enough for nearly all calculations. It was assembled from components more commonly found in a British telephone exchange.[8] Although it could on occasions act as a true stored-program computer, that was not its normal mode of operation. It had a multiplication time of between 5 and 10 seconds, very slow for an electronic computer.
In 1957, at the end of its life at Harwell, the Oxford Mathematical Institute ran a competition to award it to the college that could produce the best case for its future use. The competition was the idea of John Hammersley, who had worked at AERE previously. The competition was won by the Wolverhampton and Staffordshire Technical College (which later became Wolverhampton University) where it was used to teach computing until 1973. The computer was renamed as the WITCH, the Wolverhampton Instrument for Teaching Computing from Harwell.
The WITCH was donated to the Museum of Science and Industry, Birmingham in 1973. After the museum closed in 1997, the computer was disassembled and stored at the Birmingham City Council Museums Collection Centre.
From September 2009, the machine was loaned to The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park, where began to be restored to working order as a Computer Conservation Society project.

ICC T20: In-form Wright hits unbeaten 99 for England21-Sep-2012
Sussex's Luke Wright hit an unbeaten 99 from only 55 balls as England romped home to victory in their ICC World Twenty20 clash with Afghanistan in Colombo.
Wright smashed 8 fours and 6 sixes in the knock which propelled defending champions England to 196 for 5 from their 20 overs against the minnows, with the innings becoming England's highest individual International T20 score on virtue of him being not out, as Alex Hales made 99 at Trent Bridge against the West Indies earlier this summer.
The Afghans were bowled out for only 80 in reply to give England a huge winning margin of 116 runs.

On August 24, 2010, Maryland was awarded one of the federal government's coveted Race to the Top grants in the amount of $250 million over four years. The RTTT program is aimed at boosting student achievement, reducing gaps in achievement among student subgroups, turning around struggling schools, and improving the teaching profession. Maryland has one of the nation's most honored systems of public education, but for our State to continue to be competitive our schools must continue to improve. President Barack Obama, in announcing the $4.35 billion Race to the Top initiative last year, said the program is based on a simple principle: "whether a state is ready to do what works." Maryland is not only ready, but willing and able to continue the progress that has been made.
MSDE worked with our local school systems and a variety of partners to put together Maryland's winning plan. We are determined to continue our State's momentum.

My Conventional Work
March 21, 2013
by Richard Kalvar
View profile
I hope you've noticed that the Magnum Store is now selling the magazine we've just published based on the work I did at the Republican and Democratic conventions in the US last year, called Conventional Photography. This is part of the Looking for America series. Faced with the dramatically declining press use of photographic essays, we're exploring new ways of showing our pictures, and of making a living with photography. Through self-publishing, we're trying reach the public directly.
Shortly after I joined Magnum in 1975, I moved back to New York and began covering the 1976 presidential campaign, along with a number of my new young colleagues. The Democratic convention was to be held in New York that year, and a group of us (Gilles Peress and I from Magnum, and two friends from the New York Times – Gary Hoenig and Steve Heller) decided to publish a facetious little newspaper with our pictures from the primaries, called Unconventional Photography, and sell it there. I wouldn't say that it was an extraordinary commercial success: let's see, about 50 copies sold at 25 cents a shot, minus the cost of the printing leaves… well, at least it was funny and fun to do, and the buyers who held on to their copy can probably cash in on their investment today for at least $5.
More than 35 years later, Gary Hoenig happens to be advising us on the self-publishing project, and last year he said to me, "Why don't you go the conventions again?". I hadn't been to one since 1980, and I thought it was a great idea. We managed to do a deal with Slate, which meant that I could get credentials, have my work seen, and pay for the expenses. And from the very beginning we thought of putting out a new version of Unconventional Photography (the title shortened to Conventional Photography to save on the cost of ink), this time with my pictures only, all shot at the conventions themselves and not during the primary season.
And so a mere six months later, here it is! Now some of you may wonder why it's come out so long after the events, and I must admit that at times I do, too. This has been a learning experience for us, and not everything has gone according to plan. For news freaks the delay might be disappointing, but for people who like photography, politics, and human relations, does it really matter? I always work for the long term anyway, and I hope that my pictures will have a life long after the news publication has been used to wrap fish (can you wrap fish with an online Slate article? Hmm, I must think about this…). I believe that I will finally be able to bask in people's appreciation of my work thirty years after my death.
Conventional Photography is a nice object, full of interesting pictures that were all obviously taken by the same photographer, which is not nothing. It's kind of funny. And it's rare, since not too many were printed. Get your copy today: only twenty bucks, including postage and handling. A steal!
And thirty years after my death, when we celebrate the fact that it's become a cult object, I'll offer the champagne.
