Cyndie Derek tried to divert attention while waiting for bone marrow extraction. Doctors want to determine whether she qualified for the transplant Blood Stem Cell, the best hope for beating neuroblastoma, cancer of childhood are rare, which was diagnosed in November 2004.

Shortly after Derek's birthday to the 11th and Cyndie to 40, accompanied by his brother Derek Micah Moffe, 17, left, and mother Cyndie, right, Derek get a tattoo in preparation for radiation therapy on November 30, 2005. Derek Micah often accompany the treatment despite a busy school.

Derek crying after arguing with Cyndie at UC Davis Cancer Center on May 14, 2006. He and Dr. William Hall argues that Derek should have a series of radiation treatments to shrink the tumors spread throughout the body and ease the pain. "Derek, you probably would not survive if you do not do this," Cyndie said to his son. Derek shouted: "I do not care! Take me home. I've done, Mom. Did you hear me? I've done. "

After putting flowers on the side of her head, Cyndie sobbing fell to the floor on April 25, his best friend, Kelly Whysong, left, and another friend, Nick Rocha, comfort her. Derek was too weak to recognize the presence of her mother.

Derek has a final energy after days Cyndie guard at his bedside. He helped her with pain to walk on April 26. A Derek stomach cancer tumors grow so fast that his pants do not fit anymore. Other tumors in the brain interfere with his vision to make the difficulty of navigating their rented home.

Derek kissed her mother in the Relay for Life Benefit, along with his sister, who was 6 years old, Brianna. Cyndie recruit many volunteers for the event. Before the race, Cyndie speaks to the audience how he was proud of his son's courage during the fight against cancer.
In an effort to bring Derek out, Cyndie pushed through the front door through the pictures and cards given to her by her classmates at Bridgeway Island Elementary School. "Just like a newborn baby, he needs to get out and breathe fresh air," he said. That was the last trip outside the house.

Emotional cry against Cyndie on May 10, when he was preparing to drain the catheter with saline solution Derek before the nurse Sue Kirkpatrick [left] to give a sedative that will give Derek a peaceful death. "I know in my heart, I've done everything I can," Cyndie says.

Derek with Cyndie rock song, "Because We Believe," which in turn on the CD. He whispered singing along with Andrea Bocelli. "Once in every life, There was a time, we walked out alone, And into the light ..." From left, family friends Ashley Berger, Amy Morgan and Kelly Whysong calm Cyndie was said to Derek, "It's okay, honey . I love you, my child. I love you, my brave. I love you. I love you.

Ever heard the Friendster social networking site? It is said that through the site, many people who never met a long time, could get back together, reunian, and even soul mates. Therefore, friendship site that some time ago had very popular. Therefore, do not be surprised if after a successful era of Friendster, the social networking sites popping up. One of them is Facebook.
Facebook was actually created as a social networking site limited to college among the creators, ie, Mark Zuckerberg. Harvard University students are, at the time, trying to make a program that can connect my friends one campus. For this reason, the name of the site was initiated by Mark Facebook. This name he took from the book Facebook, which is a book that usually contains a list of community members in a single campus. In a number of colleges and Preparatory schools in the United States, this book is given to students or new faculty staff in order to get to know other people on campus concerned.
In about the year 2004, Mark who was tinkering with a hobby website creation program able to write original code for Facebook from his dorm room. To make this site, it only takes about two per week. The man was born in May 1984 and then announced its Web site and attract colleagues to join. Only in a relatively short period-about two weeks, Facebook has been able to capture two-thirds more Harvard students as a permanent member.
Facebook can be found a strong magnet to attract more people to join, he decided to follow in the footsteps senior-Bill Gates-chose to drop out for that menyeriusi site. Together with three colleagues-andre McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes, Mark then Facebook opened membership to the public.
Mark was not just desperate. He had many reasons to prefer serious on Facebook. Mark and his colleagues managed to make Facebook a social networking site which immediately soared name, Friendster trend is also developing at that time. However, in order to have more value, Mark was processed Facebook with additional features. And, like extra feature that makes Facebook more and more mainstream. Imagine, 9373 There are applications that are divided into 22 categories that can be used to animate Facebook page, start a chat, games, instant messaging, to political affairs and various other things. Remarkably again, the nature of the membership of this site is very open. Thus, the data are made each person more clearly than any other friendship sites. This is what makes people more comfortable with Facebook to find friends, both those already known or to find new acquaintances in different parts of the world.
Since 2004 the emergence of Facebook year ago, members continue to thrive. Percentage increase is more than seniors, Friendster. The site had recorded 60 million people visited, and even dared to target Mark Zuckerberg in 2008, the figure will reach 200 million members.
With various advantages and the amount outstanding enthusiasts, Facebook has become 'commodities' that are sold. No wonder, the software giant soft MICR * was interested ask for her hand. And, supposedly, to have only a 1.6 percent stake it, MICR * soft needs to raise no less than U.S. $ 240 million. This means that the value of Facebook stock capitalization can be reached U.S. $ 15 billion! No wonder, Mark later crowned as the youngest billionaire in the history of the start of his own.
Mark Zuckerberg intention to sekadar'menyatukan 'campus community in a network was a big impact. This has led men 23-year-old became the youngest billionaire in history. Indeed, carefulness saw an opportunity and good intentions can actually be combined into a value added incredible. This becomes an example for us, that good intentions plus a struggle and perseverance in working opportunity will bear the opportunity that can change lives more meaningful.

William Henry Gates III or better known as Bill Gates, born in Seattle, Washington on October 28, 1955. Bill's father, Bill Gates Jr.., Worked at a law firm as a lawyer and his mother, Mary, is a former teacher. Bill was the second of three brothers. Since childhood he had a hobby "hiking", even today these activities are still too often did when he was "thinking".
Small bill can easily get through the primary school with a very satisfactory value, especially in science and mathematics lessons. Knowing this parents Bill, then menyekolahkannya at a famous private school with good academic guidance, called "Lakeside". At that time, Lakeside had just bought a computer, and within a week, Bill Gates, Paul Allen and several other students (the majority of programmers will be the first MICR * soft) has spent all hours of computer classes for one year.
Bill Gates computer capabilities have been approved since he was still in school at Lakeside. Starting with his "hack" the school computers, changing schedules, and placement of students. In 1968, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and two other hackers hired by the Computer Center Corporation. to be a tester security system company. In return, they are given the freedom to use the company computer. According to the Bill when it is they really can "enter" computer. And this is where they begin to develop the ability to formation of MICR * soft, 7 years later.
The next Bill Gates the ability honed. Making the payment system program for Information Science Inc., is the first business. Then with Paul Ellen founded their first company called Traf-O-Data. They make a small computer that can measure the flow of traffic. Working as a debugger in kontrkator defense company TRW, and as a responsible computerization of school schedule, complements Bill Gates experiences.
In fall 1973, Bill Gates went to Harvard University and is registered as a law school student. He could very well attended, but just like when in high school, his attention soon turned to the computer. While at Harvard, his relationship with Allen remained close. Bill was known as a genius at Harvard. Even one of his teachers told him that Bill is a great programmer genius, but a man who sucks.
December 1974, when about to visit Bill Gates, Paul Allen read Popular Electronics magazine article with the title "World's First Microcomputer Kit to Rival Commercial Models". This article contains the first microcomputer Altair 9090. Allen then discussed with Bill Gates. They realize that the era of "home computer" will be coming soon and explode, making the presence of software for the computer - the computer is required. And this is a great opportunity for them.
Then in a few days, contact the manufacturer Gates Altair, MITS (Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems). He said that he and Allen, has made a BASIC that can be used on the Altair. Of course, this is a lie. Even they did not write one single line of code. MITS, who did not know this, very interested in BASIC. Within 8 weeks of BASIC have been prepared. Allen headed to present MITS BASIC. And although, this is the first time for Allen in operating the Altair, was BASIC can work perfectly. A year later, Bill Gates left Harvard and founded the MICR * soft.

The story of Bill Gates Harvard Leaving For Chasing Dreams
When he was bored with Harvard, Gates applying for jobs related to computers in the Boston area. Gates, Paul Allen encouraged to try to apply as the program in Honey-well so that they can continue their dream to establish a software company.
On a December day in the freezing, Paul Allen saw the front cover of Popular Mechanics magazine, published in January 1975, the micro computer image of a revolutionary new assembly MITS Altair 8080 (small computer has become the embryo of a PC at a later date). Then meet with Gates and Allen persuaded him that they must develop a language for that simple little machine. Allen continued to say, Let us build a company. Let's do it.
We realize that the revolution can happen without us. After we read the article, no doubt about where we will focus our lives.
The two friends rushed to a computer at Harvard to write an adaptation of the BASIC language programs. Gates and Allen believes that the small computer that can do wonders. From there they also have a dream, the availability of a computer on every desk and in every household.
The spirit of Allen and Gates is not in vain. Starting from a small computer that is the fashion of all kinds komputansi. And now you can see that the PC has truly become the information age. And almost everyone knows Bill Gates as the richest man in the world today.

after selling its shares, Jobs undergoing tremendous sadness spend more time with cycling, and travel to Europe. but, not long after that, the dismissal was apparently just brought a new spirit for him. he was starting a new business is a computer company, NeXT and Pixar animation company. NeXT is actually very advanced in its technology did not bring good results commercially. however, Pixar is a another success story thanks to the cold hands. by Pixar, Jobs brought a new trend in the world of animated film along with the release of the film production and the next Toy Story Finding Nemo and The Incredibles.
Jobs after the death and the strong dominance of IBM and MICR * soft make Apple unable to compete and nearly sank. then, in 1997, Jobs was summoned back to fill the temporary leadership positions. to apply the technology designed at NeXT, this time Apple back up with a variety of technologically advanced products like MacOS X, IMac and a phenomenal one is the iPod.
Steve Jobs success story teaches us that there is no instant success. rejection and failure are often colored our life journey, but do not let all that makes us stop.

As the largest sea turtle, the deepest divers, with the widest distribution of habitats, star fruit turtle to survive.
By Tim Appenzeller

One day in late summer 1961, a biologist named Sherman Bleakney received a phone call informing him about a strange sea creature that had just descended on the pier fishing Halifax, Nova Scotia. Bleakney who lived not far from the location stunned by what he encounters there. A giant black turtle weighing 400 pounds was lying sprawled in the middle of the curious crowd. Karapaks turtle has a smooth and supple, the front fins like wings, and head size which looks like a cone-shaped shells.
Bleakney recognize the creature as star fruit turtle, the largest species of all types of sea turtles. Recall Bleakney, star fruit turtle should be a tropical creature, and its presence in the gray waters of the cold Canada, as strange as seeing a parrot in a park in Halifax.
However, when Bleakney started asking people around, he discovered that the fishermen are quite common to see turtles, star fruit turtle swimming off the coast of Canada so that it can be considered as a "turtle season" in late summer. The conclusion from this undeniable, as is written Bleakney in 1965. "There is evidence that the annual invasion of the waters of our Atlantic coast by the cold sea turtle from the tropics." The origins of these animals are from the south was clear from the number of dead turtles that he was thorough. Carcasses one brings tropical mangrove tree embedded in his eyes; others carrying barnacles from warm waters. However, star fruit turtle can survive, even grow at temperatures that can kill other types of turtles. Odder still is what he found in their bodies: the giants of the reptile's stomach, sea reptiles chew contains a jellyfish in significant amounts, including stinging tentacles, and the animals throat is covered by rows of thorns size of seven inches that leads inside to hold the slippery prey.
Bleakney and then undergo another study, he had a special interest to sea slugs, but he never stopped admiring the giant creatures who met in Nova Scotia fishing pier. "It was unexpected," recalled Bleakney in an interview with the Canadian environmental conservationists recently. "There is sized reptiles that live in water ice and could grow by eating a jellyfish." Nearly 50 years later, scientists were surprised-shocked by the physical capabilities of a special turtle starfruit, even admiration tinged today tend to the more modern sentiment: concern that before we are able to understand the turtle and the epic story of life, our activities may have prompted their extinction.
In the last 25 years, researchers counted the number of star fruit turtle crawling to lay eggs on the beaches of tropical and subtropical climates, has cautioned us as starfruit melorotnya number of turtles: from tens or even hundreds of thousands on the Pacific coast of Mexico and Central America to become just Just a few hundred now; from several thousand down to just a handful in Malaysia. International Union for the Conservation of Nature has been registered with the star fruit turtle endangered status (Critically endangered) and mentions various factors that kill the animals was made poignantly: entangled and drowned by fishing equipment, is choking on plastic bags away, hit the ship, slaughtered for meat, or had become her fate even before the turtle-turtle was hatched when the nest-egg nests dismantled and sold as food or as a powerful medicine man. Star fruit turtle lineage stretching up to 100 million years ago, "star fruit turtle was at the beach when the top predators T.rex to be," said Scott Eckert of the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network at Duke University. Now, in some areas, his lineage has reached the last point.
But spend time with researchers such as Eckert and you'll start to see marine turtles as survivors, a creature that will survive. The starfruit able to dive as deep as more than a mile, swim across the ocean, and made her stay warm in the water is almost frozen. Star fruit turtle survive on feed that can only be digested by a handful of other creatures. The most important addition is the star fruit turtle allow various options open. Turtle, sea turtles tend to be loyal to another beach where the nesting and dining area and a search was made of turtle-turtle is very vulnerable along with the increasing human pressure. Unlike his colleague's colleagues, the starfruit can be more opportunistic, exploiting the conditions favorable, unspoiled beaches to serve as nesting sites, breeding sites jellyfish solid-if the starfruit found. "This type of turtle treats all parts of the ocean as their private pool," said Jeanette Wyneken, a biologist at Florida Atlantic University. The result is, in some regions, star fruit turtle population was growing .. it

"The experience of a hunting dog lover named Amadeo Bilo with Dogo dog named Argentinonya Day de Travelin Å“DayĂ¢ € Ă¢ € forest area of Rio Negro, Argentina" in 1966.
This is a true story that happened a long time in the country of Argentina in 1966. But I feel this needs to be disclosed to the public the truth and lovers of hounds that have Dogo privileges / advantages in hunting instinct and ability to wild animals, and may become a thing that can be appreciated for other dog lovers.
Thanks to the Dogoman (true lovers Purebred dogs Dogo) and the activists who helped hunters in documenting this story.
There was a dog lover who is well known from the state of Argentina, named Amadeo Bilo. He is a man who no doubt his experience as the greatest hunter of wild Warthog large (Big-Wildboar), and Tiger Puma (Puma Boar & Hunter) and other wild animals are also known throughout the period. He is still alive today and 85 years old.
When in the 1960s, many hunters from the American group came to Argentina to see first hand how to hunt wild boar with a Dogo Argentino dog that characterizes the country. This group set as the Group of Journalism Jack Parry's Field, and Stream magazine company also Firearms Corporation. Bilo chose this group to participate in the "Hunting Trip" (the hunt) in the forest area Rio Negro, a 1500 mile distance from Buenos Aires.
Hunting is an ancient sport activities favored by the nobles and the people of the countries England, Germany and most countries in Europe and America, there are many types of hunting here, among others, hunting with rifles or with a trap, but the most favored by the nobleman was hunting with a hunting-type dog (Hound-type). There are many types of hunting dogs, such as Indonesia Pointer, Germany Pointer, Bloodhound, Black & Tan Coonhound, Plotter Hound, Retriever, Weimarener, etc., of each country. But as I've explained in earlier articles in 1920 that has created a Purebred beagle whose capacity can not be matched by any type of hunting dog in the world, by Norez Martinez Dr.Antonio named: Dogo Argentino El appropriate name origins country: Argentina. Some professional hunters from Argentina to train specifically for dogs 1 can Dogo Argentinonya capture and paralyze a Tiger Puma (mountain lion) with 40kg weight, in just 20 minutes by way single handedly. Meanwhile, Kazakhstan regions (Eastern Europe), Dogo Argentino type is used to paralyze a Black Bear. While Argentina own area, this type of function to eradicate pests Warthog, two Dogo can track, and catch a wild fish Warthog weighing 220 pounds (100kg). This is an unusual ability (standard) is done by the farmers who have dogs Dogo Argentino.
They assume hunting activities as activities to help the farmers & planters in the face of wild boar pests that damage the plantation and to maintain the level of wild animal populations in the wild. Wild animals is often a threat to wild boar population is damaging the gardens and the tiger that ate Puma sheep or beef cattle owned by residents.
Ketka late morning, Amadeo Bilo prepare Dogo dogs that formed in his 1st Team consisting of 4 dogs Dogo. And one of his Dogo named: Day de Travelin (abbreviated: "Day"). The hunt begins in the morning, with preparations: some horses, dogs Dogo, weapons, food and medicines. Bilo usual strategy for the dog that is: 2 tails was ahead Dogo to find wild boar tracks and open roads, while the other 2 running behind the rope guiding as a supporter of force if necessary. Dogo is a very strong smell, they were seen walking fast and occasionally sniff / smell prey animals. As Bilo, Dogo dogs it has a keen sense of smell so do not need to close the distance nose to the ground, and the dogs will always find a trace, without making a noise (barking) when the quarry has not been found.
Bilo followed behind with his dog riding and carrying a knife just in case. Meanwhile, a group of Americans followed behind with a horse and a dog Scenthound type. Bilo galloped quickly so you can see what kind and how much animal prey captured by his dog Dogo. The group that runs behind the American can not pursue it quickly, because the forest terrain is very difficult to be done, a lot of bushes and thorny plants, so they are left far behind and just rely on the dogs that lead to trace 2 Bilo and his dogs Dogo. In terms of heath through the woods, there is an excess Dogo here, which is even shorter but Dogo hairy Dogo has bushy hair / thick, and consists of 2 layers of fur, feathers and fur on the outside. Outer feathers serves to restrain / prevent plant thorns into the skin, while the feathers inside to keep air / cold weather at the time hunting in the forest.
Shortly thereafter, on top of a hill, suddenly a second straight Bilo see his tail was Dogo fight to capture and control of a Big-Wildboar (big boar). Dogo one has managed to bite the pig's ear (Lock jaw on ear), and the other still trying. Bilo said: Whoa boar great!, And the biggest he had ever encountered during the hunt. The boar weighing more than 600 pounds or about 300kg with about 2.5 m long!
For fear of seeing a boar for the bear, the horse that threw the body Bilo Bilo ride down the ground, his horse ran away and was thrown upwards Bilo poor grass and lost the knife fell. At the time of his second Dogo has successfully locked the boar in the head. Time has moved on but no help came, and Bilo think if he did not do something, then he will lose his dog: "Day de Travelin '. So that with no weapons, he crawled towards the boar, and tried to tie his ankles behind the boar. But unfortunately these pig legs very strong and big that Bilo not afford to tie it.
Then she waited, but the battle between the wild boar with 2 of his tail has not stopped Dogo, Bilo hoping for help from his friends to come, he heard the faint sound of horses headed towards it. Immediately he saw the Beast (the big boar) began to break away from the bite of Dogo, Dogo a badly injured because his attack was a boar tusks and can no longer fully control the wild boar they catch, then slowly turned wild pigs laterally and close to the face Bilo. You can imagine how to meet face to face with a distance of 1 meter between the Beast (Big-Wildboar) 600-pound male with a Bilo on the grass. Wild boar is ready to kill Bilo with four 15cm long fangs. Bilo felt at that time his life was nearing death. She felt the terror that was so scary, and no one is helping.
Suddenly, when the boar was trying to attack Bilo, Bilo Amadeo saw a white shadow flew over him with a pig of the forest, then he saw a dog fight from "Day de Travelin ', which risked sacrificing her life for his master by attacking the head the boar. One of his tail Dogo already mortally wounded can not help Day, Dogo tail while the other 2 are still falling behind with the other hunters. Thus Day, must fend for themselves to save his master.
Bilo seen so much blood on the grass, but he survived because of the attack escaped beast. Bilo see how a fight to defend his Master Dogo with courage, strength and unyielding nature to defend his Master.
Then the group rode from his friends to arrive and finally they shot and killed the boar. Amadeo Bilo clean your face, and saw his dog Dogo: Day de Travelin lay down and over the grass after the fight to save his master, the dog pulled his own, trying to walk toward his Master. Bilo saw the dog was seriously injured, a broken artery vessels affected boar's tusk. He rubbed, stroked the dog, Bilo trying to save his dog, but he realized that nothing can be done to help the dog, and he knew that the dog will soon meet death.
Some people from that group took the camera to take pictures of the event to be documented. But Bilo asked his friends so he could be alone with his dog without other people, at the last moment with his dog. Day (dog) licking Bilo hands and head placed over his lap legs Bilo, Day and kissed his master's hand as if he tried to say "say good bye" (bye) on the master. And after that Day, Dogo dog had died.
Amadeo said, in fact he loved her dog, she and her children had long lived with the dogs, playing, exercising and having fun with his dog. He explained to the group of hunters that during this Day, it Dogo dog weighing 45kg has the ability to capture and control a wild boar weighing 100kg, or a mountain lion weighing 50kg, but he never thought that it was Big-Wildboar (wild boar ) with a weight of more than 600 pounds, this is certainly a game that is not balanced. And finally he said: "The Boar Damn!" , Damned are all the Boars in the World! (he hates wild boar). After that he was no longer wish to hunt wild boar with his dog.
All he did was take care of the dog seriously and together with his friends participated Bilo Amadeo preserve the breed is a hunter and guard throughout the mainland United States, and introduced on the advantages, skill and loyalty of this dog to dog lovers throughout the world sport.
As expressions of Bilo and Dogo lovers that this breed is actually very familiar properties (nature friendly) high regard for small children and loving family, reliable, have good stable temperament, high intelligence, easily trained and very easy maintenance . But only a few people who know more about the advantages of this type of dog than other types. They're more than just human or pet a police dog or a dog show, but they can be trusted guards and reliable.
Now many Dogo Argentino breed has been maintained in The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Russia, and America. They made the choice and the family dog guards exclusive, with a gentle personality of the children, but ready to defend his family from the criminals or wild animals.

Bab 4.McDonald's® Famous French Fries
Special Tools
Deep fryer
French Fry Cutter
(or patience for cutting potatoes)
Ingredients:
2 large Idaho russett potatoes
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons corn syrup
1½-2 cups hot water
6 cups Crisco® shortening
1/4 cup beef lard (or save the fat from previously cooked burgers)
salt
Preparing your french fries
Peel the potatoes. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, and hot water. Make sure the sugar is dissolved. Using a french fry slicer, cut the peeled
potatoes into shoestrings. The potatoes should be 1/4" x 1/4" in thickness, and about 4" to 6" long. (You can do this with a knife, but it is alot of work)
Place the shoestringed potatoes into the bowl of sugar-water, and refrigerate. Let them soak about 30 minutes.
While they're soaking, pack the shortening into the deep fryer. Crank up the temperature to "full". The shortening has to pre-heat for a very long time. It will
eventually liquify. After it has liquified and is at least 375°, drain the potatoes and dump them into the fryer. (be careful, it will be ferocious)
After 1 to 1½ minutes, remove the potatoes and place them on a paper towel lined plate. Let them cool 8 to 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
While they're cooling, add the lard or beef drippings to the hot Crisco®. Again, crank the temperature to full. Stir in the lard as it melts into the oil. It will blend in.
After the deep fryer is reheated to 375°-400°, add the potatoes and deep fry again. This time for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove and place in a large bowl.
Sprinkle generously with salt, then "toss" the fries to mix the salt evenly. ( I suggest about 1 teaspoon of salt, maybe slightly more)
Serve hot, serve immediately, and enjoy! Depending upon the size of the potatoes, this recipe make about 2 medium sized fries.
Special Notes
Note¹***** If you want more fries, double the recipe---but DON'T double the cooking oil. Just cook them in shifts, adding about 1/4 cup more Crisco® and 1
tablespoon lard for the second batch.

Bab 6.Quarter Pounder INGREDIENTS:
INGREDIENTS:
1 -Topp's 1/4 lb frozen beef patty
1 -sesame seed bun
1 -Tablespoon fresh onion...diced
mustard, ketchup
2 -HEINZ hamburger slices (pickles)
2 -slices real American cheese (optional)
McDonald's Hamburger Seasoning
BEEF PATTY ALTERNATIVE: If you can't find Topps™ 1/4 pound patties, use one pound ground chuck, divide into 4 equal pieces, and form the patties about 5" diameter and 1/4"
thick. Do this on wax paper, and freeze until needed.
Cooking your Quarter Pounder™
Pre-heat an electric grill to 400 degrees. (If cooking more than one...also pre-heat an electric grill for toasting the sesame seed buns)Lay the beef frozen patty on the grill, and after about
20 seconds, "sear" it. Sear a little harder and a little longer than with regular hamburgers.You should apply heavy pressure for 6-8 seconds. Sprinkle liberally with McD's Hamburger
Seasoning.(see regular burgers to make that) About 2½-3 minutes after searing, turn. Be careful not to tear the sear you just created. Add another dash Seasoning. Lay the crown of the
bun facedown on an unused, clean portion of the grill. It will toast very quickly, so move it around in a circular motion to prevent burning. After about 30 seconds the bun will be toasted
enough. Remove to dress, and lay the heel facedown to the same spot on the grill. (If cooking more than one, follow the bun toasting instructions for the regular hamburger.)
DRESSING THE BUN: Put five "kisses" of mustard around the toasted crown about 1/2 inch from the edge, equally spaced. Then put five squirts of ketchup in the pattern of a five on
dice and the size of a nickle on the toasted bun. (Make the center one the size of a quarter.) Add about a tablespoon of freshly chopped white onion, and the two pickle slices, evenly
spaced.
If you're making a Quarter-Pounder with Cheese™, lay one slice of real American cheese on top of the condiments.Most cheese slices are slightly too big, so cut or tear off about 1/4
inch, making a slight rectangle.
By now...your meat should be done. (about 2½-3 more minutes after turning) Smash the beef patty with the spatula to "squeeze" out excess fat, then remove. Smash it again between the
spatula and your free hand to addtionally drain the fat. Lay it on top of your dressed crown and add the toasted heel. (If you're making a Quarter-Pounder with Cheese™, lay another slice
of real American cheese on top of the patty before adding the heel. Position the corners off alignment with the other cheese slice)
Wrap it in a pre-cut 12x12 sheet of waxed paper and either microwave it for 15 seconds, or allow it to be "warmed" in your pre-heated (lowest setting) oven for 8-10 minutes. (or use the
alternate "Q-ing" method) ENJOY!!!

2 -tablespoons Big Mac sauce
2 -teaspoons reconstituted onions
1 -slice real American cheese
2 -hamburger pickle slices
1/4 Cup -shredded iceberg lettuce
COOKING:
Discard the crown half of the regular bun, retaining the heel. The cooking method for the Big Mac™ is basically the same as the regular burgers, only the bun toasting method is slightly
different. In the Big Mac's case you toast the bottom (heel) first. Do this along with the extra heel. (this will be your middle bun.)
Cook the two-all-beef-patties just like the regular burgers. After the bun parts are toasted, put 1 tablespoon of "Mac sauce" on each of the heels.(toasted side.) Then add 1/8 cup
shredded lettuce to each.On the true bottom bun, place one thin slice of American cheese on top of the lettuce. On the extra "heel", the middle bun, place two pickle slices on top of the
lettuce. Toast the "crown" (top) of the bun also. When the meat patties are done, place them one at a time on both prepared buns. Stack the middle bun on top of the bottom bun, and put
the crown on top.
For proper "aging", or "Q-ing", ...wrap the finished Big Mac® in a 12"x18" sheet of waxed paper as follows:
1...Center the burger, right side up, on the waxed paper. Fold the "long" ends of the paper up over the top. (It will resemble a tube with the burger in the center.)
2...Fold the two remaining ends underneath. Wrap snug, but don't squish it like the regular burgers.
3...Let sit 5-8 minutes, allowing the flavors to "meld".
4...Microwave, still wrapped, 15 seconds on high.
....Enjoy an AWESOME Big Mac® Sandwich!

Bab 10.THE REGULAR HAMBURGER
The McDonald's regular hamburger is the one that got it all started in 1948. It's as basic as can be...yet the ones they serve today don't even taste CLOSE! Make em exactly as I
instruct, and you can enjoy that long-lost flavor once again.
(In the mid 80's, McDonald's began cooking both sides of the meat at the same time, This was to cut cooking time in half. But it also forever changed the flavor of the orginal
hamburgers---ALL of them!)
Ray Kroc discovered the McDonald brother's San Bernardino, Cal. restaurant in 1954 while selling mutli-mixers. (shake machines) He was so
impressed with their methods, he struck up a franchise deal, and in 1955 opened his first store in De Plaines Illinois. Oh, and he went on to earn
multi-millions.
(FYI.... In 1952, two years BEFORE Ray Kroc stumbled upon McDonald's, Burger King's founder Keith Cramer got his idea for a burger "joint"
after visiting with the legendary McDonald bros.) For a more detailed history, visit the McDonald's® Story page.
"Ten Regs please"..."Ten Regs, thankyou"
(An old production call for ten burgers)
McDonalds regular Hamburger ingedients:
1 -Pound ground chuck (80% lean)
10 -Small hamburger buns
10 -Hamburger dill slices
10 -teaspoons dried, chopped onion
McDonald's Hamburger Seasoning
Mustard, Ketchup ....and ..... waxed paper
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Hamburger Seasoning:
4 Tablespoons salt
2 Tablespoons Accent (msg)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Mix all ingredients well in a spice shaker with big
enough holes to allow pepper to flow. Makes about 3 ounces. Use on ALL McDonald's hamburgers. (unless you're allergic to msg, then just use
salt and pepper.)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Beef Patties:
Divide 1 lb of beef into 10 equal sized balls. Form a patty out of each ball about 4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Do this on waxed paper.
Now freeze the patties for at least an hour. (this keeps them from falling apart when you grill 'em)
Obviously you'll do this in advance of "burger time". It is pretty tough to make patties this small, so if you come up with 9 patties, I'll forgive you.
For PERFECT McDonald's Hamburger Patties click [ HERE! ]
The Onions:
Put the dried onions in a container, oh..like Tupperware...and add water. Water should be a few inches over the top of the onions. (better to have too
much water than not enough) Cover, and refrigerate about 1/2 hour. Drain the liquid, and BAM...you have McDonald's little baby onions.
Cover again and refrigerate until 'burger time".
The Pickles:
McDonald's® pickle slices are unique in flavor, very sour dills. The only product I know of that comes close to the distinctive flavor is HEINZ
Genuine Dills. (original sour dill.) But they don't come in slices, so slice your own VERY thin. I can't do it very well with a knife, so I use a K-tel
"dial-a-slice" home vegetable slicer. ALSO....Vlasic "original" dills have that tart flavor. Make sure they're not "kosher" dills. Wal-Mart®
carries Vlasic ORIGINAL dills, and you have to slice those too. (****note, these pickles are pretty small, so slice at an angle....you'll get bigger dill
chips.) USE THESE PICKLES ON ALL McDONALD'S® HAMBURGERS!
The Buns:
Use the small, plain cheapo store brand hamburger buns. You know, they come 8 or 12 in a pack. Usually about 59 to 69 cents for a pack of 8.
(You'll want to separate the tops, or "crowns" from the bottoms, or "heels"...as most likely they'll be connected slightly on one edge.) When it's
"burger time", you'll be toasting the buns. Those instructions are coming up.
WalMart® sells a great product for regular buns---Great Value™ brand "jumbo" hamburger buns. They're almost exactly like McDonald's® buns
and a little bigger than the other hamburger buns available at your supermarket.
ONE MORE THING: Before you cook these marvelous hamburgers, pre-cut 10 12"x12" sheets of waxed paper. You'll need them to wrap the
burgers.
Cooking
your
Hamburgers!
Pre-heat your oven to warm..its lowest level, this is for later.You're going to need two electric griddles . One to grill the meat, the other to toast the
buns. Pre-heat the meat griddle to 375-400°, and the bun griddle to about 350°.
(this recipe has you cooking four at a time)
***note***before starting, make sure to have all of your condiments READY! (because this all happens very fast)
#1 -Toast the crowns of 4 buns (tops) Do this by laying them face down on the griddle closely together. Put a dutch oven (pot) bottom side down directly
on top of the buns.(open side facing up) This is only to apply hands-free pressure to the buns so they will toast evenly. (Don't use anything TOO heavy
like cast iron. You'll smash the buns.)
#2 -Lay the frozen patties on the other grill. After about 20 seconds, "sear" them by applying even pressure with the back of a metal spatula, and
pushing down on the front with your free hand. (careful not to burn your fingers.) Do this only for about 2 seconds...you should hear them sizzle louder
while you "sear" them. After searing them, sprinkle generously with McDonald's burger seasoning.
#3 -At this point, your buns are nearly done. They will have an even tan color when finished. Remove them, and repeat the the "bun toasting" process
with the heels. (bottoms)
#4 -After about one minute since searing the patties, turn them over. Careful, don't tear the side you seared. Add another dash of Seasoning and about a
teaspoon of your prepared onions. (Don't be anal and use a measuring spoon...no time...just two fingers and a thumb full.)
#5 -Now quickly dress your buns. (crown, or top side) Mustard first....five "kisses" the diameter of a pencil evenly spaced in a circle about a half inch
from the edge.
Then the Ketchup, (use Hunt's if you can) five squirts the size of a nickle..in the pattern found on dice. Place the pickle in the middle.
#6 -By the time you finish that, the meat will be done. (about 1 minute or 1:10 after turning) Remove the meat and tilt to the side to allow excess fat to
drain off. Use your free hand to hold down the onions. Place patties onion side up on the dressed crown, top with toasted heels. (the burger will be
upside-down)
#7 -Lay one finished hamburger, still upside-down, in the center of your pre-cut waxed paper. Wrap the paper around the burger tightly. It should
resemble a very oblong tube with two open ends, and the burger in the middle. Then wrap the open ends underneath the bottom of the burger so it is
enclosed tightly.
#8 -Place wrapped hamburger in your pre-heated oven. (remember...oven is just barely on warm) Keep 'em in there about 8-10 minutes.**** Hey!
That's enough time to cook another batch. (if you do cook another batch while these are "aging properly", scrape the black stuff and burnt onions to
the side before beginning.)
****PLEASE NOTE! Some ovens get too hot even on low, and this may dry out your burger. If they seem dry, next time wrap them tightly and let them
sit about 5 minutes. Then ZAP 'em for 15 seconds (one at a time) in the microwave. This will complete the "Q-ing" process without over microwaving
them like they do now. In fact, they almost taste better this way.
#9 -ENJOY!! This is how they used to be. This is how they were MEANT to be.
(You might consider toasting your buns first, at least the crowns, to give you extra time to dress them.)

Bab 11.McDonald's McRib™ Sandwich
Ingredients:
1 JTM Brand "Grillin' Ribs" pork patty
1 6 inch long sandwich bun
2 Tablespoons McDonald's Barbecue sauce (see recipe under McNuggets®)
1 Tablespoon chopped white onion
3 sour dill pickle slices
Note** J-T-M™ is the only brand of these pressed and formed pork patties that I've seen. They are shaped like a rack of ribs, just like at McDonald's®. I get
them at Wal-Mart. Look for them in the frozen meat section, near the pre-formed hamburger patties.
Cooking Your McRib®
1. Preheat your griddle to 400°. Cook the pork patty just like a quarter pound beef patty. (consult the package directions for cooking times and other cooking
options)
2. Toast the faces of both halves of the bun, using the bun toasting method described throughout this site.
3. On the toasted crown (top) half, apply the ready mixed barbecue sauce and follow that with the dill pickle slices, spread out evenly.
4. Put the cooked "rib" patty on next, then add the onions, followed by the heel. (bottom)
5. Wrap this masterpiece in a 12x16 sheet of waxed paper, let sit 5 minutes, then microwave on high about 15 seconds, still wrapped.
6. Enjoy a wonderful McRib® Sandwich!
Important Notes:
This is how we did it "back then". However, back then we also just used Bullseye® brand barbecue sauce. (original flavor) You might consider this option.
Also---this having never been an "official" McDonald's® sandwich, different franchise operators may have prepared it a little differently. Like putting the onions on
the crown side, or not putting pickles on it. Maybe they put sauce on both sides....etc...etc...Just customize it to the way YOU remember it.

Bab 12.Top Secret Recipes version of McDonald's Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce by Todd Wilbur
This is a clone of one of the sauces that you can get with your order of McNuggets at the world's largest hamburger outlet. Now, instead of hoarding those little green packs from the fast food chain, you can make up a batch of your own to use as a dip for store-bought nuggets, chicken fingers, fried shrimp, tempura or as a sauce for a sweet and sour dish that includes pineapple, bell pepper, onion, and sautéed chicken or pork. It's a simple recipe that requires a food processor or a blender, and the sauce will keep well for some time in the fridge.
1/4 cup peach preserves
1/4 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
5 teaspoons white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons corn starch
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons water
1. Combine all ingredients except the water in a food processor or a blender and puree until the mixture is smooth.
2. Pour mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add water, stir, and bring mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for five minutes, stirring often. When the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool. Store sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Makes about 3/4 cup.

1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon crushed chicken bullion cube
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

==========================================================
Bab 15.Filet~O-Fish
You'll need a DEEP-FRYER for this one. (this is a per-serving recipe. Multiply everything by each serving needed.) Fish patty can also be baked per package directions.
1 Van de Camps frozen breaded whitefish patty*
1 small, regular hamburger bun
1 Tablespoon prepared tartar sauce
1/2 slice real American cheese
dash salt
1 12"x12" sheet of waxed paper (to wrap)
**use any square whitefish patty not extra crisp, like Mrs. Pauls, or even the store brand.
(as with the burgers, pre-heat your oven to warm. This is your warming "bin".)
Pre-heat you fryer to 375-400 degrees. After its ready, cook fish 3-5 minutes until done.(do NOT thaw first.) Remove and add a dash of salt.
In the old days, the bun was quick warmed using a steamer. We'll use the microwave. Microwave the bun about 10 seconds, until hot and steamy. (Do NOT toast the bun) Add about 1
Tablespoon of prepared tartar sauce to crown side of the bun. Place the cooked fish filet on top, add 1/2 slice american cheese centered on the fish, and add heel of the bun. Wrap in a
12"x12" sheet of waxed paper and warm in oven's lowest setting for 8-10 minutes. Dig into a fabulous Filet~0-Fish!
****************ONCE AGAIN**************** An alternate "Q-ing" method would be to wrap the sandwich tightly in wax paper, let sit for 5 minutes, and microwave on high
for 15 seconds (while still wrapped.) In fact, you can use this method on ALL of the burger recipes on this site, with the exception of the McD.L.T. ("Q-ing" was a McDonald's term for
helping the flavors to meld via mechanical means; ie heatlamp or microwave.)

Bab 4.McDonald's® Famous French Fries
Special Tools
Deep fryer
French Fry Cutter
(or patience for cutting potatoes)
Ingredients:
2 large Idaho russett potatoes
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons corn syrup
1½-2 cups hot water
6 cups Crisco® shortening
1/4 cup beef lard (or save the fat from previously cooked burgers)
salt
Preparing your french fries
Peel the potatoes. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, and hot water. Make sure the sugar is dissolved. Using a french fry slicer, cut the peeled
potatoes into shoestrings. The potatoes should be 1/4" x 1/4" in thickness, and about 4" to 6" long. (You can do this with a knife, but it is alot of work)
Place the shoestringed potatoes into the bowl of sugar-water, and refrigerate. Let them soak about 30 minutes.
While they're soaking, pack the shortening into the deep fryer. Crank up the temperature to "full". The shortening has to pre-heat for a very long time. It will
eventually liquify. After it has liquified and is at least 375°, drain the potatoes and dump them into the fryer. (be careful, it will be ferocious)
After 1 to 1½ minutes, remove the potatoes and place them on a paper towel lined plate. Let them cool 8 to 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
While they're cooling, add the lard or beef drippings to the hot Crisco®. Again, crank the temperature to full. Stir in the lard as it melts into the oil. It will blend in.
After the deep fryer is reheated to 375°-400°, add the potatoes and deep fry again. This time for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove and place in a large bowl.
Sprinkle generously with salt, then "toss" the fries to mix the salt evenly. ( I suggest about 1 teaspoon of salt, maybe slightly more)
Serve hot, serve immediately, and enjoy! Depending upon the size of the potatoes, this recipe make about 2 medium sized fries.
Special Notes
Note¹***** If you want more fries, double the recipe---but DON'T double the cooking oil. Just cook them in shifts, adding about 1/4 cup more Crisco® and 1
tablespoon lard for the second batch.

Bab 5.McD.L.T.
INGREDIENTS:
1 -TOPPS 1/4 lb frozen beef patty, or alternative*
1 -sesame seed bun
1 -slice real American cheese
1/4 -cup chopped iceberg lettuce
1 -fresh tomato slice (2 if small)
1 -tablespoon fresh chopped white onion
3 -dill pickle slices
McDonald's Hamburger Seasoning
Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise
Pre-heat an electric griddle to 400 degrees, and toast both halves of the bun face down on the griddle. It should toast quickly and will have an even light-brown color when done. After
toasting, set the toasted bun aside. On the same grill surface, cook the beef patty the same way as a Quarter-Pounder® (see cooking instructions for the Quarter Pounder®.)
DRESS YOUR BUN: On the crown half, apply mustard, ketchup, and onions as described in the Quarter-Pounder™ recipe. Then add 3 pickle slices, the lettuce, followed by 1 tablespoon
of mayonnaise. Top that with the tomato, then the slice of cheese. (This can be done, and should be done 10-15 minutes before the beef is cooked.) Place in the refrigerator. When the
beef is done, put it on the heel side of the bun. Then get the dressed crown side out of the fridge, slap the two together, and WACK! A no longer available McD.L.T™!
==========================================================
Bab 6.Quarter Pounder INGREDIENTS:
INGREDIENTS:
1 -Topp's 1/4 lb frozen beef patty
1 -sesame seed bun
1 -Tablespoon fresh onion...diced
mustard, ketchup
2 -HEINZ hamburger slices (pickles)
2 -slices real American cheese (optional)
McDonald's Hamburger Seasoning
BEEF PATTY ALTERNATIVE: If you can't find Topps™ 1/4 pound patties, use one pound ground chuck, divide into 4 equal pieces, and form the patties about 5" diameter and 1/4"
thick. Do this on wax paper, and freeze until needed.
Cooking your Quarter Pounder™
Pre-heat an electric grill to 400 degrees. (If cooking more than one...also pre-heat an electric grill for toasting the sesame seed buns)Lay the beef frozen patty on the grill, and after about
20 seconds, "sear" it. Sear a little harder and a little longer than with regular hamburgers.You should apply heavy pressure for 6-8 seconds. Sprinkle liberally with McD's Hamburger
Seasoning.(see regular burgers to make that) About 2½-3 minutes after searing, turn. Be careful not to tear the sear you just created. Add another dash Seasoning. Lay the crown of the
bun facedown on an unused, clean portion of the grill. It will toast very quickly, so move it around in a circular motion to prevent burning. After about 30 seconds the bun will be toasted
enough. Remove to dress, and lay the heel facedown to the same spot on the grill. (If cooking more than one, follow the bun toasting instructions for the regular hamburger.)
DRESSING THE BUN: Put five "kisses" of mustard around the toasted crown about 1/2 inch from the edge, equally spaced. Then put five squirts of ketchup in the pattern of a five on
dice and the size of a nickle on the toasted bun. (Make the center one the size of a quarter.) Add about a tablespoon of freshly chopped white onion, and the two pickle slices, evenly
spaced.
If you're making a Quarter-Pounder with Cheese™, lay one slice of real American cheese on top of the condiments.Most cheese slices are slightly too big, so cut or tear off about 1/4
inch, making a slight rectangle.
By now...your meat should be done. (about 2½-3 more minutes after turning) Smash the beef patty with the spatula to "squeeze" out excess fat, then remove. Smash it again between the
spatula and your free hand to addtionally drain the fat. Lay it on top of your dressed crown and add the toasted heel. (If you're making a Quarter-Pounder with Cheese™, lay another slice
of real American cheese on top of the patty before adding the heel. Position the corners off alignment with the other cheese slice)
Wrap it in a pre-cut 12x12 sheet of waxed paper and either microwave it for 15 seconds, or allow it to be "warmed" in your pre-heated (lowest setting) oven for 8-10 minutes. (or use the
alternate "Q-ing" method) ENJOY!!!

COOKING:
Discard the crown half of the regular bun, retaining the heel. The cooking method for the Big Mac™ is basically the same as the regular burgers, only the bun toasting method is slightly
different. In the Big Mac's case you toast the bottom (heel) first. Do this along with the extra heel. (this will be your middle bun.)
Cook the two-all-beef-patties just like the regular burgers. After the bun parts are toasted, put 1 tablespoon of "Mac sauce" on each of the heels.(toasted side.) Then add 1/8 cup
shredded lettuce to each.On the true bottom bun, place one thin slice of American cheese on top of the lettuce. On the extra "heel", the middle bun, place two pickle slices on top of the
lettuce. Toast the "crown" (top) of the bun also. When the meat patties are done, place them one at a time on both prepared buns. Stack the middle bun on top of the bottom bun, and put
the crown on top.
For proper "aging", or "Q-ing", ...wrap the finished Big Mac® in a 12"x18" sheet of waxed paper as follows:
1...Center the burger, right side up, on the waxed paper. Fold the "long" ends of the paper up over the top. (It will resemble a tube with the burger in the center.)
2...Fold the two remaining ends underneath. Wrap snug, but don't squish it like the regular burgers.
3...Let sit 5-8 minutes, allowing the flavors to "meld".
4...Microwave, still wrapped, 15 seconds on high.
....Enjoy an AWESOME Big Mac® Sandwich!

Bab 8.McDONALD'S "OLD-SCHOOL" CHEESEBURGER
Cook the burgers using the regular hamburger recipe and place one THIN slice of american cheese on the crown side before adding meat patty. Don't use Kraft
singles or Velveeta. (or anything termed as "American processed cheese FOOD) Use only real American cheese. That is KEY! Please Note****Most slices of
American cheese are too big for McDonald's cheeseburgers. So take about 1/4" off two edges to make a smaller square.
McDonald's Bacon Double-Cheeseburger
Ingredients:
2 prepared beef patties
1 prepared bun
2 American cheese slices
1 slice Oscar Mayer Ready~Made™ bacon
Prepare the beef patties and buns as directed in the regular hamburger recipe. Dress the bun the same way.
Microwave the pre-cooked bacon for about 15-20 seconds, tear it in half, and lay the pieces side by side on the dressed crown. Follow that with one slice of
cheese. Put cooked beef patty #1 on top of the cheese, add another slice of cheese and then beef patty #2. Add the toasted heel and wrap in a 12"x16" sheet of
waxed paper. (see cooking regular hamburgers for wrapping directions)
Let sit for 5-7 minutes, then microwave (still wrapped) for 15 seconds until hot.
Enjoy a classic bacon double cheeseburger!

Bab 9.Egg McMuffin
This is a PER sandwich recipe:
Ingredients:
1 large grade A egg
1 english muffin
butter, REAL butter
1 slice American cheese (real...not processed cheese food)
1 slice Canadian bacon
1 "12x12" sheet of wax paper
Non Stick Cooking Spray
SPECIAL TOOLS:
You need an egg ring. Find one at you're favorite cooking specialty store.
COOKING your Egg McMuffin:
1- Pre-heat an electric griddle to 275 degrees. Toast your english muffin by laying both sides face down on the griddle and applying pressure. This takes about 1 to 1.5 minutes. (they
should be medium brown) Set aside.
2- Lay your egg ring on the pre-heated grill. Spray with Pam to prevent sticking. krack the egg and pour into egg ring on the grill. Poke the yolk with a sharp instrument so it flows.
3- Butter both toasted halves of the english muffin liberally with melted butter. Put a slice of American cheese on the bottom half.
4- About 2 1/2 minutes after you started cooking the egg, the whites should firm up, and the yolk should still be a bit "liquidy". Carefully remove the ring, leaving the egg on the griddle.
(you may have to "slice" around the edges if it sticks)
5- Very carefully turn the egg over, and lay one slice of Canadian bacon on the griddle.
6- After about 30-45 seconds, "flip" the Canadian bacon, and remove the egg, placing it on the bottom half (cheesed half) of the english muffin.
7- Put the Canadian bacon on top, and cover with the top of the english muffin.
8- Wrap in pre-cut wax paper just like the hambugrer recipes. Let stand 5 minutes, then microwave 12 second on high, and eat.

Bab 10.THE REGULAR HAMBURGER
The McDonald's regular hamburger is the one that got it all started in 1948. It's as basic as can be...yet the ones they serve today don't even taste CLOSE! Make em exactly as I
instruct, and you can enjoy that long-lost flavor once again.
(In the mid 80's, McDonald's began cooking both sides of the meat at the same time, This was to cut cooking time in half. But it also forever changed the flavor of the orginal
hamburgers---ALL of them!)
Ray Kroc discovered the McDonald brother's San Bernardino, Cal. restaurant in 1954 while selling mutli-mixers. (shake machines) He was so
impressed with their methods, he struck up a franchise deal, and in 1955 opened his first store in De Plaines Illinois. Oh, and he went on to earn
multi-millions.
(FYI.... In 1952, two years BEFORE Ray Kroc stumbled upon McDonald's, Burger King's founder Keith Cramer got his idea for a burger "joint"
after visiting with the legendary McDonald bros.) For a more detailed history, visit the McDonald's® Story page.
"Ten Regs please"..."Ten Regs, thankyou"
(An old production call for ten burgers)
McDonalds regular Hamburger ingedients:
1 -Pound ground chuck (80% lean)
10 -Small hamburger buns
10 -Hamburger dill slices
10 -teaspoons dried, chopped onion
McDonald's Hamburger Seasoning
Mustard, Ketchup ....and ..... waxed paper
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Hamburger Seasoning:
4 Tablespoons salt
2 Tablespoons Accent (msg)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Mix all ingredients well in a spice shaker with big
enough holes to allow pepper to flow. Makes about 3 ounces. Use on ALL McDonald's hamburgers. (unless you're allergic to msg, then just use
salt and pepper.)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Beef Patties:
Divide 1 lb of beef into 10 equal sized balls. Form a patty out of each ball about 4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Do this on waxed paper.
Now freeze the patties for at least an hour. (this keeps them from falling apart when you grill 'em)
Obviously you'll do this in advance of "burger time". It is pretty tough to make patties this small, so if you come up with 9 patties, I'll forgive you.
For PERFECT McDonald's Hamburger Patties click [ HERE! ]
The Onions:
Put the dried onions in a container, oh..like Tupperware...and add water. Water should be a few inches over the top of the onions. (better to have too
much water than not enough) Cover, and refrigerate about 1/2 hour. Drain the liquid, and BAM...you have McDonald's little baby onions.
Cover again and refrigerate until 'burger time".
The Pickles:
McDonald's® pickle slices are unique in flavor, very sour dills. The only product I know of that comes close to the distinctive flavor is HEINZ
Genuine Dills. (original sour dill.) But they don't come in slices, so slice your own VERY thin. I can't do it very well with a knife, so I use a K-tel
"dial-a-slice" home vegetable slicer. ALSO....Vlasic "original" dills have that tart flavor. Make sure they're not "kosher" dills. Wal-Mart®
carries Vlasic ORIGINAL dills, and you have to slice those too. (****note, these pickles are pretty small, so slice at an angle....you'll get bigger dill
chips.) USE THESE PICKLES ON ALL McDONALD'S® HAMBURGERS!
The Buns:
Use the small, plain cheapo store brand hamburger buns. You know, they come 8 or 12 in a pack. Usually about 59 to 69 cents for a pack of 8.
(You'll want to separate the tops, or "crowns" from the bottoms, or "heels"...as most likely they'll be connected slightly on one edge.) When it's
"burger time", you'll be toasting the buns. Those instructions are coming up.
WalMart® sells a great product for regular buns---Great Value™ brand "jumbo" hamburger buns. They're almost exactly like McDonald's® buns
and a little bigger than the other hamburger buns available at your supermarket.
ONE MORE THING: Before you cook these marvelous hamburgers, pre-cut 10 12"x12" sheets of waxed paper. You'll need them to wrap the
burgers.
Cooking
your
Hamburgers!
Pre-heat your oven to warm..its lowest level, this is for later.You're going to need two electric griddles . One to grill the meat, the other to toast the
buns. Pre-heat the meat griddle to 375-400°, and the bun griddle to about 350°.
(this recipe has you cooking four at a time)
***note***before starting, make sure to have all of your condiments READY! (because this all happens very fast)
#1 -Toast the crowns of 4 buns (tops) Do this by laying them face down on the griddle closely together. Put a dutch oven (pot) bottom side down directly
on top of the buns.(open side facing up) This is only to apply hands-free pressure to the buns so they will toast evenly. (Don't use anything TOO heavy
like cast iron. You'll smash the buns.)
#2 -Lay the frozen patties on the other grill. After about 20 seconds, "sear" them by applying even pressure with the back of a metal spatula, and
pushing down on the front with your free hand. (careful not to burn your fingers.) Do this only for about 2 seconds...you should hear them sizzle louder
while you "sear" them. After searing them, sprinkle generously with McDonald's burger seasoning.
#3 -At this point, your buns are nearly done. They will have an even tan color when finished. Remove them, and repeat the the "bun toasting" process
with the heels. (bottoms)
#4 -After about one minute since searing the patties, turn them over. Careful, don't tear the side you seared. Add another dash of Seasoning and about a
teaspoon of your prepared onions. (Don't be anal and use a measuring spoon...no time...just two fingers and a thumb full.)
#5 -Now quickly dress your buns. (crown, or top side) Mustard first....five "kisses" the diameter of a pencil evenly spaced in a circle about a half inch
from the edge.
Then the Ketchup, (use Hunt's if you can) five squirts the size of a nickle..in the pattern found on dice. Place the pickle in the middle.
#6 -By the time you finish that, the meat will be done. (about 1 minute or 1:10 after turning) Remove the meat and tilt to the side to allow excess fat to
drain off. Use your free hand to hold down the onions. Place patties onion side up on the dressed crown, top with toasted heels. (the burger will be
upside-down)
#7 -Lay one finished hamburger, still upside-down, in the center of your pre-cut waxed paper. Wrap the paper around the burger tightly. It should
resemble a very oblong tube with two open ends, and the burger in the middle. Then wrap the open ends underneath the bottom of the burger so it is
enclosed tightly.
#8 -Place wrapped hamburger in your pre-heated oven. (remember...oven is just barely on warm) Keep 'em in there about 8-10 minutes.**** Hey!
That's enough time to cook another batch. (if you do cook another batch while these are "aging properly", scrape the black stuff and burnt onions to
the side before beginning.)
****PLEASE NOTE! Some ovens get too hot even on low, and this may dry out your burger. If they seem dry, next time wrap them tightly and let them
sit about 5 minutes. Then ZAP 'em for 15 seconds (one at a time) in the microwave. This will complete the "Q-ing" process without over microwaving
them like they do now. In fact, they almost taste better this way.
#9 -ENJOY!! This is how they used to be. This is how they were MEANT to be.
(You might consider toasting your buns first, at least the crowns, to give you extra time to dress them.)

Bab 11.McDonald's McRib™ Sandwich
Ingredients:
1 JTM Brand "Grillin' Ribs" pork patty
1 6 inch long sandwich bun
2 Tablespoons McDonald's Barbecue sauce (see recipe under McNuggets®)
1 Tablespoon chopped white onion
3 sour dill pickle slices
Note** J-T-M™ is the only brand of these pressed and formed pork patties that I've seen. They are shaped like a rack of ribs, just like at McDonald's®. I get
them at Wal-Mart. Look for them in the frozen meat section, near the pre-formed hamburger patties.
Cooking Your McRib®
1. Preheat your griddle to 400°. Cook the pork patty just like a quarter pound beef patty. (consult the package directions for cooking times and other cooking
options)
2. Toast the faces of both halves of the bun, using the bun toasting method described throughout this site.
3. On the toasted crown (top) half, apply the ready mixed barbecue sauce and follow that with the dill pickle slices, spread out evenly.
4. Put the cooked "rib" patty on next, then add the onions, followed by the heel. (bottom)
5. Wrap this masterpiece in a 12x16 sheet of waxed paper, let sit 5 minutes, then microwave on high about 15 seconds, still wrapped.
6. Enjoy a wonderful McRib® Sandwich!
Important Notes:
This is how we did it "back then". However, back then we also just used Bullseye® brand barbecue sauce. (original flavor) You might consider this option.
Also---this having never been an "official" McDonald's® sandwich, different franchise operators may have prepared it a little differently. Like putting the onions on
the crown side, or not putting pickles on it. Maybe they put sauce on both sides....etc...etc...Just customize it to the way YOU remember it.

Bab 15.Filet~O-Fish
You'll need a DEEP-FRYER for this one. (this is a per-serving recipe. Multiply everything by each serving needed.) Fish patty can also be baked per package directions.
1 Van de Camps frozen breaded whitefish patty*
1 small, regular hamburger bun
1 Tablespoon prepared tartar sauce
1/2 slice real American cheese
dash salt
1 12"x12" sheet of waxed paper (to wrap)
**use any square whitefish patty not extra crisp, like Mrs. Pauls, or even the store brand.
(as with the burgers, pre-heat your oven to warm. This is your warming "bin".)
Pre-heat you fryer to 375-400 degrees. After its ready, cook fish 3-5 minutes until done.(do NOT thaw first.) Remove and add a dash of salt.
In the old days, the bun was quick warmed using a steamer. We'll use the microwave. Microwave the bun about 10 seconds, until hot and steamy. (Do NOT toast the bun) Add about 1
Tablespoon of prepared tartar sauce to crown side of the bun. Place the cooked fish filet on top, add 1/2 slice american cheese centered on the fish, and add heel of the bun. Wrap in a
12"x12" sheet of waxed paper and warm in oven's lowest setting for 8-10 minutes. Dig into a fabulous Filet~0-Fish!
****************ONCE AGAIN**************** An alternate "Q-ing" method would be to wrap the sandwich tightly in wax paper, let sit for 5 minutes, and microwave on high
for 15 seconds (while still wrapped.) In fact, you can use this method on ALL of the burger recipes on this site, with the exception of the McD.L.T. ("Q-ing" was a McDonald's term for
helping the flavors to meld via mechanical means; ie heatlamp or microwave.)
==========================================================
