      What do you typically do for burger buns? Trying to keep it light I miss the yummy buns. Do you make your own or have a favorite brand?

      I like that you have put the salmon one on a salad. I don't deal well with bread, so I always avoid burgers because of the bun. I am going to try this. Any other ideas for a bun alternative?

      I love your lamb burgers. We actually did them at a family BBQ at the weekend and they were a big hit. Everyone asked for the recipe. I sent them to your blog of course. I was tempted to take credit for them myself ;)

      I love burgers, but I am sad to say I can't stop eating Maccy D's.

      Haha, that news of the world story about you is funny. How cool that you have been in a huge paper though!
