Sometimes life throws you curveballs. You can either shorten your stroke and make contact or you can swing for the fences and hope you hit it out of the park. Last night I was thrown a dinner curveball. We were out looking for a new washer/dryer unit for our place - and since we have some space constraints we had to go to a few places to get the best deal. So we ended up getting home right about 5:30, and I had done nothing for dinner yet. No prep, no pre-cooking, nothing. So I had to grab and go from the fridge and slap something together last minute.

So we ended up with a few frozen hamburgers that were hanging around, sautéed zucchini, and some boxed macaroni and cheese. The burgers were especially nice - right when I started cooking them I tossed on a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and a little onion powder on each side to give them all a nice flavor. the zucchini I tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper and cooked up in a frying pan. I had intended to grill the burgers and the zucchini, but my grill was out of propane - just another curveball.
My wife made the suggestion of putting the zucchini on top of the burgers, and along with some ketchup this made the burgers twice as good. It would have been better grilled, but for tonight we ate and ate well, so that is what's most important.
