I like Christmas time not only for its spirit but also for the fact that this is the best occasion to fix up your house/room/wardrobe. Let's just do it.

I must say that I am secret fan of the burgers. The thing is that it'snot that easy to find a good quality, well prepared hamburger in the City.
Suffering from lack of taste in the restaurants (except the Wolseley where I ate one of "these" burgers) I decided to prepare my own. With ingredients I like, taste I adore.
Just watch the photo by photo.
You'll see how easy is to prepare your own homemeade (delicious obviously) hamburger!
