Cooking instruction summary:

The day before. Melt the sourdough starter in a stand mixer bowl with the warm milk, then add the strong flour and the semolina flour and start kneading. Add sugar, salt, the lightly beaten egg and keep kneading. Add the softened butter and keep on kneading until soft and elastic. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 4 hours or until doubled in volume. I kept the dough into the oven with the light on.After 4 hours, divide the dough into 12 balls, lay them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let them rise again for about 3 hours, until doubled.After 3 hours brush the buns with some milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds and salt flakes.Heat the oven to 230C and bake the buns for about 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 200C and bake for 10 15 minutes until golden. Let them cool down on a baking wire rack covered with a kitchen towel: if you are not going to eat them soon, you can toast or grill them the day after and freeze the leftover buns.Make the mayonnaise following this recipe, then add at the end the finely chopped capers and lemon zest. Keep the mayonnaise in the fridge until you're going to use it.Make the hamburger. In a bowl mix the ground meat with the finely chopped capers, salt and pepper.Mix with your hands and make 4 hamburgers, pressing the meat. Wrap in cling film and keep in the fridge until you're ready to grill them.The day after or just before enjoying your hamburgers and home made buns. Slice thinly the carrots and cook them with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt for about 10 minutes, until tender but still slightly crunchy. Drizzle with a few drops of balsamic vinegar and cook until reduced.Sprinkle with sea salt a grilling pan and heat on high flame. When hot grill the hamburgers for a few minutes on each side, depending on how you prefer them. I love them still pink inside. Drizzle with some good extra virgin olive oil and remove from the pan.Toast the buns, spread with mayonnaise, add a good serving of the balsamic vinegar carrots, the hamburger and a quickly grilled slice of bacon.Choose the movie to watch, crouch on the sofa with your loved one and enjoy the evening.

Food Trivia

Perhaps as a relic of an ancient Roman custom of planting parsley on graves, a sprig of parsley was either associated with the devil or as an antidote for poison. Adding a sprig to a plate of food may have originated as a gesture of good faith and as way to safeguard the meal from evil.

Food Joke

A lawyer, a fervent Democrat dressed in casual clothes, sits down to have his lunch in a park across from his office. The he notices a very distinguished and dignified man sit down a few feet away on the grass; he extremely well dressed in a tailored Hickey Freeman pinstriped suit, silk tie, starched white shirt, cuff links, tiepin, Rolex, highly polished black wingtips and silk socks. He places his expensive briefcase next to him and prepares for lunch. "One of those Republicans, I’ll bet" thought the lawyer, and after introducing himself, he found out he is right – not only a Republican, but an investment banker. The lawyer glances at the banker’s shoes, glistening in the sunlight. Lawyer: You have those polished every day, don’t you. Investment Banker: Just about. I have to look good for the clients. Lawyer: What about the poor? A few shoeshine would pay for a lot food. Investment Banker: I help them through taxes, but we all have personal responsibility. Lawyer: I'm telling you, the poor only need a chance! We should be GIVING them money; they haven't had our advantages! Investment Banker: We all have to work for what we have. Lawyer: Look, poverty can happen to anyone! There's no way you can know that from where you sit! "Keep talking if you want to. When I sleep, nothing wakes me…and I mean NOTHING. "The investment banker sighs, then takes off his suit jacket, places it on the grass and falls deeply asleep. Then a barefoot homeless man appears, and asks the lawyer for change. The lawyer apologizes, and says he has nothing, but then he sees the investment banker's wallet in his suit pocket. He slips it out, and hands it to the homeless man; then he notices that the homeless man needs shoes. The he has an idea…he looks over at the feet of the sleeping investment banker… "Wait!" cries the lawyer. "I'm sure you need these more than he does." He then starts to untie the investment banker's polished wingtips and carefully pulls them off. Even more carefully, he pulls off his black dress socks and hands both shoes and socks to the astonished homeless man. "With my compliments!" Then the lawyer sees a sad woman with a baby walking by. "Can I help you?" he asks her. When he finds out that she needs money for her rent, the lawyer again approaches the snoring – and now barefoot - investment banker and removes his cuff links; then he slips the tiepin out of the silk tie and the Rolex off his wrist. He hands them all to the delighted woman. "Sell these!" the lawyer cries. "Oh, thank you sir" says the delighted woman, and runs off. Next, a man in a janitor's uniform walks by, looking dejected. "What's the matter, my friend?" says the lawyer sympathetically. "I..lost my job. I have a chance for a better one, but I don't have the clothes! This is all I have!" and he holds up a pair of old polyester pants. The lawyer sighs, and then sees the businessman's pinstriped suit jacket. "Would this help?" he asks the man. "Sure!" cries the man. "You could use a briefcase, too!" says the lawyer and opens up the investment banker's briefcase. He removes the contents and hands it to the joyful man. Then he looks at the investment banker's silk tie and white shirt. Can he manage it? He has to move the investment banker a few times, but he only snores and sleeps. Then he undoes the banker's belt and pulls it off. Triumphantly he hands the shirt, belt and tie to the man. "Wait" the lawyer cries. "You really need a full suit. Give me a hand and I’ll need those polyester pants. I’m getting good at this" and with great care and trouble, set to work. Ten minutes later, the sleeping investment banker was wearing the polyester pants and the man was staring happily at his tailored suit. He thanks the lawyer profusely and runs off. "How good it is to help people!" he says to himself. Twenty minutes later, a policeman walks up to the investment banker, and snaps: "Hey buddy, wake up, no loitering! We don't allow bums to sleep here" Finally the investment banker wakes up with a start and looks down at him.
