Smash Burger Night: Therapy on a Bun

Tonight’s dinner plan: stress-smashing burgers. No fancy grill, no secret family recipe—just me, a hot pan, and a pile of ground beef. There’s something weirdly satisfying about pressing those patties down, watching the edges crisp up while the kitchen fills with that unmistakable burger smell. Toppings? Whatever’s left in the fridge. Cheese, pickles, maybe a rogue onion slice. The result: a stack of imperfect, messy burgers that taste like victory over a long week. Honestly, it’s less about the food and more about the ritual. The sizzle, the flip, the first bite—reminds me that sometimes, making something with your own hands is the best kind of self-care. If you’re feeling off, I highly recommend a smash burger night. No judgment if you eat two. Or three.
