Medium rare is the only way to do it. With about a pound of butter

A raw burger is so damn nasty to me. Makes me make the gross puke face just reading the words.

Sorry you're a weenie.

Bloody, but warm on the inside. Not sure if that's Piiinnnk or Rare.

At restaurants, I just ask for it medium rare though since I've seen too many restaurants horror shows to not have them cookies at least partially

That is nasty. I should add a nasty option.
Not the good nasty. The nasty nasty.

You forgot to add the Rum option.

I'm very familiar with everything that goes along with being a kidney transplant recipient. My husband had 2. Was preparing for a 3rd when I lost him. I used to cook his steaks closer to medium, and I fixed his burgers well done. He'd have liked them my way, but with the rejection meds I didn't want to risk it. How long have you had your transplant?

Thank you for asking. I had the first one for just over 5 years, then lost it to chronic rejection. It was from my brother-in-law, a zero-antigen match. My second was on Valentine's Day, 2015. It is from a deceased donor and is a 6-antigen match. So far, it is still doing well. Serum creatinine is running between 1.5 and 1.7.

I was on dialysis 2 years before the first transplant and about 6 years before this one. My kidneys failed when I was 40. I'm going on 22 years since they failed and still making it. Unfortunately, I seem about 10 years older than I am, largely due to all the issues around kidney failure. Still, I'm not complaining too much. I'm happy to still be here!

And, to bring this back on topic-- I need the red meat to keep my protein levels up to stay healthy! I'm a little bit anemic, so I might as well enjoy a good steak.
