Celebrate National Hamburger Month With the Perfect Burger


Updated 05/15/12 9:10 AM · Posted by YumSugar · 1 comment

A delicious burger is like a work of art. The meat should be smoky and charred on the outside, but juicy and tender on the inside. The cheese should be melted, the condiments crisp and fresh, and the bun toasted, but soft. Once you've mastered the basic method, it's fun to get experimental with the ingredients. But before you can do that, you've got to learn how to make a traditional burger. Watch the video now to see how it's done!

Here at YumSugar, we're loving Instagram, the iPhone app that allows us to take, edit, and share our camera phone pictures. Any opportunity for us to take pictures of what we're eating (or drinking as the case may be) and share it is A-okay with us. The only downfall to Instagram that we can find is that we end up drooling all day over delicious food photos that other people post. Come find us — our username is heyyumsugar — and check out what's yummy in our lives lately, and catch a glimpse at some behind the scenes Sugar action.

The Martha Stewart Show Canceled on Hallmark, Moves to PBS


Updated 04/20/12 5:04 PM · Posted by YumSugar · 2 comments


Update: Martha Stewart announced her 30-minute show, Martha's Cooking School, will air this Autumn on PBS. "The response to our announcement for a PBS cooking school series is wonderful," she tweeted, taking a dig at Hallmark: "Easy access to PBS as opposed to Hallmark will be wonderful."

This morning broke news that the Martha Stewart Show will be no more. The program, which has been on the air since 2005, struggled to maintain the necessary viewership, even with a 2010 move to the Hallmark Channel and a more heavy celebrity focus (side note: how cute does Hugh Jackman look in the above photo?).

There is, however, some good news in all of this. The finale show promises to be "a lavish Oprah-style send off," which is always fun for viewers. There are also reportedly talks of a Martha makeover show being pitched around, and we're not sure how we feel about that just yet. How are you feeling about this end of an era? Will you miss Martha or did you think it was time for the show to say goodbye?
