July 4th Burger

Posted on July 25, 2009 by Chris Heisel

I went by the [Comme Ca recipe on nytimes.com](http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/01/dining/012brex.html?_r=1) but the only thing worth paying attention to is step 2.

Essentially you start your burger off on the stove top in cast iron and sear the outside quickly, then finish it in the oven for a nearly perfect medium rare burger.

Running multiple sites from one Django codebase

  • Running multiple sites from one Django codebase – Interesting approaching using an environment variable, but I feel like the straightforward solution is to have a different package of settings/urls/templates for each site. Then in apache you just specify the right settings based on a VHost.
