A Couple of Things You Should Know Today

1. I have been fighting the urge to eat a cupcake since 8:30 am ET.

2. I wore khakis and sneakers to work today.  I understand that no words can justify this calamity.

3. I am perplexed, intrigued, and confused by Alicia Silverstone feeding her son like a bird.  Cher would not approve.

4.  Happy Birthday to my colleague Marissa. You are perfect.  Don't ever change.  


We take birthdays seriously here.

Veggie Burgers

I love making veggie burgers.  I learned the recipe from my cousin Whitney who I think took it from her dad but I am not sure.

Whitnay and Uncle Marc
This recipe made it's way to my apartment senior year of college.  This recipe is so cheap that when I had $12 in my bank account I could still eat something nutritious. These burgers are now a household name!  My friend Nat asks me once every three months for the recipe and now I believe that I have perfected it with less calories.

Ingredients:
One can of any beans (I usually use black or kidney beans)
Any vegetables - I use red onions, garlic, peppers, KALE, and even threw a tomato in last time
1.5 cups of panko bread crumbs

1. Put vegetables in a food processor until chopped up, it will look like green mush because of the kale
2. Put black beans or any beans in food processor until mush
3. Combine beans and vegetables and mix in panko bread crumbs
4. Add salt pepper garlic
5. Put in fridge for 10 minutes to harden up
6. Bake in broiler for 15-20 mins or until not mush.

You will get about six decent sized burgers and they are 175 calories each!  I used to make them with an egg but I realized if you can put this food in a processor, it will stick on its own.

Next is a healthy version of a sweet potato fry.  This isn't rocket science.  Slice up a sweet potato thinly, put them on a pan with Pam (who the hell is Pam anyways?) or whatever, sprinkle olive oil, salt, & pepper on them.  Let them cook for 20 minutes at 400 or until crisp.  If you eat half of these fries (you should get about 20 slices depending on the size of the cut and potato) but it is only around 50 calories.  If you eat them all, you're at 100 calories.  Good job.

Below is a picture of a left over veggie burger from Sunday on my salad.  Still pretty tasty!

Yum.

Picking Your Nose.

You were driving with your knees using both hands to dig for what I can only describe as treasure, because I couldnt imagine anyone spending so much effort on anything else. We never actually caught eyes, since yours were too concentrated on the rear view mirror searching your nose for hanger-ons. I thought, atleast, you may have a bit of an edgy, adventurous side, since you didn't look at the road for atleast two exits. Any chick that can dig that deep in the nose...well, you know... Are you single? I don't think I saw a ring on your finger, but it was hard to tell, since I could only make out the knuckle. Maybe this is a long shot, but you've been running through my mind all afternoon.

I have realized that a lot of people pick their nose; more than I thought.  No one picks their nose more than my sister Kay.  I swear she picks her nose in her sleep and has since we were younger.  She can even flare her nostrils which she used to do all of the time to make me laugh.   I do not pick my nose because it will get my fingernails dirty and I have nose bleeds all the time.  I have picked other people's noses before though to weird them out.  Once I stuck my finger up my friend Drew's nose and we both swear I touched his brain.

Look at those nostrils.


Safety first, do not pick your nose and drive.
