Snowstorm

Soo the snowstorm today kinda sucked ass. Shit-load of shoveling, everything, except DD, was closed, I wore snow-pants all day(but lets face it, thats actually a bonus), oh and I was bored. All day. Also, this is by far the worst winter I've had up here since I moved from Ohio over six years ago. I've got homework to do for my Business class but thats for later, still job hunting, still bored, still in snow-pants. Oh and I'm still hunting for that bastard mouse, James. He's been in our apartment for months now and one day, by chance, he "caught" him, he had jumped into a trash can, the kind with the swinging lid, and had gotten himself stuck. Ait took us two days to realize where he was and then once we got him out and put him somewhere we could watch him, he somehow got away when we were off getting supplies to keep him alive, asshole. And we've been hunting for him ever since.

Search History

I'm beginning to love the strange things that can pop up in one's search history or suggestions, like today I had begun to type "how to..." starting with the "h", and Harvested Human Organs came up. Also, half the things that come up in Google's suggestions have to do with Facebook -___- seriously?

Black Bean Burgers

Made these for my vegetarian girlfriend last night after a long day of hiking and a few errands;

   

   Vegetarian Black Bean Burgers(Makes 5 patties)

1 can of black beans, well drained

1/2 medium onion, small dice

2 slices of bread, crumbled

1/2 cup of flour

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp seasoned salt

Salt and pepper to taste

• First dice the onions, if you don't know how to do this I'm going to post some instructions on it later, and saute them in a 10-12" skillet, with oil, until soft or slightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
• Next, after draining them, mash the beans(preferably with a potato masher) in a large bowl until it becomes pasty, then stir in the onions.
• Put the bread in a toaster on a low setting, while the bread is toasting gather and measure out your spices, adding them into the mix. When the bread is ready, put it through a food processor, or you can do it manually, until you have the crumbs. Stir these into the mix.
• Next, measure out the flour and add it in small increments in order to make sure it spreads evenly. Your mix should now be thick.
• Start forming the mix into 1/2" thick patties, rolling them into balls and flattening them out until you have about 5 even patties.
• Begin frying, 2-3 patties at a time, they should take anywhere between 5-10 minutes to cook depending on the setting you have chosen, flip once every 2 minutes to ensure equal cooking. The finished product should resemble a patty made from Swedish meatballs, light brown with onions.
• Serve immediately(I would recommend pepper jack for the cheese)
• Enjoy.

Mmmm...my currently useless blog. Huzzah!
