There are lots of meatless burgers in the world, but this one—earthy and satisfying without being stodgyhas Latino flair and is pantry-friendly to boot.
Leave a Review
My first time making these and they were so easy to make and sooooo yummy! I'm addicted! You can add anything you want to these to make them how you'd like them!
Really good. I sautéed an onion and poblano pepper and added it to mixture. Also used an egg plus one spoonful mayo, instead of all mayo. And used half flour and half crushed corn chips to bind it. Delicious!
Delicious. I made this using the pH Miracle diet, which excludes wheat, vinegar and eggs amongst other things. Instead of mayo I used macadamia nuts pulsed in the food processor with a few drops of water and added 4 T of the ground nuts. I used 4 teaspoons cumin, added 2-3 T minced onion, and increased the minced cilantro to about 1/3 cup. I added maybe a 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of chipotle chili powder that was nice and smokey. Made 5 burgers. Served with slices of avocado, salsa and a roasted red pepper macadamia nut thick sauce from the pH Miracle diet cookbook. The pepper sauce is delicious with these burgers. Next time I will add smoked paprika for more smokey depth.
Delicious and simple to prepare.
I added one egg and a squirt of mayo. I also threw in 3 tablespoons green pepper, and 2 minced scallions. These were awesome. I could barely wait til dinner! I kept spice amounts the same. These made 7 nice size patties.
I've made these twice now- I added green pepper and a shallot, which added a nice flavor. I also used chili powder, more like a tsp. I used oats rather than bread crumbs because I'm gluten free. They were awesome, and left overs were I think even better the second night, when the spices can develop.
I love a good black bean burger, but this was not that. To be fair, I did half the recipe, but still...the texture and the flavor were way off. It fell apart, and was very bland. Sorry, but I would look for another option.
The taste of these burgers was very good! However, they were on the dry side, despite adding some grated onion. Next time I'll try more onion, maybe an egg, or a different brand of beans, as others have suggested.
Just made this tonight. I substituted the mayo with an egg and did double the cumin. I also let the beans air dry. The burgers were great. Kept there shape and didn't break apart and full of flavor. Will make again and again.
This recipe is very easy to prepare and tastes great! I treated it just like a burger; I added cheese and mayo and put it on a roll. I'll definitely be using this one again.

After a week that included an All-Star snub, another trade rumor, and a brutal avalanche of criticism following a listless performance in Friday night's loss in Toronto, Rajon Rondo decided yesterday to let his play act as his rebuttal.
The Celtics point guard elected not to speak with the media following his nationally televised triple-double of 32 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds that included four game-clinching free throws in a 95-91 victory against the Bulls. But his teammates were more than willing to talk on his behalf after Rondo's attitude and aggressiveness helped carry the Celtics to their biggest victory of the season.
"I love the fact that he came out and he set the tone," Kevin Garnett said. "He got guys involved and he was all over the place. When we win big, man, it's because the little fella is aggressive like that. I told him after the game I was proud of him. He had a bit of a rough day (in Toronto), but I thought he came through it and was professional and played with an edge. Anytime he does that, he makes everyone's job easier."
Rondo appeared to dodge the trade bullet this season when a proposed deal with New Orleans for All-Star Chris Paul fell through prior to training camp. But this week, another rumor — which was later largely discredited — surfaced about a possible swap of Rondo for Lakers forward Pau Gasol. Rondo was then left off the All-Star team for the first time in three years on Thursday, and followed with a mediocre outing in an overtime loss to the Lakers where Gasol dominated.
Then on Friday, Rondo's absentee performance (five points, 2-for-10 shooting, five turnovers) was at the heart of a heartless effort from the team in an 86-74 loss at lottery-bound Toronto.
But in need of a big rebound as much they have at any point in the lockout-shortened season, Rondo led the way yesterday as the Celtics took advantage of Chicago being without reigning MVP Derrick Rose (back spasms) for this season's signature home victory.
"We needed a win today," Garnett said. "Today was a huge game for us. Dealing with everything that happened in Toronto, today was a needed win. It was. We played like it. I thought we came out with a lot of energy. We hit first. We were aggressive. We played through calls.
"I thought we played like the old Celtics that I know we are."
After either of the previous two efforts, saying they "played like the old Celtics that I know we are" would have had a different connotation. But yesterday Boston attacked the younger, stronger Bulls. They scored 38 points in the paint on 19-of-27 shooting — the Bulls shot just 20 of 49 in the paint — and managed to outrebound the second-best rebounding team in the league 44-42 despite being without starting center Jermaine O'Neal (shoulder) and sixth man Brandon Bass (swollen knee).
Page 2 of 2 - "We came in tonight being aggressive and played hard on defense," said Chris Wilcox, who had 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting with nine rebounds in a spot start. "We played (Rondo's) game tonight. We made it fun for him. We got easy dunks off his passes. That's Rondo's game. If he can get the ball out, and we play defense and get stops, we can run with any team."
Garnett had 13 points and 12 rebounds and JaJuan Johnson gave a big effort off the bench with 12 points and four rebounds in 33 minutes for the Celtics. Carlos Boozer and C.J. Watson each had 22 for Chicago.
"I thought we played at a better pace today," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "You could see it — we were trying to run today. That's how we have to play. We talked after the Toronto game, and in our morning walkthrough, that we'd had enough of the walking. And it was not just Rondo, it was the team.
"When we do (run), it does a lot of things. We get early posts from our bigs. We get jump shots from the break. And we get Rondo in the open court. When you walk, you're easy to guard."
The Celtics were up four early in the fourth quarter when they went on a 14-4 run punctuated with back-to-back alley-oop slams from Rondo to Johnson and Wilcox. It was a 10-point game with less than three minutes to go when the Bulls ran off seven straight points in just over a minute to make things uneasy.
Paul Pierce responded with a huge jumper for a 91-86 lead at the 1:32 mark, then the Celtics survived a pair of Pierce turnovers to take a 91-88 lead into the final minute. That's when Rondo sealed the game with four makes in a row from the line in the final 21.5 seconds.

Fed by a growing national fervor for vegetable gardening, a countywide movement has sprouted to conscript as many yards, public spaces and empty lots as possible into service for food production.
The "Grow Healthy Food" initiative, or "iGROW Sonoma," officially launched in February with a Web site, iGROWsonoma.org. It is serving as a cyber-meeting spot to share information and promote gardening efforts all over the county.
And with the spring planting season swinging in to gear, supporters are ramping up their efforts with a weekend planting blitz on May 15 and 16.
iGrow Sonoma
The "350 Garden Challenge" has a goal of planting 350 gardens in a single weekend.
"It could be something as large as ripping out your lawn and putting in a food garden or edible landscape, or it could be something as small as planting a fruit tree or putting a drip system into existing raised beds," said Beth Radko, a point person for the challenge.
Planting plans
In Sebastopol, a whole neighborhood is undertaking a "block garden installation," planting five to six ecologically designed gardens. The U.S. Coast Guard is sending out a crew to help prepare the soil, both in that neighborhood and at the Burbank Heights senior housing in Sebastopol.
And in Sonoma Valley, Nuestra Voz, a nonprofit that provides leadership development in the Sonoma Valley Latino community, has canvased the Boyes Hot Springs area, identifying households that want to put in gardens but don't have the resources or land.
"We'll connect them with some materials to do container gardens," said Erin Axelrod, a program director for Daily Acts of Petaluma, a major booster of iGROW.
Promoting gardening is in the interest not just of individuals who can grow healthy food for the plate, but also for government agencies grappling with issues of pollution and scarce resources, said Axelrod. Industrial agriculture is the largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions, so switching to smaller production at a local level eases that, she said.

It can be a bit rigid and unforgiving, but overall Emergency! is a refreshing portable game.
It's a pretty unique budget title on the DS system, and it's unfortunate that it will probably be overlooked in favor of titles with more name recognition, but it's definitely worth picking up. There's nothing else on the DS quite like it, and I think it'll be a pleasant surprise to anyone who's willing to give it a shot.

A few months ago I stumbled onto a blog entry [I think] of a cyclist who had found zipties that had an eyelet built in so you could mount a fender strut to a bike with a bare fork. I thought the source for these was Peter White Cycles, but I just called them and they don't have such a beast.
Anyone here know of such a thing and where to get them?

The two-story building has walls of sandstone blocks between 18 and 32 inches thick, quarried in Utica, and secured with hydraulic cement of the same kind used in the construction of the I&M Canal. James Clark, the man who commissioned the building, came to Utica in 1833, where he became a land squatter. In 1842 he became a contractor on the I&M Canal and in 1845 he bought the local cement mill. He made it a huge commercial success by selling the cement to the canal contractors and the general public. The cement was used in many parts of the canal.

text: Interesting contrast with Kodak. I think the reason that Ilford is successful is that they are the right size for the market. Kodak is simply too big to support the sales they can realistically expect from film. Ilford is the right size and their market is no longer contracting (I think!). Kodak sales, with their reliance on movie film, will likely continue to shrink. I suspect that for films like Tri-x and Tmax to survive, the Kodak film group will need to be much closer to the size of Ilford to be viable long term......a tough pill to swallow unless the division is sold.

Quick question: When you think of Buddhism, whose name comes to mind?
What about Islam?
A few nights ago, I spoke at the University of North Alabama on an interfaith panel that included a rabbi (Micah Greenstein of Memphis, Tennessee), an imam (Sheikh Ossama Bahloul of Murfreesboro, Tennessee) and a Protestant minister (Bishop William Willimon of Birmingham, Alabama).
During the spirited dinner conversation that preceded the event a group of us got to talking about the important role that high-profile public figures can play in breaking down religious stereotypes.
At the local level, for example, getting to know your town's rabbi can undercut prejudices you may have toward Jews. Having dinner with your Muslim neighbor can debunk stereotypes about Islam. At the national level, though, public figures control the conversation.
One reason Buddhists are accepted more often than they are feared in the United States is that when we think of Buddhism we think of the Dalai Lama and his trademark smile.
When we think of Islam, however, many of us think of Osama Bin Laden and his AK-47.

Comprehensive Description
Penstemons (Penstemon spp.) are perennial forbs, subshrubs to shrubs with attractive flowers. Common to the western United States. Except for one minor species, the genus Penstemon does not occur naturally outside of North America. They are short to long-lived. Penstemons have opposite, entire or toothed leaves. They have several stalked flowers or flower clusters that are borne in the axils of the upper leaves or leaflike bracts. The tubular flower is strongly to distinctly two-lipped at the mouth with a two-lobed upper lip and a three-lobbed lower lip. There are 4 fertile stamens and a single sterile stamen that is often hairy at the tip. The fruit is a many-seeded capsule.
Alternative names
Distribution and adaptation
Penstemons do best on well-drained soils. Most ecotypes do well on infertile, disturbed soils. They have excellent cold winter and drought tolerance. They will tolerate weakly saline to weakly acidic sites. They are usually found in open areas, but will tolerate semi-shaded conditions. They are somewhat fire-resistant due to leaves staying green with relatively high moisture content during the fire season.
Penstemon is distributed throughout the entire United States. For a current distribution map, please consult the Plant Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Website.
These species should be seeded with a drill or broadcast at a depth of 1/4 inch or less into a firm seedbed. Ideal seeding depth is 1/8 inch. Penstemons are not recommended for single species seeding. The full seeding rate (not recommended) for these forbs-shrubs is 1.5 to 3 pounds Pure Live Seed (PLS) per acre or 20 to 26 PLS per square foot (varies somewhat by species). When used as a component of a mix, adjust to percent of mix desired. For mined lands and other harsh critical areas, doubling the seeding rate component of penstemon is not required. The best seeding results are obtained from seeding in very early spring (because of grass component of mix) on heavy to medium textured soils and in late fall on medium to light textured soils. Late summer (August - mid September) seeding is not recommended. Dormant fall seedings (preferred seeding period for penstemons) will pre-chill seed and reduce seed dormancy which is very strong in some species. Mulching, irrigation and weed control all benefit stand establishment. Seedling vigor is good, but not as good as most grasses. Germination may not occur until the second growing season. Flowering should not be expected until at least the second growing season.

Conservation Status
Please consult the PLANTS Web site and your State Department of Natural Resources for this plant's current status (e.g. threatened or endangered species, state noxious status, and wetland indicator values).
Pests and potential problems
Stands may require weed control measures during establishment. Because penstemons are broad-leaved, use of 2,4-D is not recommended. Mow weeds at or prior to their bloom stage. New stands may also be damaged by grasshoppers and other insects and pesticides may be needed.
Cultivars, improved and selected materials (and area of origin)
Alpine penstemon (P. venustus Dougl ex. Lindl.) is a selected class release from seed originally collected in
the Clearwater River drainage, Idaho; 'Bandera' (P. strictus Benth.) Rocky Mountain penstemon was developed from seed originally collected in Torrance County, New Mexico; 'Cedar' (P. palmeri Gray) Palmer penstemon was developed from seed originally collected near Cedar City in Iron County, Utah; Firecracker penstemon (P. eatonii Gray) is a selected release from seed originally collected near Richfield, Utah.
A number of other penstemons are seeded primarily for soil stabilization on depleted, disturbed and erosive areas for erosion control and as ornamentals. These include low penstemon (P. humilis Nutt. ex Gray), Rydberg penstemon (P. rydbergii A. Nels.), and thinleaf penstemon (P. pachyphyllus Gray ex Rydb.). No releases have been made.
Environmental concerns
Penstemon species establish and spread slowly via seed distribution. They are not considered "weedy" or invasive species, but can spread into adjoining vegetative communities under ideal climatic and environmental conditions. They coexist with other native species and add biodiversity to those plant communities.
Growth of penstemons begins in early spring and flowers appear in May through July depending on species. Weed control and removal of very competitive species may improve chance of establishment. Damage from wildlife and rodents may occur and they may need to be controlled. Disease problems are minimal except under irrigation. Under irrigation, fusarium wilt can be a problem.
Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Grazing/rangeland: 'Cedar' and 'Bandera' are the only released penstemons noted to have any forage value. 'Cedar' leaves stay green throughout the growing season providing some forage value. All other varieties are considered fair to poor palatability and considered to be only incidental forage value. All species provide diversity to the seeded plant community.
Erosion control/reclamation: All species are mentioned for their value in mixes for erosion control and beautification values.
Wildlife: Penstemons are considered desirable forages for deer, antelope and birds either as herbage or seed. They may also provide some cover for selected small bird species. They provide diversity to the plant community.

Penstemon /ˈpɛnstɨmən/,[1] the beardtongues, is a large genus of North American and East Asian flowering plants formerly placed in the Scrophulariaceae family (Cronquist system). Due to new genetic research, it has now been placed in the vastly expanded family Plantaginaceae.
They have opposite leaves, partly tube-shaped, and two-lipped flowers and seed capsules. The most distinctive feature of the genus is the prominent staminode, an infertile stamen. The staminode takes a variety of forms in the different species; while typically a long straight filament extending to the mouth of the corolla, some are longer and extremely hairy, giving the general appearance of an open mouth with a fuzzy tongue protruding and inspiring the common name beardtongue.
Most penstemons are deciduous or semi-evergreen perennials, the remainder being shrubs or subshrubs. Heights can range from 10 cm to as much as 3 metres.
The one Asiatic species previously treated in Penstemon is now placed in a separate genus Pennellianthus. This leaves Penstemon a mostly nearctic genus, with a few neotropical species. Although widespread across North America, and found in habitats ranging from open desert to moist forests, and up to the alpine zone, they are not typically common within their range.
Native Americans long used penstemons as medicinal remedies for humans and animals.[2] John Mitchell published the first scientific description in 1748; although he only named it as Penstemon, we can identify it as P. laevigatus. Linnaeus then included it in his 1753 publication, as Chelone pentstemon, altering the spelling to better correspond to the notion that the name referred to the unusual fifth stamen (Greek "penta-", five). Mitchell's work was reprinted in 1769, continuing with his original spelling, and this was ultimately accepted as the official form, although Pentstemon continued in use into the 20th century.
Although several more species were found in the 18th century, they continued to be classified in Chelone until about the 1820s. The period of 1810 to 1850 increased the number of known species from 4 to 63, as expeditions traveled through Mexico and the western United States, followed by another 100 up to 1900.
During this time, seeds began to be offered for sale in Europe, the earliest known dating from 1813, with John Fraser offering four species in London, followed by Flanagan & Nutting offering nine species in their 1835 catalog. Subsequently many hybrids were developed in Europe.
Fieldwork in the remote parts of the Great Basin during the 20th century brought the total number of species known to over 250. The genus was extensively revised by David Keck between 1932 and 1957; in 1946 the American Penstemon Society was formed to promote both horticultural and botanical interest.
Although penstemons are among the most attractive native flowers of North America, Europe has always been far more active in their cultivation, and hundreds of hybrids have been developed there since the early 19th century. The earliest development is somewhat shrouded in mystery; for instance Flanagan & Nutting's 1835 catalog mentions a 'Penstemon Hybridum' but does not describe it.
By 1860, a half-dozen French growers are known to have developed hybrids, most notably Victor Lemoine, while in 1857 the German Wilhelm Pfitzer listed 24 varieties. In 1861 the Royal Horticultural Society held trials in which 78 varieties were entered. The Scottish firm of John Forbes first offered penstemons in 1870, eventually becoming the biggest grower in the world; in 1884 their catalog listed 180 varieties. By 1900 Forbes had offered 550 varieties, while Lemoine had developed nearly 470 by the time of his death in 1911. Few of these have survived to the present day.
A number of different species have been used in the hybridization process, notably P. cobaeus and P. hartwegii.
In North America, penstemons are often used in xeriscape landscaping, as many are native to desert or alpine regions and thus quite hardy. One of the largest collections of penstemons in North America is found at The Arboretum at Flagstaff, Arizona, which hosts a Penstemon Festival each summer.[3]

Harry's Fresh Market is Whole FoodsPosted on 03 / 28 / 2015
So this store isn't branded Whole Foods. Instead it is called Harry's Fresh Market, but it's a Whole Foods.
They carry all the same vegan items, like Go Max Go, Earth Balance, Amy's, etc. They even carry 365 products.
It's a larger store than most Whole Foods and they have the hot bars, but there wasn't a great selection of vegan options at the deli or hot bar.
Cons: Confusing New Name


text: N writes: I hate Star Trek: The Video Game. I hate it so much. I just finished it and I'm still shaking at how revolting that ten hour experience was. I have no idea why this happened! No idea! Paramount was duplicitous in their role of providing high-quality Star Trek assets – namely, full access to the film's art and an original story that takes place between the two films – but they also turned a blind eye while developer Digital Extremes sewed this purely offensive experience together. Paramount said they didn't want this game to be merely 'movie tie-in merchandise' and they have failed. They have so fucking failed. I don't care how much you care about Kirk's new adventures, stay the hell away from this game. I am not kidding. 1/10

From the Technical Service Instructions for the Shimano Ultegra cassette, CS-6600
Forgetting the rather entertaining, "and the bicycle may fall over", and the rather silly, "in combination with a chainwheel" (What else would I do? Pull the chain with my toes?) they seem to be warning that by using one of these cassettes with a triple, there can be shifting problems.If using the CS-6600 (14-25T, 15-25T, 16-27T) in combination with a chainwheel, use a double chainwheel. If you use a triple chainwheel, gear shifting performance will drop, and the bicycle may fall over and serious injury will result.
What sort of shifting problems would result from using one of these cassettes on a 52/39/30 triple (Ultegra triple FD, 105-GS RD)? The bike came with a 12-27, FWIW.
The intended application, BTW, is when using my studded snow tires. I found last year that between the weight of the tires and slogging through slush, I spend a lot of time in the lower gears. With three and four tooth jumps between them, I never seemed to have just the right gear for any given condition.
I prefer close-ratio cassettes for three-season riding and wanted to try one in a lower range for this winter.

Nearly a decade ago, I treated a man named Abel, who was severely obsessive. He taught in a college communications program and loved words, but he'd become so obsessed with how human beings communicate that he could no longer put together words and meanings. He loved to read, but he could no longer concentrate because he obsessed about page margins and typefaces. He obsessed about art, sex, and his own writing. If one obsession went away, another took its place, from the moment he woke up till the moment ...

Jessica has just been told by her mother to stop watching TV and clean up the table. "Not now," Jessica says, without bothering to look up. "No, Jessica, I mean this minute," her mother says sharply. "Later," Jessica responds, almost absentmindedly. Mom stiffens and threatens: "Stop it now or there won't be TV tonight." Finally, she's got her daughter's attention. Jessica looks her mother squarely in the face and says, "Fuck you, mommy!" Jessica is 8years old.

I want to propose a new competition for therapists: awards for the worst experiences doing couples therapy. My own entry would be in the category of a worst experience as a new couples therapist in the first session. It was 26 years ago, but as they say, it feels like yesterday. As a graduate student, I'd done individual counseling before, and had worked with parents and kids, but had never worked with a couple. Thirty minutes into the first session, when I was lost in the midst of a meandering series of ...

By Ed BrockAn argument over who was buying beer led to a knife fight that left one man dead and the other covered in blood. Friends of Gaudencio Medina-Ocampo, 37, of Jonesboro Road last saw him and his roommate, Miguel Flores, 36, of Jonesboro around 9:30 p.m. Saturday night leaving for Corona's Pool Hall on Mt. Zion Road, according to a Clayton County police report. Around 5:22 a.m. another roommate of Medina-Ocampo woke up, saw that the side door to the house was open and upon investigating discovered Medina-Ocampo's body near the driveway. Around 8 a.m. officers went to Flores' brother's house on Whipporwill Way near Riverdale to question the brother but found Flores instead, Clayton County Assistant Police Chief Jeff Turner said. "He was covered in blood and sleeping in his pickup truck," Turner said. After arresting Flores, who is charged with murder, detectives learned that the two men had argued about who was going to buy the beer while at Corona's Pool Hall. They argued again in the driveway and they began fighting with knives. The witnesses said they had not heard any arguing between Medina-Ocampo and Flores prior to the killing. They said Flores was not a friend of Medina-Ocampo but the two liked to play pool.
