Dinner: Black Bean Burger, Salad, Potato Chips

Made a black bean burger from scratch for the first time ever. There's probably a recipe somewhere that would have made it better, but mine turned out pretty good for the first time. Mashed some canned black beans up with wheat gluten flour and some chopped up jalapeno and habanero. Then formed it into a patty. Then threw it onto the frying pan. It's a nice day, kind of wished I'd bought that barbecue when I was at the Home Depot the other day. But frying pan it was.

Sauteed some red onion and more jalapeno, which went onto the burger along with Cabot cheddar, tomato, lettuce, and some mayonnaise. Put it all between two slices of Hungry Ghost French. Yum!!!

Salad was spinach and lettuce with a slice of ripened chevre and little piles of tomato chunks and garbanzos. Dressed with Newman's Family Recipe Italian.

And a little pile of Kettle Chips, Buffalo Bleu flavor, all the way from Salem OR.

Ate outside as consolation prize for not grilling the burger.

Recommended pairing: Long Trail IPA followed by a trip to Hugo's to watch the baseball game.
