These two have beautiful lines, and the music is fantastic. Just ignore the chatter, if you can. :)

So, I was all rockin' it out on the second sleeve of TD, when this happened:

Yeah, Mary climbed inside and claimed it for her own. Apparently Eco + is warm and cozy. Right now she is trying to apply the principles of felting by taking a bath inside the sweater. Hrm.

Well I following through with my dinner plan and made the Ultimate Veggie Burgers, and... success! You start with some chickpeas:

These were some dried organic ones, but don't they look fresh? I soaked them overnight, drained them in the morning and refrigerated, then simmered over very low heat for about an hour. Note to self: 1/2 cup of dried chickpeas yields about 1 1/2 cups rehydrated.

Then I processed them in the food processor with some other stuff and mixed in a bowl with yet other stuff:

Then you add some other things (sprouts and breadcrumbs) and fry them up! I put them in the fridge to flatten them more easily and evenly. I made a half batch too, in case I didn't like them, but boy, I should have done the full amount. The sandwiches they make are petite (two would make a meal, or one with a side) and are really pretty to boot:

Sprouts, sprouts and more sprouts, because now I have a big bag I have to eat up right quick. But yum, you must try this. I am extremely tempted to buy Heidi's book now (Super Natural Cooking). Ah, the power of a freebie.

One more exciting thing happened on this morning:

Maybe tomorrow there will be a flower? 

That's it for me. DST still sucks, and is sucking the life out of me, and I now have two comfy kitties half on top of me. Actually, I am witnessing kitty history: Lily is half on top of Mary and no biting is happening!
