The Garlic: Veggie Burger Tragically Falls Through Grill

Topeka, KS- BREAKING NEWS A veggie burger tragically fell through the grill at Angelina Kelly’s end of summer backyard barbecue. News reports are not yet able to confirm if it was a store bought or homemade veggie burger but it is known that it broke while being flipped and the smaller side slid onto the coals below. As Angelina tried to rescue the other half, it slipped from the spatula and also fell into the fire.

Ms. Kelly has reportedly returned to the house, possibly to get another veggie burger and some foil. Details to come.

Food That Looks Like My Cat: Seitan Burgers

I love Joni Marie Newman’s seitan burgers from her book The Best Veggie Burgers on the Planet. We make them often and I noticed they might qualify as a food that looks like my cat. These are super simple to mix up and bake and they always turn out great. Sometimes I stuff them with cheese and bacos but more often these days I just make them plain and load up on the toppings. For the purposes of making food that looks like my cat, I just put the burger on my standard whole wheat bun.

Shout out to brown food! Although George was willing to sit with the seitan burger, George did not appear very interested in it. However, the seitan burger is indeed a food that looks like my cat.

Awkward Food Photos Veggie Burger Mix

If you are a connoisseur of a good veggie burger as I am, then you know a burger mix is not always the most food photogenic thing one ever did see. I recently got Chloe Coscarelli’s Chloe’s Kitchen from my local public library and was immediately intrigued by her double double drive thru burgers. I like tempeh and I like lentils, so I decided to give it a whirl.

This is a super easy burger recipe to put together, but does require a food processor. You basically mix all the ingredients in the processor until it comes together into a mix that can be formed into patties and pan fried. Simple! But that burger mix turns a light shade of gray-brown and looks like a pile of mush when it comes time to document it for the blog.

This photo needs help!

Photograph that Rubbermaid container on a slab of wood! Remember, wood is good! If you have a rustic wooden background, it will completely complement that burger patty mix. Look at it pop! The juxtaposition is striking. Try it with your awkward food photos!
