thoreau said this three times//chocolate cornflakes

i.e. the truest of hungers

i'm feelin a big nostalgic for my family

although i repeat to myself:

for in each day we live we also

die,

for what comes forth today is taken

tomorrow and what you seek

in your tomorrow already lives in your

today.

what you seek in your tomorrow already lives in your today.

heard from a steadfast soul,

who was found in a flighty meeting.

everything is flighty

except

you.

you can dictate an aura of eternity;

what you seek in your tomorrow already lives in your today.

smile, baby. live in it.

ANYWAY

this recipe is a family ritual. we craft its sophisticated components in a sophisticated manner with sophisticated snorts.

nevertheless, our sophistication cannot compete with that of its nature.

CHOCOLATE CORNFLAKES

there are literally two ingredients.

AHA i cite da Vinci.

***sweet validity and complacency of opinion***

Of course, da Vinci's persuasion is not unequivocal.

but is that DiGiorno pizza-carrying dog not simply acting on its instincts?

is the golden delinquent not exuding sophistication?

CHOCOLATE CORNFLAKES

is 

melting chocolate in a double-broiler and gradually stirring in cornflakes not simple?

and if it is simple, then, is it not

sophisticated?

in my opinion,

it is.

that is the recipe right there.

enjoy

editor's note: i was so swept away by the thought of simplicity that i rendered this recipe bogus.

i forgot to tell you to scoop heaps of the chocolate-covered cornflakes onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
and then to freeze them.
or just put them outside.

i just like this photo./do u have a can opener or what

i just like this photo

so

ok kids it's time to make ROSEMARY'S PUMPKIN BLACK BEAN BURGERS.

these burgers are dairy-free,

nut-free,

alpaca-free,

and laden with black beans.

i originally got the idea from a friendly gathering, where a lovely lady smashed her beans, sifted her flour, shredded her carrots and wielded her olive oil to the highest efficiency. 

at least this is my perception in the kitchen.

it's always so goddamn beautiful.

P.S.//her name wasn't rosemary.

but theres something so quaint about that name.

my mental picture of what it is to live like a rosemary:

plus i thought "rosemary's burgers" was a nice play on rosemary's baby.

which i've never seen but still feel comfortable desecrating horror with black bean burgers.

plus plus i put rosemary in my burgers you fool

here we go babies.

PUMPKIN BLACK BEAN ROSEMARY BURGERS

(yields 3 quaintly large burgers)

1 can black beans (haha i bet yours is expired)

3/4 cup flour (whatever kind of flour you desire! i combined oat flour and whole wheat flour)

1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling///im pretty sure you wouldn't have made the pie filling mistake anyway but recipes referencing canned pumpkin habitually warn against this mix-up so this is what im doing)

spinach, a handful if you want

some shredded carrot

olive oil

FREESTYLE your spices. i used jamaican curry, cumin, salt, black pepper, and frankly i don't recall any further

ROSEMARY if you can, any herbs or none at all. this could turn into BASIL'S or CILANTRO'S or THYME'S pumpkin black bean burgers. burgers in thyme.

i generally prefer thyme over time

INSTRUCCIONES

1.) grab a large bowl for me baby, will you?

2.) empty that bean can into a strainer, and rinse your salty nuggets.

3.) dump those freshly bathed beans into that hefty bowl you so kindly got for me thx that was really sweet 

4.) dumb that pumpkin on top

5.) mash 

6.) flour, please

7.) WATER

8.) check out your consistency. if it's too thick, more water; too goopy, more flour please. but i like goopy burgers so really, there is no right

9.) add your veggies if you got 'em, if not don't worry but don't tell mom

10.) SPICE/HERBS MANIA

11.) pour some olive oil into a pan; heat on medium high. (the more oil gives crunchier skins to the burgers, and truly ups the deliciousness i promise)

"fat gives things flavor" ~Julia Child <3 <3<3

12.) form patties with your hands, and throw em on. should be enough for 3 or 4 nicely-sized patties

13.) cook till crunchy n brown on both sides

im not going to tell you enjoy

thats salsa
