Bean burgers and Granny?


Let me start off by saying that my granny is in no wise a trendy eater!! She wants her burgers plain and containing meat-simple. She just turned 89 last weekend and is quite the lady,I like to call her "Miss Hell on Wheels"-haha!! She didn't particularly favor the sweet and sour chicken I gave her for lunch so I offered her a bowl of peaches which she readily received. As I went into the kitchen pondering what we would have for dinner I thought why not continue the fresh veggie burger trend and fix something different from yesterday (falafel burgers-so goooood!!!). So I got out a large can of blackbeansand decided to do a mexican style one.I added jarred pimentoes,minced garlic,fresh onion, and spices-quite good,keep in mind that when I was processing the mixture I had absolutely no idea what a treat I would soon be in store for. I fixed the burgers and dressed them with a funky salsa-mayo, and w/the usual toppings of course-fresh spinach leaves,white onion,tomatoe,and alittle sharp cheddar. They looked and smelled devine,so as I bite in I decided to ask,if my princess would try one-knowing for sure that she would flat out refuse the offer,but wait,did I hear a "YES",and to top it all off she not only ate all of her burger,onions, spinach sauce and all,she told me several times that it was really good, wish you could see me blushing-that's my granny-full of suprises!!!
