In Mikey’s own words: “I’ve had so many lives that it’s hard to just write about the current one, but I’ll try. I was born a long time ago in the realm of the fairies. You might know it as Long Island. Anywhooo after I saved the world from destruction by the Noid in the late ’80s I decided to go into semi-retirement. I now spend most of my time watching 30 Rock, The Catherine Tate Show and anything else that is available streaming on Netflix. When I’m not doing that, I have a job.” Mikey’s secret weapons include “metaphors and thesauri,” as well as a never-ending supply of cheese balls, a really smart boyfriend, an incredibly long tongue and the ability to lick ginger pussy better than anyone else.

Thanks to Mikey & Michelle M. for your assistance with this post!
Like every other gay person on the planet (or so it seemed — ugh! crowds!), I attended the NYC Pride Parade on Sunday. And guess what? I brought my camera! Here’s a whole bunch of photos…
(gay stormtrooper)
Old gay people on motorcycles!
Michael Bloomberg, Andrew Cuomo, and Sandra Lee.
(In case you’ve forgotten … that Sandra Lee.)
Dan Savage & Terry Miller
He thinks that he’s bringing back “raise the roof!“ What do you think?
Rickie Vasquez Wilson Cruz travels in a horse-drawn carriage!
A gay pride … of lions. Get it?
Yuck!
NY Senator Chuck Schumer
Meh, Obama.
Yuck! Topless girls!
And finally … it’s Zac Young from Top Chef: Just Desserts!
Too bad that I didn’t get a photo of the front of his head.
There’s one more photo that you’re going to love … but you can’t see it until Saturday.
No pork. No seafood. No cheese. No tofu, mayonnaise, yogurt, eggs, horseradish, mustard, mushrooms, etc., etc. I’m a little picky when it comes to food. Harry and I have determined that if I ever had a cooking show it would be called “The Unadventurous Eater.” I’m always on the lookout for new recipes with ingredients that don’t gross me out. So when Adam told me about his Black Beanie Burgers – Mr. Sombrero Approved! I couldn’t wait to try out the recipe. Here it is:
2 15oz cans of black beans, rinsed and drained
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, minced
2 tsp. Creole seasoning
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup flour
1 cup frozen corn
optional: Add some hot pepper seeds or cayenne pepper to give them some extra flavor.Makes about 10-12 burgers (depending on how big u make your patties).
Mix and smoosh (works best if you use your hands) all ingredients. Form into patties and freeze for a few hours or until they’re fully frozen. If you’re in a big rush, don’t bother freezing them and just throw them on the grill — but they stay together better if you freeze em first.
Cook frozen patty on a George Forman-style grill or frying pan with a little bit of olive oil spray until they brown a bit (maybe 10 minutes? I’ve never really timed it). I liked to squish them a little in the GF grill about 1/2 way through.
Suggested topping: grilled cubanelle or bell peppers, grilled mushrooms, lettuce and a smear of roasted red pepper hummus. Serve on a toasted English muffin instead of a hamburger roll. Mmmm.
When I cook, I like to put on some music. I thought Adam Ant would be appropriate, but I don’t have any on my player, so I put on some Andy Gibb. Adam, Andy, whatever.
Next I had Harry pour me some wine. When I cook, I also like to drink. Harry is having a beer, because as he says, “If you’re not drinking with me, you’re drinking against me.” When Harry is hungry his eyes turn red. And stop looking at our brown lawn. That’s going to be replaced this summer after we tear out the patio.
Here I am enjoying my beloved Beringer’s in a plastic champagne glass. Klassy! I do have fancy wine glasses, but I have to hand wash them and that is just too much for me to deal with. Cheers!
Here are the ingredients. I bought the Creole seasoning especially for this recipe. Speaking of Creole, I just finished watching season 1 and 2 of True Blood. My favorite character is Lafayette! Isn’t he the best? LOVE him!
Exactly! HBO is free for us this weekend, so I get to watch Season 3. By the time you read this I will have had a True Blood pajama marathon! It’s good to be me.
How big is a small onion anyway? The store pretty much has one size. So I just cut it in two and used half.
Doesn’t this look delicious? The smooshing was fun.
Balls! Tee hee. After I flattened them, I froze them for about 2 hours.
If you don’t have a George Foreman grill, I highly recommend one.
Here is Harry assembling his burger. He put everything Adam suggested on his. I skipped the mushrooms, peppers and hummus (I don’t like tahini). Luckily for Harry and for Adam, the hummus was not too garlicky and Harry didn’t have to sleep on the couch. Yay!
Here is the beauty shot. I also made sweet potato fries and steamed some broccoli. So what did we think of Adam’s Beanie Burgers – Mr Sombrero approved!?
*Yes we eat on tv trays. Once again, keeping it Klassy.
They were terrific! I think next time I make them, I’ll put in a little more cayenne pepper. We like it spicy. I might also see what happens if I put in a little less flour. But in all, Adam’s Beanie Burgers – Mr. Sombrero approved! were delicious. They taste great, are easy to make (not much prep work is needed), are super healthy and are very versatile. The next day Harry put one on a tortilla and I had my burger with barbecue sauce, chips and a pickle. I’m going to try one tomorrow with salsa.
*That’s berry flavored iced tea (yuck). I totally had more chips than are in the photo. I didn’t want to look like a pig.
On my peas in a pod scale, I give Adam’s recipe 5 peas in a pod! Thanks Adam!
If you have a recipe for me to try (that doesn’t include any yucky ingredients) send it to me and I’ll make it and rate it next time on “The Unadventurous Eater”!
If the results of this week’s Cocky & Rude Fight Club are any indication, the United States should just fling open its borders and never look back. Or at least on the Mexico side … we’re not quite sure about those Canadians just yet. In this week’s Fight Club bout, we saw Mr. Sombrero face off against a Redneck Border Patrolman. Mr. Sombrero DESTROYED the Minuteman with no effort at all — as soon as we started the fight, the hate-spewing, Sarah Palin lover ran back home to Texas and hid under his bed. Mr. Sombrero won with an amazing 151 votes (that’s 99% of the popular vote); the Redneck earned only 2 votes (1% of the popular vote). C&R voters came out in force this week — it’s the most votes for a single Fight Club bout we’ve seen since our second battle, where Captain Kirk defeated the disgraced blogger, Craig.
Congratulations, Mr. Sombrero!
