The Devil and the Luther Burger

I like ice cream, with cashews...lots of cashews. I can eat ice cream and pizza, ice cream and hot dogs, Ice cream and any type of sandwich. And don't forget ice cream and lasagna. I guess you get the point.

.


My other love is cheeseburgers... with ice cream. And this is off the subject, but patty melts are a thing of beauty. Anyway, what I wanted to post about and which you might have read about is the mutated doughnut burger known by various names as the Luther burger and The Big Kahuna Doughnut Burger and Krispy Kreme Delux among other names. This travesty of meat contains, at a minimum 1500 calories! Something a true burgerologist would not even consider in his daily quaffing of burgers.


Now the hamburger may not be perfect, but with the proper accoutrements, it does come close to being the perfect combination of meat, vegetables and dairy served up in a most satisfying manner that pleases the palet and makes the taste buds sing.


The KKD (krispy Kreme Delux), however is something else entirely. It is evil. It's a cheeseburger possessed by demons. It's a cheeseburger in need of an exorcism, who's main objective in it's existence is to control your humanity. The people who created this monstrosity have only one goal in mind. To make you fat. To make you lethargic. To make you want more Luther burgers and before you know it, there'll be fast food chains of these abominations across the country, populated with obese people who can't think for themselves, whose only desire will be to work and make more money to buy more Luther burgers.


Stick with the original cheeseburger. Don't go over to the darkside. If you don't want to do this for your country, then do it for yourselves. All the wars, all the trade imbalances, all the jobs being shipped over seas would end in a matter of months if we exported only Luther burgers. This insideous blend of doughnut and meat would totally make our competitors on the world stage lackluster, fat, and impotent. In other words, a non threat. Something to think about.

Crazy Cantina Chili

Yield: Makes 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans
1 can (16 ounces) black beans
1 can (16 ounces) garbanzo beans
1 onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes with juice
1 cup tomato juice
salt and pepper to taste
shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream or plain yogurt

Preparation
Open the cans of beans. Drain off the liquid from the cans into the sink. Set the beans aside.

Put the onion on a cutting board. Carefully slice off the root end and the stem end. Use your fingers to strip off the dry skin. Then cut the onion in half from the top to the bottom. Hold an onion half cut side down and thinly slice it crosswise. Now hold the slices together and cut across them in the opposite direction. Be sure to keep your fingers clear of the knife blade. Set aside.

Put the oil in a large saucepan. Set the pan on the stove and switch on the heat to medium-high. When the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and stir with the wooden spoon until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add the chili powder and cayenne pepper and stir for 30 seconds.

Add the beans, the crushed tomatoes, and the tomato juice. Stir well. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve the chili with the cheese and sour cream on the side.
