my girlfriend's a vegetarian. Not one of those 'i saw a movie about slaughterhouses' vegetarians or 'i smoke a lot of pot and think i'm one with the planet vegetarians' or any of the like. The Cat Mom has been a vegetarian since she was six. That's commitment, pal...
so, as Quentin Tarantino once wrote in regards to vegetarian girlfriends, that "basically makes me a vegetarian." Not quite. You might recall my love of a certain sandwich. But if i plan on spending the rest of my life with this woman i should know something about cooking for a vegetarian. Enter the beet burger...
beets get a bad rap. i think most people realize that beets are a one of the best things you can eat. They stimulate the blood, clean the kidneys, liver and urinary tract along with things that all vegetables do like fight infection and promote cell growth and what not.

wheat germ—1/2 cup
two pieces of wheat toast—blend the toast with the wheat germ and mix in with the cooked and cooled millet.
blend the vegetables together and add to the millet. Mix well, let it sit in the frig for an hour, break it out make patties and enjoy. i get up to six patties.
cook them with a little oil and enjoy the shit of them. i had them with double fiber english muffins, which were kick ass, and a little mustard—because i love mustard...
do yourself a favor and eat some beets once and a while, or any vegetable and if you won't take it from me, take it from Frank...
