Another KERF reader friend visited today and brought me beer from Charleston!! I’m really loving this current trend
We can’t wait to try it!
Siggi’s!! I bought a few of these to keep at the bakery for healthy snacktime. Topped with some cluster!
We had a great day of sales today – we sold out of all but two loaves of bread!!
I biked home at 6:30 to find Karen on our porch swing halfway through a bottle of wine! We had big plans for our burger night. I poured myself a glass to join her and managed to snap a photo before it was almost gone!
The burgers tonight were delish! We went vegetarian this week:
They were black bean + mushroom + garlic burgers (I add the garlic because it was stra-ong!). Don’t have a recipe to share because we didn’t think they were the best burgers ever. They fell apart on us a bit.
Avocado does a burger make.
On the side: sauteed brussels sprouts with blue d’auvergne (dough-vair-gna, right!?)
Watermelon for dessert!
My shoulders are SO sore from handstands and lots of down dog today. I convinced Matt to massage them while I worked on my post and we listed to the best movie tunes ever.
Although the session began with the Olympic Fanfare – one of us started whistling it and it caught on!
These are my top 5 favorite movie themes in order. What are your favorites?
5) E.T. + Jurassic Park (a tie for 5th place!)
4) Home Alone + Harry Potter (a tie for 4th!)
3) Lord of the Rings
2) Independence Day
1) Pirates of the Caribbean!!
Hillary says
1. Put avocado on anything and I’ll eat it.
2. Titanic! Obviously! ; )
KathEats says
I forgot about Titanic!! DEFINITELY in the top 10!
Janice Smith says
This is the second reference to Titanic I’ve seen online this morning… weird how it’s on everyone’s minds 🙂
Katherine says
I have made a portabello burger just like this once!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I love the Harry Potter music! It came on my Pandora station when I was running yesterday- it’s kind of weird music to run to but I love it 🙂
Katherina @ Zephyr Runs says
I actively seek Harry Potter music, it’s great 😛 Hedwig’s Theme is the best!
Anna says
there was an article on CNN that today is national watermelon day!
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food says
oh my goodness the burger plus bun combo looks amazing! 🙂
Safe travels! 🙂
Casey @ Pocket Full of Sunshine says
Definitely a big fan of the Harry Potter theme. And Titanic, of course. *Never let go* (hehe)
Kristy says
THE MISSION is the greatest movie score of all time. Heartbreakingly gorgeous!
Donna @ Life of a Happy Blonde says
I still need to try avocado on a burger and Jurassic Park all the way 🙂 🙂 🙂
Becca says
How weird is this: for dinner tonight I had a homemade black bean burger, served on a whole grain/seedy bun, and I had roasted brussel sprouts on the side… all which took place well before checkin’ out KERF. TOO WEIRD!
Kinley says
My favorite movie themes are:
1) Pride and Prejudice (love anything Jane Austen, really!)
2) Twilight
3) Harry Potter, especially 7.1 and 7.2!
4) Back to the Future (love Michael J. Fox in these movies)
5) The Proposal (totally makes me want to go to Alaska!)
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I had a lot of guac today – so it was an avocado kind of day! Great job on the good sales today!
Kristen, Sweetly says
Ohhhh, I’m swooning over that mashed avocado on your burger. Why has it been so long since I’ve bought an avocado?!? Sheesh.
Tessa @ Amazing Asset says
Yay nice job on the sales today 🙂
How do I forget the wonders of avocados?! Must eat one soon!
Titanic and The Lion King!
Emma @ Microcosm of Life says
I dig the burger-to-avocado ratio. I wonder if avocado burgers are a thing.
Cait @ Cait hates Cake says
I had black bean burgers tonight too! And now I wish I had used the avocado I have like you did.
Christine says
Pirates!! My roommate and I would listen to it all the time in college.
CheezyK says
Avocado most certainly does a burger make! Love it …
Favourite movie score has to be The Princess Bride. Although I don’t like the lyrics to the main song, the music is beautiful – Mark Knopfler is something else on the guitar
Jennifer says
I’m partial to the movie Grease myself. 🙂 Love it! I’m probably giving my age away now. (haha) Have a safe trip tomorrow.
Erin says
Me too! And so does my 8-year-old.
Sylvia @ My Attempt at Balanced Living says
I loved the soundtrack to the Lord of the Rings. I have all three on CD! Have you seen the movie The Holiday? There’s a pretty funny scene with Jack Black singing the scores to a bunch of different movies in the middle of Blockbuster 🙂
Karis (Karis' Kitchen) says
Love that scene in The Holiday!!
Amanda (The Nutritionist Reviews) says
I love Siggis but the closest place that it is sold is almost 3 hours away : (
And avacado on a burger is incredible.
Laura @ Cookies vs. Carrots says
Whenever I make veggies burger, the patties seem to fall apart. Any tips for getting them to stay together?
I would add basically any disney movie to your list of movie tunes 🙂
KathEats says
You need to process the beans in a food processor and make it more of a paste
Cait's Plate says
Agreed that avocado makes a burger. And those burgers (crumbly or not) look pretty incredible to me.
Movie-wise I’m gonna have to go (in no order):
1) Shawshank Redemption
2) Hocus Pocus ( 🙂 )
3) A Christmas Carol (any version…including the Muppets)
4) Love Actually
5) Harry Potter + Home Alone (stealing this from you because it was a good one!)
Can you tell I’m a freak about holidays??
I want those brussel sprouts.
Okay I’m done now!
Margo @ Peanut Butter Trees says
Those burger buns look phenom! And I love avocado on burgers.
robin says
1)-Hope Floats 2)-Heartburn 3)-Fatso 4)-Juno 5)-Castaway
Amanda says
I believe “d’auvergne” would actually be “dough-vehrn”, no “gna” 🙂
Amanda says
No… I stand corrected! I just checked with French friend! You were right!
KathEats says
WHEW!
Maren says
I wish it was hot in the summer where I live. I’d be outside and enjoying summer favorites like burgers so much more.
cathy says
congrats on the great sales day!
nothing beats STAR WARS!!!

Forrest Gump! that was a good one. Feather floating!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says

Kath, I’m a huge John Williams fan, too! My absolute favorites
would definitely be Jurassic Park ( so epic and inspiring!) and Schindler’s List (in violin or piano–so
pensive!).

Love the Schindler’s List theme song. It’s beautiful. Our school orchestra learned it for a performance. I also love the music in Little Shop of Horrors and Yentl (love Barbra Striesand sp?)!
Shayla @ The Good Life says
I absolutely love avocado…I can’t believe a couple years ago I used to hate it!
I may be ridiculed for saying this but I have to say Clueless!!! My all time favorite movie when I was 13 and still is to this day…now I got the intro song running through my head! 🙂
Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
Veggie burgers are totally that one meal item that is SO difficult to write out a recipe for! The options are endless and they are so versatile. Though yours fell apart they look delish!

I have a FT job, a FT kiddo, a FT blog, house, hubs, etc…and oh yes a full google reader. Movies fell off the to-do list 🙂
Cant wait to see you!
Svava says
SKYR! I can´t believe it! I am icelandic but live in the UK and when I go home I usually spend my time gorging on the stuff. I don´t understand why it isn´t mass produced everywhere as it is by far a superiour dairy product to any type of yogurts of any kind. My mum makes the most wonderful bluberry skyr “cheese”cake out of it as well. Healthy and delish.
Kori says
I LOVE the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack!! I also think that Braveheart had some beautiful songs. During my last 8th grade band concert, I had earned the right to play a solo from the Braveheart soundtrack, and I loved it!
Tonya says
Across the Universe 🙂 If you’ve never seen it you should. Beatles musical, incredibly beautiful movie to watch.
Erin says
Last of the Mohicans is the best!!
Sophie says
I love the Cold Mountain (Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellwegger) soundtrack! Of course, most of you are probably too young to remember that!
KathEats says
I LOVE Cold Mountain!!
Tonya says
I agree, great soundtrack =) I live in western NC and am HIKING Cold Mountain this weekend.
Kate says
Pirates of the Carribbean is my favorite as well! Lord of the Rings is also pretty awesome…
I’m guessing those delicious looking burger buns are another bakery product – I’m going to have to visit your bakery and try all these delicious breads next time I’m in Charlottesville!
The best burgers says
Veggie Burgers nowdays more popular than other Burgers beacause people are more health conscious,so it take low fats.
Hannah says
I can’t believe I’ve never put cheese with my brussels sprouts before!!!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Mmm yes, avocado always takes a burger to the next level!
My favourite movie themes are HP, Lord of the Rings, and Pride & Prejudice (Kiera Knightley version).
AnnieR says
”On the side: sauteed brussels sprouts with blue d’auvergne (dough-vair-gna, right!?)”
Hi!
I am french, well from Montreal. And it is more like | dough-vair-gn |
no ‘a’ at the end.
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
Love the movie theme discussion! I listen to Pandora’s Film Scores Radio all day at work 🙂
The Braveheart theme is on now!!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
I would also add “UP” 🙂
Nikki says
Movies that have awesome music:
-Gladiator

Actually anything Hans Zimmer is how that list is going.
The burgers look amazing despite the fact they fell apart.

J’ai pensé que tu aimerais bien ce lien.
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
Last of the Mohicans tops my list for favorite movie score, definitely.
I was the geeky kid at age 14 (when the movie came out) that had the soundtrack. 🙂
I still love it, to this day. Living in the NC Mtns, and working for the Biltmore made me love it EVEN more as an adult.
I”m in love with your smashed avocado! Mmm.

Julie @ Sugarfoot Eats says
That bun looks great!!
Ali G. says
I love adding Amy’s black bean refried beans to my hommeade black bean burger mix, AH-MAZING!
Angel7 says
The brussel sprouts look perfectly el dente and good! Love the bleu cheese!
http://faithfulsolutions.blogspot.com/
Sara says
This doesn’t fall in the best theme song, but the whole Dances With Wolves soundtrack is great. I think it really captures the grandeur of the Great Plains. (and full disclosure – I’m from Nebraska, so I may be biased!) 🙂
Barbara says
The soundtrack to Chocolat. Absolutely the best music to cook to!
Angelea says
I had a turkey burger last night…no cheese or condiments needed, just avocado and green chilies. Love green chilies!

Mmm I’ve been eating avocado on almost *everything* lately … my most recent avocadobsession mashing up a little cado with lemon juice, cayenne pepper, s&p, and spreading it over a cheesed-up (I use daiya) microwaved sweet potato for a great little meal!! Mmm 🙂
Erica says
Peter Pan (the human version with cute ole Jeremy Sumpter)
NARNIA
National Treasure
Your burgers look amazing, as does the avocado!
Lauren @ MRS says
I’ve never seen a healthy-burger looked so delectable! Makes me want to try it. My fave movie theme would be HP hands down, all you need are robes and school girl clothes, and I’ve always wanted to look like a wizard.lols
Lauri (Redheadrecipes.com) says
Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean are definitely in my top 5!!!
Lele says
