Veggie burgers are really good when they're done right. Get the patty crispy. Have the right toppings. Toast the bun. You gotta toast that bun.


There's probably a baked good or two hanging out on the counter in the event that an alien friend stops by and is famished. I usually pop a cookie or muffin that's out on the counter when I first get in the door, to provide sustenance while I get into comfy clothes and then start cooking a real meal. Maybe the alien could have one of these while I crisp up the patties and get the accoutrements set up for the burgers. Or they could have one after dinner for dessert, like a normal alien.
