In other news...I decided to try my hand at homemade hummus last night. I'd had a can of chickpeas in my cupboard for AGES, so when a friend told me how easy it was to make your own hummus, I bought some tahini and a fresh lemon and gave it a try. Three things...
1. I ran out of plain olive oil and had to use some dill olive oil I had in the cupboard
2. I'm so used to making things for Dad and skipping the salt because of his CHF that I omitted the salt in the recipe. Don't do that. Hummus really, REALLY needs at least a pinch of salt, preferably a good sea salt.
3. We have an ancient blender that I remember using to make milkshakes back when I was a pre-teen in the late 70s, plus I have a large, unwieldly food processor that I almost never use because it's a pain to assemble. I wasn't in the mood to drag out either (and then clean it later) so I went online to see if you can make hummus without a food processor or blender. You can; you can use a potato masher instead. So I did...it was WAY more work than I wanted to put into hummus and even after adding all the liquids (the olive oil, the lemon juice, a couple tablespoons of water), I still had hummus closer to the texture of crunchy peanut butter rather than creamy peanut butter. Oh well, it's still reasonably tasty, and I have some pita bread that's already gotten a couple tiny moldy spots that I need to eat up, so that's lunch today. But next time I want hummus, I'll just go to the gas station and get it like I usually do
