Tuesday I decided to give making hummus another try. Claire & Sean, thanks for the recipe! It's a Cook's Illustrated recipe for restaurant quality hummus. It actually turned out pretty well! I did notice that without mixing all of the ingredients in together and then blending made it a little more difficult to mix (the beans were spraying out of the bowl before I poured the tahini & olive oil in). Next time I might use the stand blender instead of the immersion blender, we'll see... All in all, pretty good! I think I put in a tad bit too much lemon, but otherwise it's quite tasty :) Next time I'll add in some roasted red peppers or roasted garlic depending on how adventuresome I feel.
Aunt Cathy, Steph, and I went for our ritual Thursday morning walk around Greenlake today. Great weather! Chels was at work so she couldn't join us, but we stopped in for a little visit to say hello to her. And now I am heading off to work, too, with delicious hummus for my lunch! (I realize hummus should be relatively easy to make because there are such few ingredients, but I've discovered it's actually easy to mess up! It's interesting how different it can taste depending on the ingredients and how you mix them together. I'm on my way to becoming a hummus-making expert!)
