Variation: The George Voinovich Pita sandwich: Pack 1/2 pita with hummus, sprouts, sliced avocado, sliced tomato, and two scoops of self-serving bullshit. Garnish with tabouli salad.*
Hummus… mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I love Hummus.
Hey, isnt there supposed to be some tahini in here someplace?
I seem to remember Condi Rice’s confirmation hearings to be quite contentious.
Drat I don’t have any way to measure the lemon juice, I must’ve bought a cheap measuring cup set.
Now what?
Alpha, I think the sesame oil replaces the tahini (sesame seed paste) and the oil found in some hummus recipes.
My favorite Hummus recipe is to toast a piece of flatbread – then smother is with hummus, tomatoes, and onions. Yum. Of course, just dipping pretzels in it is good too.
Mine is simpler, just chick peas, lemon, garlic, salt, olive oil, tahini, and water as needed for texture,but my Arab neighbor teases his wife that it’s better than hers.
Spamword soon, as in soon she’ll kick his butt for dissing her.
Bill Clinton says there’s nothing like a good hummus.
At least, that’s what I think he said.
I’d say there is a new name in the senate today. Voinobitch the SOB. Seems to fit.
That is so weird! I had hummus for dinner tonight. How about your baba ganouj recipe?
Tell me where you can get the self serving bullshit again. I forgot.
word enough, as in please I’ve had
