Hommus (& cya suckers)

I promised Smiley I'd send her my hommus....... recipe for lack of better term for throwing stuff in a blender in quantities that tickle my tastebuds. So why not share.

Please note all quantities are pretty much plucked from thin air. Make it how you like it. Add chilli flakes if you can hack it (ps they get hotter day by day), throw in Cajun Spice mix if you like it hot, who the hell cares, you're eating it.

1 425(?)g Chickpeas, drained
50ml boiling water
1 tablespoon tahini (usually lives in the healthfood aisle, sesame seed paste)
2 tablespoons Fresh (or bottled) lemon or lime juice (pick your fave)
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
Pinch of salt (entirely optional)
1 teaspoon ground Cummin
1 teaspoon ground Coriander
Cracked Pepper to taste
(optional added extras... ie if you have them hanging about they could just make your day)
Freshly chopped coriander (even if it does come out of the tube for those as lazy as me)
Cummin or Coriander seeds
Chilli Flakes
Cajun Spices (usually best put in before cummin/coriander, easier to balance flavour that way)

Dump the lot in a blending receptacle of some description and blend til it tastes delicious but is still slightly lumpy... texture is a good thing people.

Taste, add stuff at will, blend some more... etc etc til ur tastebuds are tingling and you have the insane urge to stuff hommus in your mouth until the whole thing is empty.
PS this stuff needs no oil to preserve, will last about a week in the fridge (if'n you don't pig out on it long before then, if it's in the fridge that long you made it wrong).

Recipe idea: Use it instead of tomato paste on a pizza with some Dukkha chicken and roasted capsicum and other yummies, absolutely divine.

Must sod off, clothes are packed and house is in state of utter shambles.

Cop ya in a week peoples!!!

Stuff & Nonsense, Divinity & Borinness

Well, I've been approaching death with quietness, this much is true.

Leaving home at 9.30am and barely making it home by 12.30am will do that to ya. As will volunteering to house sit (and dog, cat, spa & more importantly CAR sit).... Trying to blog from dial up hell is a less than pleasant way to spend time.

The upsides of life are these:

1. I have a car!!! God how I've missed her. I had to take her for a quick shopping expedition then home, so she wasn't exhausted or feeling neglected.
   
2. I'm on Holidays (for 2 whole divine weeks, including a week toddling from Adelaide to Melbourne via the Great Ocean Road)
3. Results day at the gym went well, more kg's that have gone awol, more cm's of me that have seemingly melted away. Relieving seeing as I've had transport issues, girlfriends visiting and gourmet meals here there and everywhere.
4. Took Skaed out for a gastronomic orgasm the other night, and his boss paid for it... value!

The crap sides (all happening to other people....... sorry guys, it's not often I actually have all good stuffs going on at once)

1. Smiley didn't get the job we were dying for her to get on the Sunshine Coast. Buttheads
2. SexBomb took a dive yesterday at the shops after too much dancing and not enough food/water.... silly muffin, EAT AND DRINK woman, I'll be there to monitor your progress bloody soon.

I also had some great random thoughts through the week.... well they wre great at the time, now they're more vague recollections.
I know 'what does human flesh taste like?' was a contender, but beyond that....farknose.

Must attempt being crafty and skankify some clothes for Ma & Pa to dress up as hookers at the party while i'm away. Dad's going for a black above the knee skirt with one side ruched up pretty much to the waist. Mum's is a pink snakeskin beauty we're going to slit up both sides pretty much to ass level. Funny how sewing actually has a (small) amusement level when used for Pimp & Prostitute amusement.

Am contemplating taking the lawn mower for a walk in the sunshine...... just so not in the mood for gritty sweaty cleavage.
