Mar. 19th, 2006 08:22 pmSo now and then in a hummus thread, someone will say that the way to
get really smooth hummus is to peel the garbanzos.
Yeah. As if.
Anyway, today I was stressing about getting all the housework and
cooking done in time forsogwife's surprise birthday party. The
garbanzos were done cooking and I noticed that maybe thirty of the
peels had come off and were floating on top of the cooked beans.
Suddenly, in a blinding flash of enlightenment (ha!), I decided that
the way to unstress about the time/work/cooking thing would be to step
back, sit down, and take a half hour to peel garbanzos.
So I did.
It did indeed take a half hour, it was pleasant and meditative work,
and it did indeed make the smoothest hummus I've ever made. If I ever
feel like I have the time to spare, I'll probably do it again.
I'm amused that the pile of peels was almost as big as the pile of
peeled beans. See?

Mar. 19th, 2006 08:42 pmI love my family. I love my friends. I really like our new neighbors. I am so glad that sogwife seems to have enjoyed her surprise, even if it did people us both out. Thanks to tracytreefrog, ptigris, pure_agnostic, and his utterly charming child, for coming so far to share our day and our table. I am so lucky.
