today i made hummus!
the recipe needs perfecting
and i tend to be harsh on myself when it comes to my cooking
the first batch was destroyed by too much olive oil & too much water
the second was a bit too lemony...
but i've been mowin' down on it all afternoon so it's really not that bad!
you can bet i'll be working to make it better...
here were my ingredients:
i had to laugh because after i concocted the first batch i went to walmart specifically to pick up a few more cans of garbanzo beans so i could try again... and of course, i got some other type of bean and then had to go to iga to get the right kind. this is why i'm a bad cook, people! i don't pay attention!
so the next time i make my hummus i'm going to use less of the lemon zest.. i believe i used about two lemons worth and it ended up being a bit too heavy. i also need to replace my pepper.. it's old! i'd also like to use fresh garlic! i've been watching youtube videos all afternoon about how to crush, chop, and smash garlic.
anyway... some exciting news i'll try to share tomorrow. today was pretty nice... i made hummus and cookies, bought a new steamer and some makeup, went to the doc and he's sending me to physical therapy for my shoulder and making me take medicine (i'm really proud of how little i've been relying on it lately), met some great girls at youth group tonight and had a lot of fun with the kids...
hope you are doing well and have a great rest of the week!
