This is true. I've never made hummus, because I consider store-bought
hummus a convenience food. The TJ's organic hummus is really
quite good, and I doubt I could make it turn out any better,
and I have a real potential barrier to doing anything requiring
using (and therefore cleaning) the food processor.

I am however perfectly happy to boil up some garbanozo's
and eat a bowl of them instead.
