If you cover that thing up, or maybe spray it with some febreeze, it
might not attract them coons and possums. They have a keen sense of smell.

In that case, why don't you stop and eat something? There's always
room for more.

I just gave him a celery rib with hummus. Would you like one too? I didn't
make the hummus. It's Kirkland, Organic.

The last time I had any was late 70's or maybe early 80's. That stuff never
did a thing for me except to give me the munchies. That's the last thing I
need.

I like hummus. I use it as butter and we make our own on a good day.

I don't know why anyone would buy hummus. It is cheap and easy to make,
and it always tastes better than the commercial stuff.

I tried commercial hummus once. From Trader Joe's. It was highly
recommended from someone here. Nasty stuff and a waste of money.

Also recommended here once was their "Triple ginger snaps" with
the tiny dollup of candied ginger on top. Good enough but still
not all that and overpriced. I still use that old container for
my cookie jar now though.

Been to Trader Joe's twice and 2 strikes. Probably won't ever go
again.
Never been to Whole Foods either but I won't comment until I do
try it.

I've never found a commerical hummus that tasted good, and as pointed out,
very easy to make.

I have had a couple commercially made hummus products recently that
weren't too bad, but more often they were horrible. I remember once
being offered a sample in the grocery store and it was so horrible that
I had to wonder why they would be letting people know how bad it was
because I could not imagine people buy it after having eaten a sample.

I discovered good hummus in a middle eastern restaurant that my son took
me to. After see how good it could be I decided to try making it. It was
so easy, and it was so good.

In the time you took to read that and post a reply you could have
made a batch.

I think it would take me 10 minutes to make hummus. And then 5 to
clean up. It's very doable, but I still don't always get around to it.

I bought a small container and liked it, so learned to make it.

I went to TJ's twice. Second trip was 2 too many.

Whole foods is a yes for me though. It's due to only 2 main things
that has me driver there.

1) unique flours for bread making at the least expensive price
2) fancy ends of various cheeses you don't see elsewhere, cut to small
affordable taste tests.

If i am there for those things, I will also get some of the fresh
veggies and fruits

You probably saved a bundle, and ended up with much better hummus.

And it's so cheap to make it yourself.

There's a little "gourmet" place near me that sells a home-made type
hummus in 250 ml (1 cup) tubs. I say home-made because the lid has a
label that looks like it was done up on someone's home printer.

Anyway, it's all natural, vegan, organic, etc, justifying the $5 they
want for it.

But are you sure the beans were free range vegetables?
And were they certified non gmo?
Did the farm hands that harvest them smoke? That's a real killer for
special foods.
Did the various gods bless the humus after packaging?

For me, it's something I eat when I need something quick and/or grab and go.
I get the little cups.

My mom made some once. Not sure what she did wrong but it was inedible.

I made TJ's polenta for dinner tonight. It tasted fine but seemed oddly more
filling than the kind I usually buy.

If you have the ingredients perhaps. Tahini is pretty expensive and I don't
want to store it. I don't eat hummus often so when I want it, I buy it. Just
not the Sabra. That's disgusting.

I'm denying what you said, yeah. I'd say that most adults smoked it at least
once during the time frame that I mentioned. Smoking it a few times doesn't
make you a pothead.

It's not and I've never bought bad hummus yet. I prefer to make my
own, but sometimes life gets in the way. I might not have time to make
it, because I have to reply to Cshenkie or Dave Smith, for instance.

Because I have better things to do.

We have a large Middle Eastern population hereabouts, and some of the
commercial hummus is quite good.

Yes, but first i just wanted to try it when all the buzz started.

Now I make all sorts of variations that suit us well. Some may not
technically be Hummus? Can lentils be hummus? If so then that's what
I have making up right now. Out a lb on to simmer with tandoori
seasoning (suits us).

Go a bit more to the fancier side and it would be Dal.

Well in my case, I got a small tub to see if I would like it. I did
then I looked up recipes and started making it. That was probably 5
years ago and have a fair number of variations now that we like.

Since we make beans from dried all the time here, it's a natural leap
to sift out some and toss in the old blender to pulse lightly.

Tahini is just roasted sesame seeds and olive oil, tossed in the
blender then you add the beans. Not all hummus types use tahini.

Technically, no, because "hummus" is the word for "chickpeas". The
full name of the dish is "hummus bi tahini". Chickpeas with tahini.

What would RFC Facebook say about this?
Steve is wasting valuable mirror time
