Hummus

I love hummus.

When I was living in the US, I would regularly buy containers of hummus and plow through them; eating the entire container in one sitting along with some carrots, crackers or whatever else was on hand. It’s super tasty and it’s a relatively healthy snack (or meal!), but it can get pretty expensive if you consume as much as I used to.

I don’t know why it never occurred to me to make my own at home.. although honestly, I wasn’t making much food from scratch back in those days.

Now that I’m living in Warsaw, hummus is a little more difficult to find, but a few shops do carry it. It’s even more expensive here though at about 15zł ($5-ish) for a small container.

Because our apartment here is outfitted with a blender, and because I knew where to locate I decided to start making my own hummus.

For less than the price of one small container, I can make twice as much fresh hummus, plus buy yummy things to eat it with (fresh baked whole grain bread, red bell peppers, and cucumbers). I’ve been doing this just about every day lately. Fresh hummus is so much better than the packaged stuff.. I seriously wish I knew about this years ago.

Under the Dome (Stephen King)

I was underwhelmed by this book.

The premise, that a small Maine town suddenly finds itself trapped underneath a dome, sounded interesting, but after having stuck with it through all 1,000 or so pages, I fell like this book was a really lame version of The Stand.

I could only recommend this book with hesitation. It’s better than nothing, and it was entertaining to some degree, but I think we could all easily find something more worthwhile to read.



add captions to every picture posted on my blog
2012 - so far, so good

Earlier this year, I decided that captioned pictures were superior to non-captioned images (does anyone besides me actually hover over images to read the title?).

Tonight, I went back and changed all 2012 images from non-captioned to captioned.
