Hummus

I should first mention that in my previous post, I was being sarcastic when I stated that I love the near 100 degree heat. However, it was nice getting out of school early yesterday because of the intense heat. Today, it was in the upper 80s, hot, but much nicer compared to the last four days!

A couple hours ago, I was contemplating what to bring to work for lunch tomorrow. I decided on a whole wheat bagel out of the freezer. A perfect accompaniment to that bagel would be some hummus. So I pressure-cooked some chickpeas and made Veganomicon's simple and easy hummus recipe.

I have to say that my simple homemade hummus I think totally beats any of the store bought varieties. And, trust me, I've probably tried just about every kind.

Sorry for the lack of photos the last couple posts. I'm lazy!

Of course your hummus beats store bought hummus. Any home made hummus - with a proper recipe of course - will be much better in every aspect, than store bought hummus. Much healthier too. I wrote about it here

Homemade hummus kicks the crap out of storebought hummus. I'd place my bet on it any day.

Why do we ever buy the stuff in those little plastic tubs? It never lives up to my expectations. Homemade, on the other hand, is 100% awesome!
