Just made my first batch of hummus in the 30 yr old food processor. Didn’t even need the liquid drained off from the beans—added sesame oil, garlic, cumin, lemon juice, kosher salt and sesame seeds. Added hot red pepper flakes on top, but wish I’d added them in the hummus for more kick, and also more garlic. You can’t find tahini around here, and at any rate it’s very expensive. Sesame seeds are too expensive to make a decent amount, so no tahini in this hummus, but still quite good and cost far less and made twice what I usually get at the supermarket.

Meanwhile, the 4 yr old just surprised me by using the word, “quickly”, as in “Come here, quickly!”
