We've been making a lot of hummus lately. We've tweaked things to get it right where we like it. Awfully easy to make: canned chick peas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika. Stick blender, add juice from chickpeas as needed to get to the right consistency. Fold in pimentos. Dress with a good olive oil and a little paprika. Good stuff!

Looks good. Instead of paprika, try cumin. You might even like it better.

Actually, I'm not much of a cumin fan so I took it out of the recipe and subbed in the onion and garlic powders.

?  I am trying to imagine chili or tacos without cumin. Or curry.

I bet you could get a handicap sticker for your car based on your disability. 😁

I don't hate cumin, just don't care for too much of it. 

I don't use cumin in my taco seasoning either, but I do use ground coriander. Cumin does go in our various chili recipes (green, white and red), just not much. 

I love curries and good old store bought curry powder.

I certainly can't 😉! That flavor to me defines chili and at least beef tacos.

Meat prep question.    I've been flattening chicken breasts with a tenderizer hammer,  just ordered a crank style machine.   Does anyone else have any history or advice?  Tips or tricks?

Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me)

I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)

I have no experience with that. It looks like it pierces the meat as well as flattens it. I hope it works well for you. Let us know.

I am old school. I use a French rolling pin on cling film covered meat

Years ago, I posted about horseradish cole slaw. It is on my blog. I still love it. The other picture is from the night before last. Buttermilk fried chicken with herbed french potato salad.
