paste

that's what vicki calls hummus. her recipe is the best! we made a batch on thursday and it's already gone! gotta love the paste!

1 16 oz can chick peas or garbanzo beans
1/4 C liquid from can of chick peas
3-5 T lemon juice (i used 3)
1 1/2 T tahini (paste made from crushed sesame seeds)
2 cloves crushed garlic
1/4 tsp salt
2 T olive oil
(i also added a small chunk of roasted red pepper...yummy)

drain chick peas and set aside liquid. combine all ingredients in food processor. blend for 3-5 minutes until thoroughly mixed and smooth.

not only is this recipe delicious, but vicki says that sesame seeds increase sex drive.

enjoy! bow-chicka-wow-wow!

happy halloween from john, linda and indy

we went trick or treating with friends last night. it was in one of those developments where the houses are super close together. up until this point ross has averaged 20-25 pieces of halloween candy per year from our small neighborhood and he's always been happy. holy cow! last night indy brought home a pillowcase full! 143 pieces... he counted! he's beside himself and has vowed to to remain friends with TJ for life so he can trick or treat with him every year.
