After using some of the lemon basil to flavor my first excursion into home brewing, I hung the rest up to dry.

Home From The Market | 7th + Fig 6Oct11

just a few things that made it home from the market…

Tomatoes | Strawberries | Garlic | Ginger | Onions | Hummus

So, even though  the prepared foods are a no, I fall victim.  I don’t know why I buy the hummus.  I have to do so much to it when I get back to work to even make it edible.   Why are people so heavy handed with the tahini?  Sheesh.  It’s like a science experiment, figuring out the right proportion of salt, pepper and lemon juice that will save me from the same mistake.  I just keep trying to recreate the feeling of the garlic artichoke hummus from the guys at Pershing.  It’s smooth with the acid bite.  It’s so garlicky that you really shouldn’t speaking to, you know, people for a while.  Even after you brush.  It is so good.  I just sighed thinking about it.

Ooooo, I have a dental appt right across the street from Pershing this week on the same afternoon as the market.  Oh, Good Hummus.  I can’t wait.  You are so worth it.
