Last night Honey and I went to The Hwy 61 Roadhouse for dinner and it was YUMMY. I have to say that the sides were my favorite part of the meal. We started with black bean hummus, there was okra, corn souffle, sweet potato fries, and mac-n-cheese unlike any I have EVER tasted. Yum. The portions were tiny and we split them all, so there wasn’t even a huge guilt issue to contend with.
The hummus was so good that Honey instructed me to find a recipe so we could recreate the little touch of heaven at home. Of course I went to pinterest.com and allrecipes.com and I have two different (but similar) recipes to try. In the course of finding these recipes I also learned a couple of things.
Did you know . . .
1. chickpeas = garbanzo beans
2. tahini = ground up sesame seeds
I did NOT know that. Wow.
Ya learn something new everyday.
Just call me a lifelong learner. . .
1. chickpeas = garbanzo beans
2. tahini = ground up sesame seeds
Uhh, I did! All you had to do was ask. I guess that is the dip we will be having when we finally settle on a night to get together with you the Christians. BTW Dave Nolda was quite amused about Little’s new gift of naming cars, trucks and vans.
I have some tahini you can use. My jar is huge and I don’t make it that much.
