Hummus!

I love hummus.
However, the store bought stuff is too salty and not very tasty. 
So I got an easy hummus recipe from my sister's co-worker. 
Azhar is from the middle-east so she knows all about hummus.
Here is the recipe she gave me.

Hummus:

2 cans garbanzo beans (chick peas) drained
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
4-5 tablespoons tahini sauce (sesame seed paste)
3 tablespoons lemon juice 
1/2 cup of water (add more if needed)

Directions: 
Mix all the ingredients into a food processor/ blender until it is all blended well; put into a container and pour a little bit of oil on top (traditional way) or mix in a little oil. Lastly, decorate top, I use a little cayenne pepper to give it some color.

I found that this recipe is a large batch so if you want less, cut it in half.
This recipe is kid friendly (not spicy). 
If you want to switch it up a bit you can add fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder. Also, you can add any kind of chopped spicy peppers to give it a little kick.


I found the tahini sauce at Albertson's in the peanut butter section. :)

Retro

I have this cheesy little app on my phone called Retro Camera.

 I love this nail polish. It's called crackle glaze. 

Paint on the base color you want to show through.

 I found this nice read among some of my college text books.

I had to read some excerpts for a Philosophy class I took back in the day.

 A HUGE strawberry! Yummy.

Lounging on the hammock and drinking some cheap yet delicious wine. 

My new job is awesome. 

The kids are great and I get paid to have fun in the sun! 

I sent some letters to Korea today. :)

I need to write some more, however these are my "test run" letters.

Some of my Korean friends translate their addresses, I hope the letters make it!

Anyways, I can't complain, life is good.

Stand for Children

On Friday my class participated in HRDC's "Stand for Children" at North Park.
So here are some snap shots from the Billings Gazette.
