Today's food

[serenecooking]

I'm a bit headachy from the dairy I ate yesterday, but it should go away soon. I hope. I have LOTS of work to do today!

Breakfast: Farina with raisins
Lunch: Tomato sandwich on homemade bread; kim chee
Dinner: Craft night spread: Fresh bread, baked chips with bean dip and fresh salsa, crackers and garbanzo spread (recipe below), water/coffee/tea. (I'll also be making non-fat-free kettle corn for the gang, because they expect it)
Snacks: Fruit, popcorn, toast

Garbanzo spread

1 onion
1 bunch parsley, chopped fine
Juice of 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
3 cups garbanzos with some cooking water (or 2 cans garbanzos, one drained and one not drained)
salt to taste

Sautee onion in a small amount of water until it just turns translucent. Remove from heat and add the parsley. Stir until the parsley wilts. Pulse everything together in a food processor or blender until it's chopped fairly finely, but still a little chunky. (I use a pair of hand-held chopping scissors, shown at the top of this page: http://www.silvermk.com/products.cfm )

Garbanzo spread

Ah, that reminds me that I keep meaning to make some hummus but also keep being short on time. Hopefully I'll get to it today -- it would definitely be a shame if the nice big red peppers I got for it went bad before I got around to using them.

Mmmmm, red-pepper hummus is one of my very favorite things in the world. Did you make it?

[pyrzqxgl.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did make it after posting that. :-) More of a garbanzo spread than real hummus hummus, though -- besides the peppers it was full of leftover pico de gallo, green garlic, green onions, and hot curry powder.

Lunch is just the kimchee. Not feeling all that hungry. Yum, kimchee.

I got a jar of kimchee at a natural-foods grocery recently, and just have to get my nerve up to try it.
