This is what I said. Find a new recipe for sure....I am trying to imagine what that tasted like with all of that tahini. Plus tahini is so high in fat. I have made a hummus using cannelini beans and liked the flavor better than garbanzo. I added rosemary and garlic.
If parsley is not the same as pesto, can we also agree that cannellini beans and rosemary do not make hummus? It's a white bean dip, but it ain't hummus!

Cannellini beans and rosemary and garlic ....and tahini are certainly hummus-ish IMO. I failed to mention the tahini as I thought it was a given.

Most of the Middle East might disagree with you. (I figured there was tahini in it.)

Went with burgers to test out the homemade buns. I toasted the buns with some ghee in cast iron and got a perfect crispy edge. The burgers are Beyond from Costco; while I'm a carnivore, my wife is pescatarian, so sometimes it's easier to just make two of these, and they honestly taste pretty good.

Well, you have 10-15 varieties to choose from. You must have loved Farrells as a kid.

Boy, I sure did! Some of my best memories as a kid 70-73ish in Sacramento. The plane crash ended that institution. Sad.

Swensons Ice cream, who even had franchise in Hong Kong. In fact I had a dream about them last night - I ordered ahead and my milkshakes were ready.
in reality, Ive never had this much inventory of ice cream treats prior to pandemic.

We would wait in line to get in and nothing was more exciting than someone ordering a pig's trough.
I think I need some ice cream now.
