2. My Hummusble Roots: Meyer Lemon Hummus



Bought fancy citrus
Had to use three; waste of cash
Plain lemons better





The above haiku summarizes my feelings on my latest hummus-making endeavor. It's a simple formula: a drained can of chick peas. A big spoon or two of tahini. A clove or two of garlic. Salt, pepper, lemon to taste. Some bean goo goes into the food processor (or even blender) if you want it smoother. Unfortunately, I decided to buck tradition and try the lauded orange-hued Meyer lemon, and the result was a marked lack of acidity, even though I squeezed three. Oh well, maybe I'll use it in sandwiches.

This in no way reflects my addiction to lemons.
