Monday, no surprise, last full day to myself, I wandered into the lounge. The person who through the party was there with leftovers, no doubt I'd be well fed. Pal that works there 3 days a week, and a regular.
I'd had the chili the dude made before, it is quite good. They added mussels at the lounge just to save space in the microwave, very nice touch. And then there was spinach bread, not sure exactly how to describe it. But if you like spinach and I do, it was very good.
Chuckles and good conversation. One of the other regulars was being roasted in a way for 2 faux pas made. The first, rain drove everyone inside, still had a good time. Owner saw him by the thermostat, he'd lowered the temperature by 2 degrees. I mean come on who does this. Then after everyone left, about an hour later the guy came back. Just to hang out, not to offer the help clean up, it had stopped raining so they let him sit in the back yard. Oh well.
Back at my house, forgot what I made for dinner. Tonight I'd decided. You see the lack of funds left me no resources for a snack. Who doesn't like a snack in the evening. I do have salt free pretzels, but they even get tiresome. No finally, after some research, tonight I was going to make it. Oh have to go!
Just kidding. I'm fond of hummus. After some research I'd discovered I had all the makings for it, except for the tahini sauce. Never did find it, didn't look real hard anyway. Saw online a lot of people didn't use it in hummus anyway. So I had on hand, 1 can of garbanzo beans, clove of garlic, and olive oil.
I did also purchase a box of matzohs. Nothing in them at all, and apparently they last a real long time. So I got to work. Opened can, drained, rinsed off a few times in a bowl and let them sit. Sliced the garlic. put half the can in a mini Cuisinart I'd discovered in the house with the garlic. Added about 1 table spoon, I think, drizzled to the count of 8, in. Then a touch of lemon juice which we have on hand for sisters iced tea. Blend to consistency and viola, homemade hummus. From what I read it can last at least 3 days in fridge. Matzo's are big so was 3 nights of snacking. And quite good I may add. Just a word of warning, if you're not used to beans expect the usual results.
I really enjoyed it a lot. Will make it again on Wednesday. Tuesday had some Dr. appointment, all went well and made it home in an hour. Man was I broke, still am. But a very good vacation.
