Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Hummus is typically made with
garbanzo beans, but for Spring, I love the bright green of edamame, young soybeans.
Cook a bag of frozen edamame in their pods as directed on the package. Rinse the pods to cool them, then shell the soybeans. Each bean has a thin, transparent "skin" that you also have to remove. This takes a little bit of time, so do it on the couch with a couple of bowl on your lap while you're watching Rachael Ray make a fool of herself again.
Puree the shelled and skinned edamame in a food processor with about 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1 minced clove garlic, ½ c. water (or you can use whatever liquid you want, like chicken or vegetable stock), and about 2 Tbsp. sesame oil. Salt and pepper to taste. You could also add tahini paste, which is an ingredient in regular hummus, but I didn't because sesame oil is fairly strong. Use more liquid to thin the hummus to the consistency you desire.
You can either serve the edamame hummus in a large bowl as a dip, or plop tiny spoonfuls on toasted flatbread, garnished with sesame seeds. Assure your guests that it's not wasabi, because that's what it looks like.

People watch her, learn some cooking skills gain some confidence and move on to more advanced cooking. She doesn't profess to be a gourmet chef.
It's a shame that some people have to cut some down to "entertain themselves". I can't wait until you get your own show and see how highbrow and sofisticated (misspelled on purpose) it will be. So please tell us what time and what channel we can watch to be edjumated by you.

Because you can't be entertaining unless you're on television! (Folks, if you don't want to see personal opinions, you probably won't enjoy reading blogs.)
