Welcome to the site!

I was inspired to start this blog after reading Michael Pollan's book "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto." Pollan argues that a lot of the food that we eat today is not really food - instead, Pollan argues, we're consuming "edible foodlike substances" which are "no longer the product of nature, but of food science."
I want to eat real food! But eating real food is not always cheap nor is it easy, so that's why we need each other for advice and encouragement.
Feel free to share your adventures (or misadventures...) in growing, purchasing, cooking, and/or eating food. Any and all stories are welcome! Just as long as they relate to real food in some form or fashion. And don't forget to include your recipes! Share away, everyone!

About the Hummus I Made Eons Ago.

One solution I've found to the problem of not having enough time to cook is to make massive quantities of food when I DO have the time to cook. The freezer is my friend! Back in August I made loads of hummus, and I'm still eating it and handing it out to people!


After cooking the beans (next post), I usually just put them in the blender with the rest of the ingredients and blender away! And usually end up cursing under my breath when the beans don't get chopped up right and the blender gets stuck... I've figure out though, that if you put enough liquid in the bottom of the blender first, it works out better.

Main ingredients include chick peas (garbanzo beans), tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt, although I've seen so many variations, it's insane! Do you guys have a favorite hummus recipe?
