I made hummus from scratch. No, I didn’t plant and harvest sesame seeds, chick peas, grapes, olives and garlic. I harvested them from the supermarket. I prepared the tahini myself, opened the can of chick peas, crushed garlic cloves and processed the whole thing. But along the way, I miscalculated the recipe amount of lemon and garlic. Instead of the usual 1 clove, I put 2 and instead of 1 lemon, I used 2. The end product: much, much better! Ha! Perfect with fresh carrot and cucumber sticks. And spread on sourdough toasts, I am salivating already. My vegetarian family and neighbors loved it.

Many good inventions were products of accidents and odd science. My hmmm hummus, it’s one of them.

Don’t be afraid to make experiments and fail because a failure according to established standards may prove to be the next big thing.
