White Beans Can't Jump
So I tried to make a Tuscan White Bean Dip to take to work today. It had lots of ingredients I love like cumin, fresh lime and some beautiful fresh cilantro. It also had fresh garlic of which I somehow got carried away with. I have read and reread that recipe but I screwed something up because the garlic overpowered everything. I was sweating garlic for hours and the kitchen still reeked of it when Keith got home. Now I love me some garlic but this was crazy garlicky. Back to the drawing board...
My friend and co-worker Melisa did come through with some groovy grub, though. Her hubby Auggie (aka August Wilhelm Sprung-best name ever) made some righteous hummus and even made the wonderful pita bread that accompanied it. I then got to try some of his pesto pasta..also terrific. These two need to have their own culinary operation- STAT.
Random thoughts-
I love when the grocery spots and other foodie operations start decorating for fall and Halloween-like this pumpkin patch at Hen House.
I've also become a big fan of Shatto milk...it's a locally made product and some of the freshest tasting milk around. You gotta love ice cold milk from a glass bottle. I'm not a big milk drinker....but this might turn me into one.
