Chickpeas

I've discovered over the last week that I like chickpeas. I always avoided them unless they were served to me in either indian restaurants or as hummus... but I learned how to cook them this week! I made my own HUMMUS! And it's REALLY TASTY -- well, not amazing, but it has a freshness that store bought hummus seems to miss.

also i made indian-style hummus by taking a chickpea recipe a friend from lab gave me (she's indian), making the chickpeas, and then blending them. I think they turned out tasty.

I will experiment more (ie roasted garlic, sun dried tomatoes?, roasted  bell peppers? jalapenos? amusing!) and report.
