Plans for today (2024)

Ok big cock up. During the night I kept thinking I used the wrong word.
I put circumcised instead of the other word I cant think of even now. I had my tubes tied for want of a word.
Freud would would be able to explain it?... I was circumcised at birth.

Vasectomy. They usually snip the tubes these days.

Not a lot. I need to do some house cleaning. Perhaps a load or two of laundry.

Oh, I also need to figure out why my garage door closes to about four inches from the ground, and reverses. I had to disconnect it from the door opener and close it manually Sunday night.

Not gone quite to plan.
I have nice lunch planned on sunday and wanted to get a little bit ahead but I’ve just had one of those days where the cooking gods are not smiling on me.

It took over an hour to make black bean houmous.
It’s not hard, put the ingredients in the blender and whizz. But no I just could not get the flavour or texture right. I finally got there (so I thought) and decanted into it’s containers and then remembered I didn’t check the flavour with the tortilla’s (chips), fed up by now I nearly didn‘t bother but after all the fussing I decided I’d better.

It was not good. It was really bland. The tortilla‘s are already bland apart from salt and this houmous was not helping the situation, it was a joyless dip!
So I grudgingly scrape it all back into the processor bowl (for a second time) and wash the containers cos the lid’s won’t seal well covered in gunk. Several more adjustments and more spice and seasoning than you would have thought it possible for some beans and tahini to absorb and it finally arrived in a good place.

The kitchen side and sink is plastered in bits of dip and I’ve lost the will the live!

I wasted the afternoon in a houmous fight 🥊

These beans should be called black hole beans! 🫘 😁

Hmmm, another word we Americans simplified for phonetic ease. It is hummus here, just like it sounds.

Ah well it can be either houmous or hummus here 👍

edit: I forgot it is also sometimes humus or humous as well 😆

Had a look on Ocado (a supermarket with a very large range) and the majority spelling is houmous with hummus a contender but behind a fair chalk and there were two humous'

Fortunately unlike 'Tortilla' it only means one thing 😂
