Hummus Not So Good

I may have had a result with yesterdays task so it's a shame that I can't say the same today as todays task I'm afraid has ended in abject failure. I have noticed over the past week or so when reading some of G's magazines that in the food part of the mags they are pushing the healthy benefits of beans and pulses and one of the recipes caught my eye and it was this that I failed at today. Hummous or humus made from chic peas, garlic and a few other ingredients was the recipe. We eat this a lot in our house but have never before made it and all the celebrity chefs in the mags are saying how much nicer home made is against shop bought. Not in my case as the end product was decidedly unpalatable and it all ended up in the bin instead of our stomachs. Think maybe that as I used double the amounts of ingredients I may have erred and left something out and not being sure of what it was I decided to cut my losses and throw it all away. Thankfully the ingredients only came to a couple of quid so I didn't loose that much.........On the subject of food, as normal G and I went out last night to the Mitre where we had our normal few pints of Guinness but last night feeling a bit peckish G had a packet of nuts and I had my favourites which happened to be a packet of scratchings. Munching happily away on these when I had a look at the packet to see where they had been made (usualy they will have been made around Birmingham and the Midlands) to see if I knew where they had come from, in fact I did but it was other writing on the packet that made me laugh out loud. I've seen it all now, though I suppose there have been a few people sue the manufacturers after having enourmous dental bills after biting a bit too hard on these tasty morsels.
