Actually the man's correct on the explanation for humus, but hummus is a dip made of pureed chick peas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, water and olive oil with a pinch of salt.

no, no, no, pica - it is noun -definition: Eaing of substances other than normal food - like DIRT!! I meant, did Loner think really, that I ate dirt? (Had Pica)
I know what an effing Pita is, we have those there things out here on the prairies too. Like stuffing mine with chicken salad!
What is the difference between 'Speak' and 'Talk', as in:
"I will talk to you later" and "I will speak to you later"
"I will talk to you later" and "I will speak to you later"

Oh, OK!
Sorry, my mind is wandering here, with all this talk of eating and stuffing.
Lonely1: What is the difference between 'Speak' and 'Talk', as in:
"I will talk to you later" and "I will speak to you later"
"I will talk to you later" and "I will speak to you later"
Well, they are both verbs, forms of communication, you speak with or to another OR talk with or to another - basically the same thing, just a language difference due to location, ethnicity or social standing? Maybe
Anybody???3 Cans Chick Peas beans (drained)
3 - 4 tablespoons Tahini (Sesame butter)
4 - 6 cloves Garlic (chopped)
1 Lemon or lime
1/3 cup Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
1. Sauté the chopped garlic in oil over a low flame.
2. Juice the lime or lemon.
3. Place all of ingredients in a large blender. Blend well. This could take several minutes. Your hummus will be thick and have a dry consistency.
4. Add good water (not Southern California tap water if possible) in about 1/8 cup amounts and blend until he desired consistency is achieved.
5. Set the hummus in a service bowl. A few branches of parsley placed on the hummus adds a nice look to the dish.
6. Just before eating make an indent in the center of the hummus plate and pour a small amount of olive oil into the indent.
6. You can eat it right away, but the hummus improves if it sits overnight in the refrigerator.
