Cheap Eats; Middle Eastern Basics: Hummus and Taboli w/Cucumber sauce

Hummus

This is a really simply, healthy snack and it can be added to enhance a tasty sandwich. Its so easy that I feel its imperative for everyone to know how to make it. The only challenge and thing that is going to cost you will be finding good Tahini. But once you got it, you can make this recipe multiple times, whenever you want.

Ingredients:

1 Can Chick peas
Lots of Garlic (3~6 cloves should be satisfying)
Tahini (Sesame seed paste)
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Pita Bread

Process ingredients while blending with olive oil. Should have a creamy texture.

Optionl:
Hard boiled egg
Black olives

Add more olive oil to the humus, and the hard boiled egg. Use as a dip with the pita bread.

Taboli

Taboli is a simple saled made with germ wheat. My mom gets germ wheat in powerder form because its a good diet ingredient, good for digestion and its filling.

2 Cups of Germ Wheat
Lots of Parsley
1 Onion, chopped
2 Tomatoes, chopped
1 Lemon, for sqirts
Olive Oil

Optional:
Cucumber dressing

Ingredients:
1 diced Cucumber
3 Cloves of crushed garlic
Chives



Soak the germ wheat in twice the amount of water for about an hour, should be soft and not raw. Mix ingredients with olive oil. Squirts of lemon juice. So refreshing!

"All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace"

I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.

I like to think
(right now please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.

I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.

Caravaggio used 'photography' to create dramatic masterpieces

Like my art teacher used to say, you have to learn from the classics. Its ok to copy their paintings, even they used to copy their own images onto the canvas.
