texture and spice
Dec. 4th, 2013 01:09 pmToday's lunch-prep discovery was that defrosted overly garlicky hummus has the texture of couscous prepared with barely enough broth. Fortunately, the sour cream in the fridge was a viable addition.
I am trying a pinch of mace with the combination, which I'm eating with kale and a sweet potato. It's not a great combination, but neither is it unpleasant.
It is 73 F here in Nashville right now. Work and holiday schtuffs are calling, calling, calling, but I am first going to transplant some hollyhocks and a Christmas pepper plant into larger pots, and patch some bits of the front walk while the going's good. (I'd flirted with the idea of giving pepper plants as gifts this year, but only one of the fifteen seeds made it past the seedling stage. Which reminds me that I need to make garlic-pepper-soap spray before I get deep into the next round of experiments.)
The Kentucky Colonel mint keeps poking out of the mulch I'd put down to protect it. The Bowie apple mint is mostly gray and brown in its pot, but there are tiny clusters of new green leaves on the surface of the soil.
