Hummus



Hummus hummus huuuumus. How i doth love thee. 

I eat so much hummus it's bazaar this is my first time making it. I was pretty darn excited and the result is so good, and so very cost effective! For about the same cost of a little tub in the store you can make about four times that. The levels of acidity and so forth took a little playing around with but that is half the fun.

Well enough banter, here it is!
