Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun





1. Sesame Noodles
2. snow peas
3. Hummus
4. sesame candy
5. White Rabbit candy

Yes, two kinds of candy, cause I've been at least two kinds of cranky. And a special bonus today - two recipes!

Sesame Noodles

1/4 pound noodles (I used whole wheat linguine)
2 T tahini
2 T soy sauce
1 T rice wine vinegar
1 t brown sugar
1 t sambal oelek
1 chopped green onion
4 thinly sliced baby carrots

Cook and drain the noodles, then in the same pan add tahini, soy, vinegar, sugar and chili and toss around until the noodles are coated. Sprinkle onions and carrots on top. Tastes great cold or at room temperature. Makes 2 servings.

Blender Hummus

1 can chick peas rinsed and drained
1/4 c tahini
1 T olive oil
1 clove of garlic
big pinch of salt
juice from 1 lemon
1/4 to 1/3 c water

Dump the peas in the blender and add the garlic, oil, salt and lemon juice. Pulse adding water a little at a time until you get the right consistency. Then blend on high for at least 3 minutes until smooth and creamy.

  2. I love hummus and thankfully can get them easily from a local deli. And I like how you rolled the noodles into little nests for easy eating, and it looks good too.
