Monday-Washday Lunch at the KM's
July 17th, 2006 Today, my son and I made sandwiches from dark Jewish Pumpernickel. He slathered the mayo and the Dijon mustard, then he plopped* on the Swiss cheese and sliced the tomato while I sliced the purple onion and sprinkled it all with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Lettuce or spinach would have been nice but there was none to be found! Then I made some homemade hummus dip and we feasted with carrots and sweet mint ice tea.
Hummus Dip
1 can drained garbonzo beans
1 heaping tablespoon sesame tahini
1-2 freshly squeezed lemons, I like it lemony
Kosher salt to taste
some add garlic but I do not and anyway, I figure the red onions will keep the vampires away!
Whirl it all in a food processor and enjoy!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: Bless us O' Lord and these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ Our Lord. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit
My son wants you all to know that he served Mass last night!
