How brilliant is this - Hot Ingredient for the New Year: Elbow Grease?

I found this post when I was reading the kitchen tune-up post.

I have whipped egg whites into submission* by hand before. It was fun…one time :)

Personally, I think you’re one step ahead if you make your own whipped cream instead of buying cool whip, but I fully understand where thekitchn is coming from. It kind of reminds me of this post from Kate, if you’re into that kind of thing.

It’s Hummus Time

I made hummus a couple of weeks ago. I don’t have a recipe to share for that round because I pretty much threw stuff together…sorry. Yesterday, as I was catching up on my Google Reader I came across this post from Smitten Kitchen for ethereally smooth hummus.

You should know a few things:

1.) I like hummus

2.) I really like the word ethereal

3.) I especially like peeling things

I have a few containers of my last round of hummus in the freezer, but as soon as that’s gone, I’m SO making this. Deb does it again! YUM!


You Can MAKE That?

This is a funny I came across from one of my favorite local bloggers…The Perfect Bite. She posted a cheesecake recipe with this quip at the end:

Also, I’m dedicating this post to my sister Brenda… who two days before Christmas was madly searching stores for a cheesecake without toppings. When I said, “It’s too bad you don’t live closer, I’m making cheesecakes tomorrow.”  She replied, “Wait. You can make a cheesecake?”

Sometimes it’s hard to believe we come from the same womb.

Ha!
