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.

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!

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!
