Wandering Adventure Party

I’ve substituted sesame seeds for tahini in hummus before, toasting them and then blitzing them in the blender before adding the other ingredients. I always make my hummus in a blender so it’s fluffy and smooth. But with squash you might need a food processor instead, and it might not puree the sesame seeds enough.

So where do we get our funding? I’m thinking about a billion, if we call it The Big Beautiful Golden Study, sponsored by plastic and dishwasher manufacturers.

Interesting thought, we’ll have to include it in our study. I posit that the microparticles from hand washing will be larger anyway, because method, and will include plastic from the scrubber as well as the containers.

Hotter yes, but no plastic-on-plastic scrubbing. And not reusing the water wouldn’t change the amount of plastic, it would just be diluted in a larger amount of water. My guess would be, larger particles. But I can see why that would have to be its own, more complicated study. Because so many more variables.

And yet somehow it lasts forever in a landfill.

We can’t win.

Betcha scrubbing them in the sink does too. It’s just harder to set up a controlled study.

My grocer calls this (plus kalamata olives) “Authentic Greek Salad.” $6.50 for 8 oz. They also sell “Greek Salad” which is the same exact thing but on top of a head of sliced Romaine lettuce, $14.00 for a big bowlful. Or I can buy the head of Romaine f $3.50 and rinse and slice it myself. Maybe add a little more vinaigrette from my fridge. My doc wants me to eat green leafies. Moo.
