Cheap pleasures

[fpb]

I miscalculated the starting amount of chickpeas and ended up with an absolutely COLOSSAL amount of humus. Just as well that I love the stuff and that eating it is never a chore. In fact, what with humus, chestnuts to be roasted, and fresh tomato for salad, this is going to be a very pleasant couple of food days.

There's an awful lot of pleasures to be enjoyed in life, even if you are poor.

I love chickpeas. (We call 'em garbanzo beans over here.) But I'm too lazy to make hummus. So I just bake them with olive oil and cayenne pepper -- a nice healthy alternative to potato chips.

Do you mash them first?

No. I bake them whole. They're nice and crunchy.

Get a blender. I don't know how it is over there, but kitchen gadgets of all kinds - even breadmakers and small ovens - are remarkably cheap over here.
