It is lovely

Hey Mercedes or Shermaine

So the other day we were playing a round of "Guess-the-band" and Shermaine played a lovely song for me and I was totally KLUELESS. She gave me some clues, and our conversation went something like this:

Sarah: What's the first letter of the first word? | Sherm: M.
Sarah: What's the second letter of the first word? | Sherm: A.
Sarah: How many words are there? | Sherm: 3.
Sarah: What's the first letter of the last word? | Sherm: S.
Sarah: What's the second letter of the last word? | Sherm: T.
Sarah: What's the first letter of the second word? | Sherm: O.
Sarah: What's the second letter of the second word? | Sherm: ... F....
Sarah: FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE. | Sherm: No.

Anyway, the answer was Mates of State. Just wanted to include that little excerpt up there to a) thank Shermaine and b) inject some humour into my lifeless blog.

Ok, Mates of State - Lullaby Haze

Watched I Love You, Man today. Sweet! That's all I'll say until you watch it yourself to behold the awesomeness that is two white dudes attempting (and succeeding!) and forming a bromance. (Shermaine's word of yesterday). Going to a book fair with Ben and Natz tomorrow yay!

Watching Disturbia, starting on my English essay and compiling recipes. I'm a multi-tasker. Oh goooood this scene makes me cry

Nat and I are going to set up a restaurant together, and I'll be the chef and she'll be the pastry chef. I was reading in 8 Days and they EXPOSED the weekend vegetable market. Shit you eight days. Shit u! Anyway. Here I am compiling my recipes.

Nicole if you are reading this, wanna meet up on Saturday before church? Go grocery-shopping :) Sherm, Oli, Sam, Jo, Jianny etc etc too if you guys are looking for a good time with some brightly-coloured vegetables. Strictly platonic, of course.

Anyway. A recipe a day, until I don't feel like posting.

Easy one for today. It's so easy it shouldn't even be called cooking. Ok. It's not cooking.

1. Israeli Hummus (I hate all other kinds)
from myjewishlearning (apt)

~*~*~HOLD UP~*~*~
!HUMMUS GOOGLE IMAGE PICSPAM!
(mostly in compromising positions with various other food groups)

Hummus is: CELEBRITY-ENDORSED~*~*~



4 FOR U BCOCO, YOU GO BCOCO!
(by the way it was his birthday yesterday /creepy killers fan)

Anyway.

YIELD: About four cups, or six-to-eight servings

1 cup dried chickpeas
1 cup tahina
1/2 cup lemon juice, or to taste
2 cloves garlic, or to taste
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, or to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons pine nuts
Dash of paprika or sumac
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
(You can get everything at Cold Storage. Word)

1. Put the raw chickpeas in a bowl with cold water to cover and soak overnight.

2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then place them in a heavy pot with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer, partially covered, for about an hour or until the chickpeas are soft and the skin begins to separate. Add more water as needed.

3. Drain the chickpeas, reserving about 1-1/2cups of the cooking liquid. Set aside 1/4cup of the cooked chickpeas for garnish. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, process the remaining chickpeas with the tahina, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and at least 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking liquid. If the hummus is too thick, add more reserved cooking liquid or water until you have a paste-like consistency.

4. Heat a frying pan and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Spread the pine nuts in the pan and stir-fry, browning on all sides.

5. To serve, transfer the hummus to a large, flat plate, and with the back of a spoon make a slight depression in the center. Drizzle the remaining olive oil on top and sprinkle the reserved chickpeas, pine nuts, paprika or sumac, and parsley or cilantro over the surface.

6. Serve with cut-up raw vegetables and warm pita cut into wedges

Note: You can also add cayenne pepper to the hummus. Sometimes leftover hummus tends to thicken just add some water to make it the right consistency.

It's easy and yummmmy.

Noah and the Whale

Oh, well it's hard to look deep into your soul.
Not everything you'll find will be perfect gold.
There are ghosts and demons that hide in the dark. Oh, they wait till you find them and then they laugh. Oh, they know that my body is no way good enough. Know that my heart is no way strong enough for the missiles that love brings. When I recoil in fear, oh, the demons shake.

But it's a hollow love for a heart with no blood
in it's veins.

Oh, there is no endless devotion,
that is free from the force of erosion.
Oh, if you don't believe in God, how can you believe in life? When we're all just matter that will one day scatter, when peaceful the world lays us down. Oh and finding love is a matter of luck, and unsettled lovers move from fuck to fuck. Oh, and compare their achievements like discussing And compare their abrasions with romantic quotations, oh, as peaceful, the world watches down.

You were blown out of the water.
Oh, and we walk o the feet we have grown.
And we were given a heart, of which love is a part. Oh, and we cornered the thing from which all life will spring. And it gave value to the world.

Nervous.

Ignore everything and Ignore everyone and
Shut everyone out and Shut everything out

Either/or.

Hey

I still care.

Goodbyes

In a big, big way
I am really small
I get off my feet
But I'm still distant
