I was complaining about there not being any good hummus at our local stores: i.e. made with olive oil, rather than seed oils.

My wife tossed a bunch of ingredients into the food processor (no recipe, no measuring) and out came amazing hummus.

Now, I'm trying to talk her into commercializing it for farmers' markets.

I didnt like the hummus at the store because of all the perservatives in it. I was having some kind of reaction to it. I ended up boiling chickpeas and mashing them and making hummus. Mine was a rougher hummus, but I enjoyed it because I did it all by hand.

Sounds good. Now imagine someone else doing the work for you.

It tastes so much better when you make it because you keep testing and tasting it. I actually finished making it and didnt eat it until later. So full from testing and tweaking it.

We make our own hummus, too. I have a recipe for beet hummus which if done with black olives and then just plain.

Beet hummus sounds right up my alley.

I double the ingredients and I put jalapenos and I just throw the cilantro in instead of garnish.

Thanks for sharing. I don't think there will be any other takers in my household, but if I ever happen to have an extra beet laying around, I'll keep this in mind.

Because we eat Russian food we always have some beets.

There was a restaurant where we used to live that had a breakfast burrito with shredded beets that I really liked. Otherwise, I've never really incorporated them into my diet.

I once went on a crusade to replicate Trader Joe's hummus with olive oil. I never got it right. I even bought citric acid and all the other stuff, thinking it might make a difference.

This was definitely no replication. You'll never find a store selling hummus with as much garlic as we like.

We, all our family, often ask my mom to commercialise homemade chutney. But she denies citing that this taste is exclusive to us all.

I really do think more people should try out marketing their crafts. My dad was a very good cook, and often cooked for large numbers of people, but he never wanted to try out doing it professionally.

Amazing! My dad is a professional cook and I can tell you that not every work is done as work. Some work is done for fun, interest or as hobbies.

It may be that your dad wanted his hobby of cooking to remain just a hobby.

That's what he said, but I always thought he should it occasionally, like for festivals and such.

Will make Hummus for sats!

My daughter wants to make homemade pickles. I told her we will have to wait like a year to try our product. My grandmother used to make incredible homemade pickles. I will have to get the recipe from my mom and give it a shot. Good to teach the little one about low time preference.

Maybe that could be a birthday, or other special occasion, activity. Then you get to eat them on the next one. I like the idea of pickling stuff, but I've never done much of it.

I pickled vegetables once just to try it out. Wasn’t that great. But I think we can do well with the pickles if we have the recipe. Cool idea to tie it into a special occasion.

Sometimes the recipes you don't follow exactly end up being the best. Nice to hear you have a farmers market near you, in AZ ours shuts down for several months since it is 115 degrees everyday.

The one nearest our house got damaged by some idiot truck driver and was shut down all last summer. We haven't gotten back in the habit of going.

I assume we can pay with sats?

The hurdle is getting it to market, period. The easy part will be accepting sats.
