To any of you that celebrate this shindig, Happy Thanksgiving!  Try not to get crushed tomorrow during all the Black Friday shopping.  We're going to be hunting down some business clothes for Scott.  Wish us a trample free day!

Still can't find my icon folder...grrr argh.

So I tried this recipe for Falafel and I could not for the life of me get the mixture to stay formed into balls during frying.  So I added it to a humus dip in the refrigerator, and viola! a tasty little confection is born.

Falafel Humus Dip
1 can chickpeas
1 medium onion
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp cumin powder
_^1/2 teaspoon baking powder
vegetable oil

1. Add chickpeas to a processor and process for 30 seconds till ground.  Add onion, garlic, parsley, cayenne, cumin and baking powder to processor and mix till a rough paste is formed.  Cover and let set for 30 minutes. 
2. Fill a small saucepan, heavy bottom, with _^1/3 full of veggie oil.  Bring to 350 degrees and place mixture in oil.  Fry for 4 minutes, until mixture begins to brown on outsides.
3. Open a can of store bought humus and add it to a clean large bowl.  Remove the falafel mixture from the oil and let it drain on paper towels.  Once drained, mix the falafel mixture into the bowl with the humus.  Add salt and pepper to taste. 

Serve with crackers or pita bread!

Haven't been writing much in here lately, sorry.  If it was a physical journal it probably would have collected some dust by now.  The new version of the blog module is making me a bit pissy.  Still no tags, my icons folder has disappeared (hence no icon in this post), took forever yesterday to get the auto generated summary to work, and make the RSS feeds and Trackbacks go away.

Besides, I haven't had a lot of time for entries.  Still interviewing, still working on the house situation, and still dealing with apartment adjustments.  Hopefully the holidays will me mean some slowing down, not more added drama.
