Domestic goodness

I made pretty damn-good hummus today. It's so so easy to make - put all the ingredients in a bowl and blend!

1 tin chick peas with some of the liquid from the can
a good glug of oil
3 cloves of garlic
juice of a lemon
some pepper
coriander is optional

Aishling came over and we baked banana muffins and flapjacks. Katie arrived just as they were coming out of the oven, so we ate them while watching Julie & Julia. Such an appropriate film to watch after a day of cooking - it's about a writer who undertakes to cook all the recipes in Julia Child's first book, in a year. That's 524 recipes in 365 days.

Mmm hummus and brown bread and salami, hummus and carrot sticks, warm flapjacks, warn banana muffins...
