I read The Appeal by John Grisham on sunday. Well.... A bit depressing. Wish we had not suddenly acquired 10 or 15 bucks worth of fines, putting us about 9 bucks over the level where we can check out books. We did get to read some books we wouldn't have when we were forced then to take the books that are available without using card--used paperbacks the library accepts as donations. Mostly they are romance type novels, though. Bleah. No way.
-Later-
We just found John Irving's latest novel, need to read it between computer sessions tho' it's a regular checkout, not honor book.

cooking : Chili-Lime Roasted Chickpeas Recipe by: Adapted from chowmama Yields: about 1.5 cups roasted chickpeas Ingredients: 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed 3-4 teaspoons chili powder* 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon lime juice 3/4 teaspoon sea salt 1-2 teaspoons cumin* Pinch of dried herbs of your choice (I used a little rosemary and thyme) OR chopped fresh cilantro *Note: start with the lowest amount of spice, then add more to taste. Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray. Spread chickpeas out in a single layer over the foil. Once oven is preheated, bake chickpeas for 45-50 minutes, stirring and flipping every 15 minutes or so. Chowmama includes a note saying that the cooking times can very; the way she looked for (and thus the way I looked for) doneness is taking a few chickpeas out, letting them cool for a minute, and then biting into them. Take them out when they're really crunchy. Near the end of the chickpeas' cooking time, combine oil, chili powder, lim juice, sea salt, and cumin in a medium bowl. Whisk to mix. When chickpeas are done, let them cool for just a minute before pouring them into the oil mixture. Stir to coat all the chickpeas well. Eat immediately, or store in an airtight container (after cooling completely) to eat later. |
We have all the ingredients, for once. I guess you can use homecooked instead of canned, that's what we've got.
Found a silvertone heart-shaped earring on the way here [someone says "erring", that figures, we are always erring].
