With a Pestle in Hand!

A few weeks ago I got my very own, and very first, pestle and mortar, nothing fancy, nothing great, but something!

Since then I've been extremely excited about the possibilities, about all foods that I now I can make! Of course, it'd be easier to buy a food processor and make them with that but that also costs a lot more money money that I rather spend on drugs, porn, and video games.

I must admit that even if I had one I'd probably still occasional choose to attack food with my pestle, smashing things and crushing things makes you feel quite great in the end. As long as they are digital or not sentient or alive, of course.

So, I decided to try and make a dish that I quite love because it is so fresh and so tasty, and in theory so easy to make. In practice it turns out it was true, not hard at all to make! As usual, and because I like to pretend there's more hours in the day than I actually have to spare, I made everything from scratch. I had quite a lot of fun doing it too, from roasting the sesame seeds to make the fresh tahini, to smashing everything together into a creamy heavenly food, it was neat.

The end result I think could have use more smashing and crushing, as well as more garlic, but, it was passable and exactly what I was craving today and I am now incredibly happy. At some time though I'd love to learn how to make my own pita bread from scratch.

But, next thing I do should be to take a nap!
