corner view ≈ horrible {and not}

i will need your imagination on this one, for i did not photograph the event. just last night, i only managed to microwave boil my spuds on the wrong settings. as i pulled my barquette out, i perceived the disaster: like a tupperware bomb imploded over those delicious 'tatoes, now swimming in molten plastic. horrible
so, as to go all for zen over sa[i]d misfortune, i offer you a natural intermezzo from just last weekend. probably the last, last summer weekend too. ☻ ps - at special request! the beetroot hummus recipe below!

beetroot hummus recipe ☻ whizz up about two sliced knots of beetroot (tossed in a light vinaigrette of olive oil & vinegar, spring onion, pepper, salt and a good sprinkle of ground cumin) with two heaped table spoons of {black} beans and one table spoon of tahini paste; next add a tea spoon of mustard and two heaped table spoons of thick yoghurt. splash this mixture with the juice of half a lemon and run it through the processor until satisfied with consistency. in this way obtaining a slightly runnier version to its classic chickpea brother, it holds far less digestive issues (as the classic pea one may do). bon appétit!

    (er wordt een mooie zonnige zondag voorspeld maar de zomerjurken zijn weer opgeborgen, tijd voor regenjassen, pompoensoep en open haard, en daar weer het fijne van te ontdekken maar toch wel even wennen) xx

  6. We had a microwave. Once. Until Annabel set the timer for two hours instead of two minutes. The rest, as they say, is history. No more microwaves for us.

    p.s. is that raw beetroot Woolfy?

  13. I have just pulled up some humungus beetroot from the garden. This sounds great to make, but what are black beans and why aren't chick peas good for you?

  14. that beetroot hummus looks so very good. we love all those things that end up as pink food.

    as for exploding microwaved plastic.....oh dear tiny woolf!!! can i be your mom for a minute and just say, plastic is not inert, microwaves alter the molecules and if you ever can even just smell plastic fumes which any kind of heating can produce, it means you are also ingesting plastic.

    yuck. i don't even like my cats drinking out of plastic bowls but that is another conversation.....thx for nice notes over at p.p.!
