Hi farfallina, welcome back.  Hope all is well over there too.

Thanks for the recipe, farfallina.  Good to have you back on board after your break away.

I just read on your blog that you have given up smoking.  That's wonderful.  You say that you don't really feel any different, but hang in there, it IS worth it.  It may take you a while, but one day you will suddenly find that you can smell the flowers again, or your taste has improved.  Then you will realise that you don't even miss smoking anymore, everything will be so much better.  Nicotine is incredibly addictive and as you've been off the smokes for a while now, the addiction will be lessening - don't be tempted to try one now, you've come this far, don't let the nicotine win!  You are strong and you can do this.  It's worth it.  Keep it up and well done.

Thank you girls!  
You are all so fast to reply by the way!

I never did tahini myself, always bought
If I can find sesame oil I can give it a try someday

And yes, everything is fine.
Our visit to Istanbul was just great
I had lots and lots of kebap
I quitted smoking
These are all the news I guess

Thank you

Farfallina, you do not need sesame oil just sesame seeds and olive oil. i do mine by eye and taste

[auds]

could you leave the tahini out of this or use something else?  I never ever use it so its not worth buying or making?

cheers

[fundj&e]

Hi auds
Soon I will try a hummus recipe which doesn't use tahini and I will post it if I get satisfied with it.
But it uses sesame seeds and sesame oil instead of tahini.

Otherwise you can try fundj's suggestion.

[auds]

thanks guys I will try fundj's recipe.  Not sure what it means by "cooked" chickpeas - I just usually use the ones straight out of a can - not sure if they are cooked or not.

will let you know how I go thanks

canned chickpeas are fine

i  give my canned chickpeas a quick  boil, the hummus does come nice and smooth
