Monkey Business

I might be addicted...I have discovered PicMonkey.  It's an online photo editing site that you can use free of charge and without setting up an account (for the basic options) and at a cost for more options and premium features.  If you are like myself and missed the whole scrapbooking craze of the... was that the 90's?!... this might be for you; no cutting, no glue sticks, no leaving the house carting roller suitcases full of multi-edged scissors and shape punches with a spinach dip in hand! Just grab your laptop and drag and click!  Admittedly, I know very little about photography.  I'm taking these photos on my phone camera which clearly has its limitations, but with access to my Google photos and the PicMonkey photo editor, I have been able to take my photographs to the next level (toot! toot!) and from what I can tell, I have not even scratched the surface as far as what you can do with this program.
The photos above are of the hummus I made today.  We eat a lot of hummus.  It's a quick, high protein snack that can be easily dipped with fresh pita or crisps; we love these and these and we just tried these (delicious!) pictured above or spread in a wrap with some fresh veggies for a quick lunch.  At 89 cents a tin, you can make a good cup and half to two cups of really delicious hummus at a fraction or the cost of any store bought brand and it tastes fantastic.  If you want exact measurements you could Google a hummus recipe, but it's not necessary.
I simply drain and rinse a 19 oz can of chickpeas and pour into the food processor with lots of garlic (6 cloves today! but adjust according to your tastes and whom you may be getting close to later in the evening!), about a tablespoon of olive oil, the juice of half a lemon (but a tablespoon or two of bottled will do as well) a tablespoon of tahini paste, a roasted red pepper, salt to taste and some vinegar (add a tablespoon at a time and taste for your preference--I usually add one or two).  That's it.  Process until smooth and throw it in your roller suitcase with your fancy schmancy scissors :D.
