Chicken & Hummus
So last night I made [info]sinnick hummus (home made) to go along with our dinner. Really, the entire motivation was to use these cute little serving dishes I got from the wedding, and to play with my cuisnart.....but anyway..I made hummus. Sadly, it was a tad salty. I ran out of garlic, and decided to add "garlic salt" instead. Bit of a mistake, but all in all, for my first hummus adventure, it turned out pretty good.

So---my point. This morning, I take 2 small chicken breasts to work for lunch. I add hummus on top of it, for some moisture. Then I warm it up at work. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm! It tastes so awesome. Seriously, so good. I am sure somewhere in the middle east this has been done for all of time, but this morning it was a new idea for me, and I love it.

Now--is it just me--or is Sea Salt a hell of a lot stonger than regular salt. Why is that?  Does anyone know anything about sea salt.

Tonight I am making cheesecake (chocolate mocha)...and a chocolate cake for a shower on Sunday. I am really getting domesticated. Now [info]sinnick may want me to add some honestly here. I probably havent cooked for at least a month, we have just been eating whatever comes quickly out of the fridge....but in the last 2 days I have really been getting back on top of my culinary skills :)

My in-laws prefer sea salt because they claim you get more flavour from a smaller amount of salt.

I found this interesting site that also suggests it is "more flavourful." It actually talks about all the different types of gourmet salt out there -- who knew there were so many!

Odd. I thought that Sea Salt was milder. Or maybe just better tasting.

But more importantly, Mmmmmmm Chocolate Mocha Cheesecake.

I don't know why our family always refered to it as "chocolate mocha" when really it's just "mocha" which already implies chocolate.

I might try and make one out here soon. With no cuisnart.
