Hummus salad



That's my favorite lunch for work.  I make it all the time.

Hummus salad

Ingredients 

1                                                                          Cubed pickling  cucumber 
2 tablespoons                                                   Sliced olives
A bunch                                                             Chives
About 1/3 cup                                                   Diced tomatoes
1/2 cup                                                                Feta crumbles
2 tablespoons                                                   Hummus
2 tablespoons                                                   Olive juice (or 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk)*see note
2 cups                                                                 Romaine lettuce
Salt and pepper to taste. 

Directions 

Mix the first 6 ingredients in a bowl.  Shred or cut the lettuce and arrange it on your plate.  Pour the cucumber mixture on top.

I quadruple the recipe often, put the cucumber mixture in the bottom of 4 tupperwares and top with lettuce; mixing, just before eating. 



Bon appetit!

* (note) : 

Sometimes I want my salad on the creamy side so I use 2 tablespoons of milk or 1 tablespoon of olive pickle juice and 1 tablespoon of milk.

Grandma's bread, made with milk

I'm making bread this morning.  Yesterday I asked aunt Jacinthe to give me Grandma's recipe and she took a picture of it.  I love to see grandma's hand writing and the way it is redacted.  I wonder if she wrote down her mom's instructions.  It doesn"t seem to be  from a book.  I'll have to ask around. I found yeast in the pantry with a 2017 expiration date.  I thought I would steep it in water with sugar and see if it still good or not.  After 10 minutes I was not sure so I thought I would take a picture and asked my aunt if she thinks it's ok.  By the time I got my phone I could see that it was good.  Lesson learned: don't toss your yeast before trying it out.
