the smell of humus
in the drizzling rain
—CHARLES TRUMBULL
Ah, the drizzle of rain, and perhaps balsamic too? Wonderful haiku.

Fusion Hummus: A simple but fun humous recipe:
.
A kind of a Mediterranean twist on hummus. It's quick, cheap, and super tasty. It goes great on bread, crackers, and is good even stirred into grilled vegetables. Plus, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and rosemary…
Original recipe makes 4 1/2 cupsChange Servings
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 clove garlic, peeled
2 (15.5 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup cold water
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Strip rosemary leaves from stems, discard stems, and place leaves in the bowl of a food processor. Add garlic and pulse until finely chopped. Pour in the garbanzo beans; process until evenly blended.
With food processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil, scraping sides of the bowl as necessary. Pour in balsamic vinegar and process until evenly blended. Taste, and add more vinegar, 1 tablespoon at a time, as desired. Pour in the water and process to make a spreadable consistency. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill before serving.

I love it! This arrived on my phone just as I was finishing a long walk in the southern sun! Thanks for helping me cool off!

Ah, with drizzle and humus I thought food!
So back to soil, a gritty topic:
autumn drizzle
sheen of boatlights
on flattened dockwater

And of course the smell of soil
petrichor this green sunsets in yesterday

Petrichor is the scent of rain on dry earth, or the scent of dust after rain.
warm rainsoaked soil regards,
Alan
p.s.
Now where's that humous! ;-)

How lovely – this just had to have been written outdoors! The smell evoked has transported me to the damp forests of the Mourne. Mountains. Ahhhhhh :)
