Tangy turmeric hummus

1/2 lb garbanzo dried beans soaked well and cooked (or soaked, sprouted then cooked.. i have done both, they are both good but sprouting is more work and a more bitter taste so you'd use more sweet in the form of a date or more orange juice)
juice from a large orange, or two smaller oranges
a fresh clove of garlic
fresh turmeric, a few inches or more if you want the more medicinal qualities of turmeric. 
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup orange juice (using fresh citrus is tastier)
salt 
olive oil.  For garnish or add a few tablespoons to make more rich

It's easiest to blend garlic with turmeric, lemon, orange juice, and (optional) olive oil, and a pinch or two of salt.  Start with a few inches of turmeric so you can experiment with flavor.
Add tahini and gradually add garbanzo beans.  if the mix gets too dry to blend well, it's fine to add more citrus or water to taste.  Add more of whatever you think it is missing according to considerations below:

Customizing:  This hummus has a good balance of savory (beans), nutty (i think turmeric and of course tahini), sweet (orange juice), bitter (lemon), spicy (garlic), salt (a little of this quality can come from the turmeric).  So if the balance is not according to how you prefer when you are making it, up the quantity of whichever ingredient you need more of and it'll be great!

  

Zucchini Pie -- Brett Broadhead

1 C Sugar
1/3 C Flour
1/2 to 1 T Ground Cinnamon
1/2 to 1 T Ground Cloves
1/2 C Lemon Juice
8 Cups Zucchini
1 9" Pie Crust
1 T Coarse Sugar for crust

Zucchini should be soft where you can push into it with a fingernail, quarter zucchini, peel, remove seeds and slice 1/8" to 1/4" slices.  They should look like apple slices.  Saute with lemon juice (covered) until translucent.  Drain off juice and let rest for 5 minutes, drain again; should be cooked down to 6 cups.  Combine sugar, flour and spices and pour into pie.  Put on top crust and make cuts into top crust about 8 in all.  Sprinkle with coarse sugar.  Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until golden brown crust.  Let cool down and try to taste the difference between apple pie and zucchini pie.
