Toasted sesame seeds to make tahini, all I had in the pantry was a can of black beans. Black bean hummus with lemon juice, Cumin, salt, tahini and a bit of cayenne, them made spinach black bean hummus wraps. I think someone is volunteering to do a taste test!

Discovering that he kitchen shears that came with your 6 year old knife set have a bottle opener built-in for the first time = alcoholic level, Champion.
