Homemade Hummus

Until about a year ago i never heard of hummus, but my daughter paula was with me one day at an oriental food store in carbondale and she bought a jar that was already made. i asked what it was. When she told me, i decided it probably could be made much cheaper than she bought it for, so i went to looking and experimenting. i bought tahini to make it with and it was very expensive. i made it by a recipe i found on the net and when i knew what it was supposed to taste like i experimented some more till i did not have to have tahini--as it is made in this recipe. anyway, this is the final experiment she likes best.
