Re: 1 month update

Hey Jenn, what is hummus and miso soup? Those are new to me. Is the

soup

homemade also? Rice sat better with me at one month, but I understand

that

most people cannot eat much rice. Good luck, Betty>>>>

Hi Betty! Pardon the corny subject line... I'm feeling mischevious.

*smile* It's my true self coming out... a real smarta$$ ya know?

Miso soup is Japanese in origin, and made from a seasoned soybean

concentrate. You can find miso in a paste form, waiting to be mixed, one

teaspoon in a cup of boiling water, at a health food or oriental grocery

store. A good brand to try if you can find it is, " Mello Miso. " If in

doubt ask the customer assistants in the store. If you want to try before

you buy... go to a Japanese restaurant or sushi bar (If you don't care for

fish, don't worry, they also serve chicken teriyaki. *S*) and ask to try a

bowl of miso soup.

Hummus is a Meditranean (sp?) dip/condiment made from garbanzos, olive oil,

lemon juice, and tahini (sesame seed paste). I make my own to avoid the fat

from the olive oil and sesame. It is originally served with pita bread, but

I love it on my crackers. (When I can eat more solid food: I love eating

hummus with sliced tomatos, cucumbers, and a little feta cheese.)

This is how I make my hummus.

Place in food processor and blend until smooth:

1 can of garbanzo beans (undrained)

2 Tbs lemon Juice

salt, pepper, garlic to taste

(optional) 1 shake of Tabasco

(optional) 1 tsp ground cumin

Eat on crackers... *after* the liquids only postop phase.

Hope that helps!!
