Best rainy day activity- besides napping 😴 - making homemade hummus! Canned chickpeas, warmed ala Melissa Clark @nytfood, @ottolenghi recipe from Jerusalem cookbook (with a couple of tweaks to my personal taste). Smooth and very creamy! • • • • #hummus #vegan #vegetarian #chickpeas #protein #legumes #snack #mediterranean #jerusalem #garlic #garlicbreathfordays #f52grams #eater #food #foodpic #instayum #instagood #instafood #inmykitchen #fresh #freshflamingo #chezflamingo (at South Miami, Florida)

Stopped in to the new @hankandharrys in #southmiami for a bite. Hopefully, my dental work will be done in a couple of weeks, so I’ll really be able sink my teeth into something substantial! There’s SO much variety on their menu, it’s going to take some time to get a real feel for the place, so I’m reserving judgment for now. 🙂 • • • • #lunch #lunchstagram #deli #newkidontheblock #somi #food #foodporn #foodpic #instafood #eeeeeats #tastingtable #eatermiami #inmyhood #fresh #freshflamingo (at Hank and Harry's Deli)

My little Makrut Lime is blooming, too! Just wish the insects and Swallowtail butterflies would leave it alone, or I’ll have no leaves left to cook with! • • • • #makrut #makrutlime #makrutnotkaffir #citrus #inmyyard #inmygarden #inmybackyard #sofl #somi #southmiami #southflorida #soflalife #winterinsouthflorida #growyourown #fresh #freshflamingo #chezflamingo (at South Miami, Florida)

My little Meyer Lemon 🍋 tree is *covered* in blooms! And bees 🐝! Wonder if I’ll get more than one or two scraggly fruits this season. 🤞🏻Smells divine, though! • • • • #bee #fruit #meyerlemon #inmyyard #inmybackyard #igrewthis #garden #benevolentneglect #freshflamingo #chezflamingo (at South Miami, Florida)
