A Strong Belief in Wicker: Tie dye?

Tie dye?

I've always had a strange love for tie dye. Sadly my last tie dye shirt died quite a few years ago now.

Perhaps it's time to get a new one?

Sadly these aren't t-shirt designs. Although I reckon I'd buy that second one.

They're homegrown beetroot.

Giving their lives for a rather delicious beetroot hummus. Loosely based on this recipe. I forgot the onion, and used peanut butter again instead of tahini, as I learned from Nigella.

Saturday Snapshot, is a wonderful weekly meme from Alyce at home with books

I love homegrown beetroot, but it's after effects are not so great!
Hope you stayed cool this week Louise.; 19 January 2013 at 17:35

Thanks for sharing.

Susan Lindquist said...: As I looked at the first shot, I thought ... Is that a tile? The fiber of the beetroot came through ... what a clever series of photos and your tie-dye connection is just perfect! Cool!
Very cool!; 20 January 2013 at 00:33

Paulita said...: Wow. Nice color and design. I think you're better off without the tie dye shirt. Just make this hummus whenever you're craving tie dye. Here's Mine; 20 January 2013 at 02:09

Good tip about using peanut butter, I never would have thought of it.
