Same here. Now I can refer folks to this essay. I think the (deliberate) misunderstanding is due to the unwillingness (inability) to understand "two things at once" - that these can be parallel, even overlap, as they seem to see the world only in binary opposition.
Ah! Ice cubes are the magic ingredient for super smooth hummus! Also, a bit of sumac sprinkled on top.
And, I love the balance of powers and flavors. This is one of the many things which frustrates me about how the guvmint is working (or not) right now -- inequality of power. Argh.
Thank you. I get so tired of trying to explain this. My fifth grade students understand, why not conservative adults?
Yes! Our allegiances can lead to a commitment to misunderstanding the basics. Hope you make this recipe!
Homemade hummus. My favorite. Never used ice cubes. Assembled ingredients for later.

What a perfect GEM of a post! Eloquent, well-constructed, creative, and clear. This one is a prize-winner!
Thanks, Cari!
You missed the chance to say that, though ice may smooth out hummus, ICE is not good for democracy!!
Ha! Either way, crushing ICE is key.
What a great way to make the complexity of our Democracy clean & clear! THanks!
much appreciated, y'all!
What do you think of enhancing hummus with more diversity, like avocados and white beans instead of garbanzos.
Nature loves diversity! I've made it with both of those ingredients with amazing results.
Surely I can make this recipe without using a blender!?
