Read-a-thon involves reading (obviously) and snacks. Lots and lots of snacks. How does one make it through 24 hours of reading with out delicious noms?
Dinner
Every read-a-thon, I try to make one new thing. This time around, I tried my hand at hummus. The experience taught me two things: I need a bigger food processor, and I make large messes. While I used this About.com recipe as I guide, I didn't generally follow it. I tend to taste as I go and add what ingredient I think is necessary.
Even though I just had dinner, my tummy is rumbling just thinking about all the food I can eat tomorrow. I'll be sure to take pictures of my snackage throughout the day.

| Your ingredients. The tahini did not want to be found at the grocery store. |

| Over filling my tiny food processor was my first mistake. |

| Several (dozen) minutes later, I had whirred and tasted everything into delicious submission. |
