"The taste and texture of these delicious fried treats took me back to childhood memories of Holland where croquettes are ubiquitous. My heart sang with joy at the first bite -- I was transported back to my youth! Thank You So Much, Rachel! These are so good you can serve them to guests with No Guilt Whatsoever and they are arguably even better than the Thanksgiving dinner they started out as (no kidding!).

"Finally, "Hummus for the 21st Century"! THANK YOU, Sunny, for a worthy tahini substitute; yogurt "brightens" hummus in a most welcome way. My Tips: add up to 1 tsp. Sesame Oil to recapture tahini flavor if you miss it. Thin recipe with 1/2 cup yogurt: an excellent alternative to cream dressings. Try Greek yogurt or strain standard yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined sieve overnight in the fridge. Hummus goes glam: Spread hummus over a platter; create a shallow center "well." Sprinkle with cayenne or paprika & toasted nuts (pine, slivered almonds, crushed walnuts). Drizzle olive oil overall & scatter minced fresh herbs atop (dill, parsley or mint).
