          It’s just a joke word combining “ja” and “nein”. It’s like English’ “yesn’t”.

        Unsalted? Demon!!!

        Also maybe sugar and cinnamon on tortilla chips with peanut butter and a chocolate drizzle would be good. Just toast the chips to heat them and toss in some brown sugar and cinnamon.

    I was going to make a joke about a hummus and jelly sandwich, but now that I think about it, that might be pretty good.

    Thinking about a tart cherry jam with hummus on a pita.

        On that note, sriracha sauce on ice cream is pretty good. Add some salt for more enhancement.

        I haven’t gone too crazy with it, but dropping my ideas of what foods do and don’t go in main courses or desserts has improved both of them for me. Sausage and savory chocolate sauce is great, and apples are a lot like potatoes when cooked in a savory dish, while doing the same sweet/sour/salty/umami balancing for desserts makes them better (note that that doesn’t mean to make them all equal, dessert will still be sweet overall, just if you add representation for all the flavour groups other than bitter, it’ll usually enhance the taste).

      Peanuts and chickpeas are both legumes.

      Tahini is made from sesame seeds. So, I’d say not as closely related.

              I read it as “because chickpeas and peanuts are both legumes, one could see the comparison, however, since tahini is included, peanuts would not work well as a replacement”

      I agree, superficially they’re similar but Hummus is emulsified in an external fat, the tahini, while peanut butter is emulsified in its own fat.

      Tahini is closer to peanut butter than hummus, hummus is like making a peanut sauce from the peanut butter.

      Yep. It’s the recommended substitute if you have no tahini on hand. There is a slight change in flavor profile, but if you add enough garlic, no one is likely to notice.

      Bad hummus is. Good hummus will have other ingredients like garlic and lemon.

      Peanut butter is the opposite. Good peanut butter is just ground peanuts. Bad peanut butter includes a bunch of random garbage like sugar and palm oil. You know peanut butter is good if it has oil on top at the store.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
