Bacon & Brown Sugar Smokies
Warning! These Bacon & Brown Sugar Smokies are addictive! This is reminiscent of Brown Sugar Bacon, which is transcendent. My husband thinks the little smokies should be bathed in Dijon mustard before wrapping up in the bacon, which would be very good.

Sautéed Fresh Chickpeas
Sautéed Fresh Chickpeas Fresh chickpeas are freshly picked green garbanzo beans. Fresh chickpeas are available only a few weeks a year in farmers and specialty markets. I happened to walk into a wonderful ethic market the other day and it's the first thing I spotted. I bought them without knowing what to do with them. They are freshly picked green garbanzo beans. This method sautés them in their shell and you eat them like edamame.

Hummus
This Hummus recipe is perfect. In 1977, Julee Russo and Sheila Lukins opened and ran a gourmet food shop in New York City called The Silver Palate, the first gourmet carry-out shop in Manhattan. It happened to be around the corner from my first apartment, which was 333 square feet facing North with a reflection of the Empire State Building in the window across the street. (I was trying to put a spin on my teeny tiny studio apartment!) In the 1980s they wrote The Silver Palate Cookbook, which had an enormous influence on me. I got really serious about cooking during this time.
