Ah yes... the tahini. That`s one of the reasons I didn`t make it. I kept
forgetting to get that, and my wife has been doing most of the shopping
lately. I went out the other day specificially to get tahini and found
it at the Bulk Barn. On the way home I stopped at a discount grocery
store for the chick peas and lo and beyond, they had tahini. They
actually had three different brands of it. That surprised me because
they rarely have specialty items.
