I appreciate the link but it took me forever to get to that page -
dial up service you know, on top of an old computer, and a cheap "God
I wish I would die soon before all this crap I own dies first"
mentality. I read the ingredients. I like spicy foods, eat a lot of
them. But I've cooked chick peas that were already cooked, to soften
them up some more, and they're never soft enough for me except for
that time in that restaurant in St Augustine. I loved that soup. I
will be honest here and let you know that I probably won't try the
recipe because it requires oven use - roasting or whatever - and I'm
living strictly top of the stove and microwave for now, although I
will use the oven for a quick broil of something. Thanks for sending
though, I appreciate it. By the way, my arab relatives always had
candies around, and I remember hard chick peas that were sprinkled
with something - not a candy actually, just a sort of nut treat - and
they weren't bad - but out of the group of different snacks available
they were one of my least favorites. The chick peas used as snacks
were dried out and very light in weight and crunched easily in the
mouth. I liked them, just didn't seek them out as one of my faves.
