something.

Don't know what you meant by that snark, but all this windows user
needed to do was click on the URL to open it. I don't need Alton
Brown to tell me how to cook a steak, so I didn't watch it. Yawn

Same here; it's the same process for ALL Windows users. Click on the link, pretty simple I think.

The thread header was the oh so subtle clue.

Yes. The copyright holder has done so, several times.

There's a simple linux utility (youtube-dl) that dwnlds the full
U2B audio/video as an mp4 file. I'm sure there's a Windows
and Mac equivalent, but you'll hafta gobble for it, as I don't know
of one.

I've posted this before, but some of you may have missed it.

My Israeli cousin suggested draining canned chickpeas and putting them
in a pot with fresh water to cover by a couple of inches. Bring it to a
boil and boil for a minute or two. Drain and cool.

The flavor is so much fresher when you treat the canned chickpeas this
way. A friend just tried this method and raved about the difference in
flavor.

I prefer dried chickpeas. It's a bit more trouble to soak and then cook
them, but you don't have to worry about salt and other additives. I
usually buy a one-pound bag, soak and cook them, and make hummus with
two cups' worth. The rest go into the freezer for the next time, or for
salads and such. I use the recipe from "A Book of Middle Eastern Food",
which is very straightforward.

That book also has a good recipe for no-fuss baklava that is worth trying.

I've never seen them fresh in the supermarket, but I used to live across
the road from a chickpea field in a rural area of San Luis Obispo county
in California. Apparently they lend themselves to "dry farming", that
is, they will grow in the scant rain that the area receives, without
needing to be irrigated.

The owner of the field also ran the liquor store in town. One afternoon
I saw someone head out into the field, on foot, with a large trash bag;
he was obviously stealing the beans. I walked over to the liquor store
and told the owner what was happening, and he called the police and
headed over to the field. I don't know what happened to the thief.

I never actually tried the fresh beans; I don't know where the farmer
sold them, but I could see them on the bushes.

Sounds like an interesting experiment.
