    Rain and hummus

    in General Discussion

    Today we got a nice heavy rain, though it didn't last long. Every little bit helps, though, and the creosote bushes are perfuming the air.


    I decided to go wild and try making a pinto bean hummus (I cook dried beans and keep them in the freezer). Beans, tahini, olive oil, garlic, lime juice, serrano peppers. 🤞🏻


    Nervous question: anyone catch omicron and have the first symptom be nausea/vomiting? Because this is happening to a (boosted) friend who did indoor dining 2 days ago. 😳

    Hummus is yummy to me, any white bean, but slap that flatbread with some greens, a couple slices of tomato, maybe a little cuke if in the fridge, also add a drizzle of my fave dark balsamic and voila, dindin delight. Yum, send some homemade hummus, please, Kiki. I know what I buy prepacked is a far different product than what you cooked. Won't you be my neighbor? lol

    @WTF Vax Up It's super easy to make if you have a food processor! And I always throw in a couple serrano peppers lol. Last night I made a spicy watermelon gazpacho! 🍉🌶🍅🍋🥒

    Chickpeas vs Pinto beans. I'll eat hummus but it's not my first choice. SLap it on flat bread and chomp chomp? Sounds like a lot of carbs.


    I may have had covid about2 weeks before it was news. There was no testing at that time. I don't know. I was so sick i couldn't do much. When the official news of the pandemic and vaccine came along. I was on that in a heartbeat. The misery of whatever I had was so bad, I never wanted to experience anything worse.


    Good Luck.

    @Dip Dibbler I dip a lot of veggies in my hummus -- tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, carrots.


    My bf and I also had a mystery illness the first week of March 2020. It was one week after we attended crowded spring training games in Phoenix and someone coughed on me. Who knows? The symptoms weren't bad but I was super fatigued for several weeks.

    @Dip Dibbler You're right that hummus and pita/bread can be a lot of carbs. I eat a lot of veggies though and am not anti-carb. Stess re: the pandemic in early 2020 got me really thin (5'7 108 lbs) so I get my calories where I can.

    Maga version of this story: record breaking is a good thing, the sweet sauce of life. Meghalaya’s Mawsynram — the world’s wettest place — rewrote its June rainfall records held since 1940. The 24-hour rainfall recorded here on Friday was a whopping 1003.6mm, surpassing the previous record of 945.4mm of 1966. Calculation 24 hr Friday rainfall: Mawsynram 1003.6mm = 40.14 in

    Cherrapunji: 972 mm = 38.88 in

    The average monsoon season rainfall of Mumbai, June to September, is 2,205.8mm = 88.23 inches.

    How bout them apples? Ummm... can anyone say climate change? Anyone, anyone at all?? No fake news here, Florida's gonna drown quickly in the not so far future.

    Thanks much for this current affairs post and stay safe.

    Nearby Cherrapunji on the Sohra plateau also received record rain - about 4000+ mm in 18 days in June, but slightly lower on a daily basis than Mawsynram:

    Mawsynram sets new June rainfall record at 1003 mm in 24 hours
    The second closest rainfall record was held by nearby Cherrapunji, another wet place, where the 24-hour rainfall on Friday was 972mm. For the past three days, large areas of Meghalaya and particularly around Sohra, have been battered with extremely heavy rain.

    Both places are on plateaus in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas that just pop out of the plains after relatively flat terrain of several hundred km from the Bay of Bengal. When moisture-laden monsoon clouds reach the region, they climb about a 1000m+ relatively abruptly, and dump a lot of precipitation on top of the plateaus, making both places among the wettest in the world. There is a similar Mesa in Columbia, South America, which also sees the same phenomenon annually.

    @siva.chander It's really cool how terrain affects precipitation. We're going to get 1" over the next 2 days and feel very grateful! Life in the Chihuahuan Desert.

    I did have GI symptoms (mainly diarrhea) from my breakthrough Omicron infection months ago, so nausea is certainly a possibility.


    On rain, we're having the first rainfall right now from the SW monsoons, which happen in summer in India. It's not as heavy as some areas in the hills - Mawsynram in NE India got over 100 cm of rain in 24 hours recently. I haven't ever been there, but here's a visual of a bridge near a waterfall after the deluge:




    Those ~100 cm are about twice what California receives in an average *year*.

    @siva.chander That is CRAZY rain! In my part of New Mexico USA we get about 9" (22 cm) a year! Summer is our monsoon season as well.
