Celebrate failures, part two?

 I frequently try shortcuts in cooking just to see if I can get away with it, and make cooking a dish I make frequently more efficient. Today I wanted to make hummus...and decided to see if I could get away with not dragging the heavy Cuisinart up from the bottom shelf. 

I thought since I use a stick blender all the time to puree soups rather than a proper blender, maybe a similar shortcut would work for hummus.  So I kept the chickpeas in the stockpot they cooked in, and tried using the stick blender. While it did make hummus, it was kinda a  lengthy pain in the backside to blend them, and the end result wasn't as creamy as the properly Cuized hummus. 

We'll still eat it, I froze some of it.... labeled "Crappy hummus" just to make sure I don't accidentally whip it out to serve to guests (not that there are a bazillion guests these pandemic days).
