GlennR Jan 2021 1:39pm, 14 Jan 2021 55,286 posts	0 GlennR I do understand time signatures and life is too short for me to click that link, but from memory I suspect what is called 7/4 is usually alternating bars of four and three beats. All You Need Is Love being the easiest to remember example.
Diogenes Jan 2021 1:47pm, 14 Jan 2021 56,622 posts	0 Diogenes That sort of echoes what I mean. To me, bar placement can often seem to be somewhat arbitrary. What you say is correct about 7/4, it just saves you having to alternate between 3/4 & 4/4 in each bar when written down. There's also an interesting bit about 7/4 shuffle.

I often make notes when reading of things that I'd like to come back to later on, perhaps to su...

Hummus recipe:

Proper hummus is served with a drizzle of olive oil, rather than oil being a significant ingredient in its own right. This is what should go in it:

• 1½ cups cooked chickpeas or 1 (15-ounce) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed*
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, mashed
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• Approximately 2-4 tablespoons room-temperature water or aquafaba, or more if needed
• Optional garnishes: extra virgin olive oil, sumac or paprika, finely chopped parsley or other herbs, whole chickpeas

This particular recipe from thymeandtoast.com but it’s typical of the Middle Eastern way of making it.
