Angie’s Table:RBy Angie Bridgesecently in the last decade or sohummus has become the King ofsnacks in the US. However, it has a lineage much older than that. Coming from Arabic origin, the spread of cooked chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed butter), lemon, garlic and olive oil has been traced back to cookbooks from the 13th Century and long been a staple food for the Middle East, North African and Mediterranean cultures with each civilization bringing in its own version. I’m here for them all as I’ve never met a hummus I didn’t like. Besides being served with pita bread as we do at Copa, at home my favorite dippers are veggies like cucumbers, carrots, raw cauliflower and sugar snap peas.By now many of you who’ve visitedThe Honorable HummusCopa have tried our house hummus and I’m proud to say that it’s been on our menu for over 18 years! We put our own twist to it and I am going to share it with you all today. I encourage you to explore the world of hummus. It is not just made for dipping either. Hummus makes an excellent base for wraps and sandwiches, and believe it or not on pizza. Have some fun or if you just want to eat it. Stop by my place, I always have some on hand.Ciao for Now, AngieCopa’s Hummus San AntonioYou’ll Need: 2 (15 oz.) cans of chickpeas drained and liquid reserved, 1⁄2 cup tahini paste, 1⁄4 olive oil, 4 cloves of roasted garlic, juice from two lemons, 2 chipotle peppersin adobo (available in all grocers), and salt to taste.

While our trip was a great travel experience, we also reflected as we attended daily Mass, prayed the Rosary and observed the Stations of the Cross for the sake of our religious flourishment. Wake-up call was 6:00 A.M., but my friends and I talked until 1:00 A.M., celebrating our friendships and experience.As the week progressed, I dreaded the thought of leaving, but was so grateful for those who worked so hard to make the trip possible. Sitting in the papal audience, listening to Pope Francis speak in my native Polish meant everything to me. This trip meant everything to me.” Daria Cosnowski, class of 2023.
