Of course, there's the flavour factor to consider ... versus the observation that tahini+jam makes for a kinda messy sandwich (the tahini keeps trying to escape out the sides). Didn't realise there was that much iron in either one.

Kinda hatin' the irony: rescheduled an appointment because I didn't feel well enough to go to the doctor. Feh.

Having a very bad day body-wise. The back and knee pain and difficulty dealing with stairs are obviously the fibromyalgia; I'm not sure whether the painfully hyperacute hearing is from that as well or is pre-migraine aura (my peripheral vision seems strange as well). No constant skullcrushing or eyestabbing pain, just the intermittent really-does-feel-like-my-head-is-being-crushed pain when a vehicle goes by that has a lot of low frequencies in its engine-noise or that has more rumble than whoosh in its tire-noise, even without the addition of stupidthumpy bass-boosted sound systems. Gonna put pillows over my ears and close my eyes. Falling behind on my LJ friendspage again.

Also, tahini does not come in crunchy. Gentle hugs; feel better soon.

> painfully hyperacute hearing

There's actually a name for this-- "hyperacusis", astonishingly enough...

Generally not curable, iirc, though there are (expensive, of course) hearing-aid-like devices to control the volume so it's less unpleasant.

But what you've got does sound more migraine-like.

And peanut butter (the real stuff, made from nought but peanuts) rocks.

Well, tahini is generally used more as a condiment than as a main ingredient like peanut butter, so you don't get quite the same amount of fat & carbs you get from pb.

Wonder how it stacks up against mayo.

Damn, now I want a gyro, and I'm miles away from any decent Greek food. Thanks a lot.

I like this kind of goopy beige stuff. It's not quite so goopy, actually.

10 oz tofu
3/4 cup peanut butter (I prefer creamy, but crunchy is ok.)
1 tablespoon tamari
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lime juice (can substitute lemon, or cider vinegar)
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

(This needs the food processor. And it needs to sit after making it.)
It's good as a dip, or on bread. It feels a lot more substantial than plain peanut butter.
