TIL the trick to making a silky smooth hummus: Cook the chickpeas with baking soda. The slightly alkaline cooking water created by the baking soda breaks down the skins of the chickpeas.
Also, this recipe made what might be the best hummus I’ve ever tasted. ?

I just used the eSIM feature in the iPhone XS for the first time. Setup was super easy. I downloaded the T-Mobile app, walked through the prompts, purchased a pre-paid plan, and it just works. Kudos to the Apple engineers that worked on the feature.

@manton Thanks for the stickers. And excellent choice of stamps. I hadn’t seen the eclipse stamps before. Very cool!
