Well I kinda forgot about the second step of cooking them oops...so there I was with my electric mixer trying to blend them and blend them and I was thinking gosh this electric hand mixer is getting really hot and it's not blending them very well maybe I need more moisture so I added some more olive oil then a bit of water, and the garbanzo kept growing when I finally figured out what I had forgotten to do I had about 10 cups of slightly wizzed garbanzo beans with water, olive oil garlic and tahini. So then I tried to cook them with bit more water, it didn't work... they ended up being fed to the dogs with their dinner for the next week...
So this time I decided to keep it simple and bought a can of cooked garbanzo beans.

This looks delicious! And now I know why my homemade hummus always tastes weird - no soaking or cooking - thank you for clearing up that mystery for me :-)
