Beyond the Plate

I make my own tahini. Recently I used sesame seeds that didn’t quite smell fresh, even though the expiration date was 8 months out. The “not fresh” taste was clearly evident. I tried adding all kinds of ingredients to make it taste better, but it didn't work. Sometimes, you just have to start over- a lesson for life.
