I guess that is a good thing to know.  Ruth and I made a batch of Hummus
using the recipe I posted to Sean a few days ago.  I used the
store-bought tahini as well.  Your experience sounds like the time I
tried using the food processor to try to make a batch of almond butter
from almonds.  It never did work, and I gave up before the motor got too
hot.  Now I get it at Fresh Market or the Lowes Foods store, both of
which have the fresh ground peanut butter or almond butter machines.

We used the food grinder attachment for our first batch as the book
said.  Next time, we will try the food processor instead as it will be
less clean-up work and will hopefully make a smoother paste.

      Title: Sesame Wafers
 Categories: Desserts
      Yield: 48 cookies

    1/2 c  Butter or margarine
      1 c  C&H Golden Brown Sugar
      1 ts Vanilla
      1    Egg; unbeaten
    1/2 c  Sesame seeds, toasted
      1 c  Sifted all-purpose flour
    1/4 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Salt

  Cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla.  Beat in egg, then stir in
  sesame seeds.  Sift together dry ingredients; add to mixture and mix
  well. Drop in small, ball-like mounds about 3 inches apart in
  well-greased baking sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes
  (dough will spread, puff up while baking, then sink).  Cool a minute
  before removing from sheet. Makes about 4 dozen thin, crisp cookies.

  TO TOAST SESAME SEEDS: Spread seeds in shallow pan and set in 375
  degree oven until browned (8 to 10 minutes).  Stir often.
