Hummus

I love this stuff!!

It has been a large part of my diet now for three days. It is a majority of at least one of my meals every day. Now, I've always been a fan of hummus, but I currently have a big tub of it sitting in the fridge that I feel compelled to eat. Mr. 32 oz. tub calls to me with the delectable spread of softly smashed garbanzo beans contained within the walls of his plastic casing.

I was first introduced to hummus through my friend who prefers vegetables over meat. She served it to me on pita bread with melted cheese and a tomato. I ate it simply enough not realizing that this would be the start of a taste memory that would haunt me as a strong craving for the years to come. (okay, to be honest this was probably last year, I was just using a little exaggeration for dramatic effect)

To make things clear I don't really prefer vegetables or hummus over meat. Neither do I prefer meat over vegetables or hummus. I prefer to eat them all equally. Grant it, over time, my consumption of hummus will most likely fall far below my consumption of food from the other two categories - reduced so much so as to be grouped in with the vegetables again. Meat is amazing and so are vegetables. It is impossible to live a balanced life without both of them together.
