yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got love in my tummy
I know there is a lot of debate around this topic, but I have made the official decision:
Hummus
is actually the world's most perfect food.
Its not the incredible edible egg, or whatever used that catch phrase-
its hummus.
My love affair with hummus began many years ago.
Armed with the recipe from my eccentric vegetarian Human Relations professor, I spread the hummus love to whomever I was able. I think hummus has made a difference in many lives.
In Dubai I eat hummus nearly every day. Not only because it is cheap, although that is a factor, but becuase it is fabulous.
It is such a versatile food. You can have it the traditional way, with pita bread. You can dip vegetables in it. You can put it on a sandwich. You can add any sort of flavor your heart desires to jazz it up a bit. You can spread it on a bagel. You can have it with chips. It is also the perfect complement to be mixed in fork by fork with many dishes. Its an appetizer, a main course, a side dish, a dessert? (thats a matter of personal preference).
My personal favorite hummus creation was a pita pocket with hummus, fresh mushrooms, alfalfa and baby spinach all topped off with a little raspberry vinagrette dressing. Delightful!
So, next time you are enjoying a portion of hummus, share some with your neighbor. Spread the love.

lol...you are such a nerd!
and although i resisted for many years (claiming to not enjoy the texture), i have since overcome my fear of hummus... although i'm not sure it's quite to "love" yet.
do people ever eat hummus warm??
like on cold Minnesota nights under a blanket and in front of a fireplace???? ...with a cinnamon stick in it maybe?? singing songs and sharing stories while refilling your cup of hot hummus?
HUMMUS FOREVER!
your pocket creation was great! you got me to eat mushrooms!!!
So what's this infamous recipe you speak of....do tell!! I'm in need of some more hummus in my life.
