It was recently pointed out on facebook that I talk about hummus a lot. Okay, yes. I do. It's just that I'm having a mad, passionate affair with it right now. I have always enjoyed it, but I've only recently discovered I can buy that shit at the grocery store.
We were not raised on Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food, duh, and I feel kind of citified when I talk about how much I love it. But I really love it. I want to learn how to make it in my own kitchen. I have recipes for all my favorites - hummus, falafel, tzatziki, kibbeh, even homemade whole wheat pitas. Someday I'm going to create a feast! When I finally do, I will BLOG ABOUT IT.
But until then, I have been buying hummus and pitas out of the deli section of Wal-Mart and basically eating it for every meal. My store carries the classic, roasted pine nut, red pepper and garlic flavors. I wish they would stock the Greek olive, sun dried tomato, and "luscious lemon" (really? really?) varieties - I would try the hell out of them. I am not AT ALL sure about jalepeno or CHUNKY hummus. Hmm.
Anyway, you probably don't care about any of this, but I'm just saying. I'm in love with hummus. It's always in the forefront of my mind that I could really go for some hummus about right now. What is your current Thing? I bet you have one!
