North of Bay: South of Sanity: Hummus Is The Problem

Okay, can we just be honest for a second? Hummus sucks. I know it's become fashionable to bring hummus to parties. We top it with pine nuts, red peppers, sundried tomatoes and of course the guilt imposed on us by our parents. But really, it's just mashed up chickpeas with half of the flavor of a Very Osmond Christmas Special. That's right...white, white, white, white.

Now I realize there are some cultures that base their diet on hummus and I mean them no offense. But, some of those cultures also have catchy taglines like, "Jihad, Death to America." Could it be that they are so angry because of the gas caused by chickpeas and not that we let our women wander around without covering their heads, faces, well...pretty much every thing? Wouldn't they be a little more friendly if they switched to Totinos Pizza Rolls?

So, in the name of world peace, let's cut back on the hummus and find some other things to dip our carrots and celery into. Ancient Chinese Recipe: one packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix stirred into nonfat sour cream tastes SO much better than hummus!
