Hey, David Brooks? News flash!
Guess what? Old white retired military guys living outside the Beltway dig hummus too.
From e-mail exchanged with my father on Sunday:
“I feel better after eating left over frozen yogurt I had made weeks ago and horseradish hummus with melba toast and red wine…I only buy hummus when it is on SUPER special. This was still $1.99, marked down $1.60. I would never pay $3.59 for a little container which I could kill in one sitting…”
And to think my father fits the definition of a hipster parent. Who knew?

Go Dad go! He’s like my parents with the tofu cookery (thanks to the vegan children).

I learned to make my own hummus a long time ago. Toast your own pita bread and serve it with the hummus, baked garlic spread over crusty bread…and a glass (or two) of white wine. Sinfully delicious! Hey….the cd arrived. It’s great. My thanks to you .
