So … I hated the non food-related picture I took today, so here you go: what I ate today:

1 orange at about 7 because I couldn’t wait for my scheduled breakfast at 10.

2 shortbread biscuits that were supposed to be the base of a trifle because it was eat a carb or be massively sick on the way to breakfast.

1 salad-sized plate from the buffet: chicken sausages with onions & peppers, steamed mix veg, babaganoush, mutabel, smoked salmon, 1/2 a pita.

A second salad plate about half an hour later because I was still freaking hungry: mutabel, watermelon, pineapple, babaganoush, another half pita.

Was hungry for lunch then because getting up at 5:30 because the dogs are jerks doesn’t suit me – had the only thing that looked appealing at the grocery store: minute coconut rice & rotisserie chicken.

Dinner was the second half of the rice packet & the other quarter chicken.

Post-sunset walks are going to be the norm for the next half year or so:

Herbed Hummus Dip

Mmmmm … hummus. This quick to whip together dip is a fantastic last-minute thing to bring to a party, and pairs well with pretty much anything you want to dip in it (I served with raw veggies & pretzels, but potato chips were also fantastic).

gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan

Herbed Hummus Dip

Prepared hummus
4 Tbsp. olive oil
Big hand parsley
Big hand mint
Juice of 1 lemon
1 green chili
1 tsp. ground cumin
Salt & pepper
Toasted pine nuts
Pomegranate molasses
Zaatar

Whiz together the herbs, oil, lemon juice, chili & cumin. Salt and pepper to taste.

Add the hummus to a small bowl. Swirl the herby oil over top. Add a swirl of pomegranate molasses. Sprinkle with the pine nuts. Dust with zaatar. Serve

Makes enough for a 6-person game night with a second dip
