Life questionsDo you drain the oil that forms on Sabra Roasted Pine Nut Humus?
Is there etiquette surrounding topping consumption when groups are sharing Sabra Roasted Pine Nut Humus?
Is it possible to sustain yourself eating nothing other than Sabra Roasted Pine Nut Humus with Tostitos multigrain scoops?
What if I added vodka and a mixer to that diet?
What is the appropriate bag to hummus ratio?
Why am I out of Sabra Roasted Pine Nut Humus?
Oh, I'm not...does this provide evidence that I have a problem?
Is there a shorthand version for Sabra Roasted Pine Nut Humus?
If there is, does that increase the chances of a support group for Sabra Roasted Pine Nut Humus addicts?
Why am I still talking about Sabra Roasted Pine Nut Humus?
Especially when I could be using this time to eat Sabra Roasted Pine Nut Humus?
Also, Mike and Alex in a picture of oddly horrible quality...no idea what I did to cause that

If you ever happen to be visiting Baltimore, you really need to visit Baba's Mediterranean Kitchen if you love hummus that much (like I do).
:::link:::
They feature a new specialty flavor each month. For March, as an example, they're making curried roasted red pepper. My favorite was being offered a couple months ago, spicy peanut. And every October it's always pumpkin hummus. Their ghannouge, dolmas, and zucchini fries also rock the house as well. When I began living in the same neighborhood, I made a point to get dinner there at least once a week. It's really that good and addictive, like Sabra Roasted Pine Nut Humus apparently is to you. One thing, though. They have a slogan (and even sell T-shirts with it printed on them) that says, "Friends don't let friends eat store-bought hummus." That's kind of an assy thing to say, maybe, but it shows how much pride they take in the hummus they sell.

Whole Foods DiaryCategory:
So after Paul's enthusiastic endorsement of Whole Foods prepared food section, and my witnessing of his salad creation that backed it up,I decided to use this week to up my veggie intake.
While Paul wants one in Buffalo, I find Wegman's to be far better. their prepared food definitely blows away Wegman's, and is comparably priced, but that pricing comparison disappears outside of that...and dramatically so. A simple muffin is half the size of one at the co-op, and yet it costs about 15% more. Plenty other examples exist.
Whole Foods absolutely mastered display. A part of me really appreciates this. In one of our discussions, Paul asked why I didn't eat vegetables more as a child, and part of it was due to poverty and how less attractive (and tasty) produce is when you have to buy it on the cheap. Unfortunately, WF prices out that population. That also leads me to question what is happening to all of the produce that isn't in pristine condition.
I also abhor how much pseudo science exists in WF, but this is more widely known.
I'll be trying to continue this trend with Wegman's salad bar, but I'm really going to miss these meals.

Snowboarding, round 2So, got to head out to Holiday Valley again. Day started amazing with about 6 inches of fresh snow. Later on it became a more challenging, as the ice underneath was exposed in some areas while the snow started to form piles. This made runs a balance between flopping over snowbanks and occasionally skidding across ice. Maybe it isn't feasible for technical reasons, but it seems like the slopes would be so much better if they groomed them midday. Had a strap break too...which the place charged me $21 to fix, about as much as a ripoff as the $4 apple juice.
Didn't stop it from being an amazing time from start to finish. Early on I decided to try and grab a vid:
For my first experimental attempt, it came out pretty awesome if I say so myself. Learned a bit from it, so next time I'm out I'll be getting some more, and of better quality. Unfortunately, Michelle's attempt to grab one of me turned into a movie of her ear...so you'll just have to assume my run looked amazing.

Oh, I figured it out...I added The Knife music track, which YouTube's scan picked up. Since the labels don't want you to easily listen to it, the vid is blocked on mobile.

I have no idea what the team behind Youtube's mobile unit is thinking when they make the decisions that they do...something along the lines of:
'Hey....let's ostracize the most rapidly growing user segment across the world'

Was holding the phone in my hand, so mostly making an estimate as to where she was, with occasional glances her way. That's part of the reason I stopped filming at that point though, as I didn't want to risk wiping out and destroying my phone.

How does that work at the end where you turn around and are facing her instead of forwards.

I know why they chose the lead picI'd use that centerpiece too

I wouldn't expect too much from this project though. It isn't mentioned in the article, but they revealed that it is unlikely the project will get anywhere close to Wadsworth, with the focus starting at Main and going west until they run out of money, which they are certain will fairly quickly.

Nice Photos
Nice pictures. It makes me want to swim in the ocean someday.
That looks like Whole Foods to me. (e:paul) has you addicted.
Those are some beautiful colours! :-)
