HUMMUS IMPOSTOR
so i go to the new corner store on 17th and m (which has EVERYTHING) and i pick up Sabra go mediterranean hummus with roasted pine nuts. WRONG MOVE. something as simple as hummus should not have mixes of soybean and canola oil and, "seasoning and natural spices (what exactly is that?" and it really doesnt call for potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate. there are plenty of hummus is supposed to be healthy for you and not not have 5% of your daily allowance of saturated fat per 2 tablespoons.. there are plenty of hummus brands (anything trader joes or one of my preferred brands, Tribe) out there that dont have preservatives and refrain to the basic ingredients of chick peas, tahini, and olive oil-- some add garlic, or red pepper but its generally all in good taste.

- Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
