Hummus and other food adventures

This week, I took a big step outside of my eating comfort zone. I went with a group of co-workers for lunch to this Mediterranean restaurant.

It is a HUGE thing for me to share my lunch break with others. It is my me time in the middle of busy days.

Anyway, I decided to go with them and be adventurous.

The menu featured items such as Falafel, Shawarma, Tabouli and

Baba Gannoush.

These things I had seen in magazines and on tv but not in real life.

It was overwhelming. While I wanted to try something new, I was

bit leary. I didn’t feel comfortable eating lamb. And not because I

thought it would taste bad but because lambs are soooo cute. I am

by no means an animal activist but I tend to eat unattractive

animals like cows, chickens, turkeys and fish.

I considered Dolmas, which is grape leaves stuffed with seasoned

rice. Finally I went with the restaurant version of a caesar salad. It

was different from what I had ever ate. I have had a caesarsalad

before but this was different.

And for dessert, I had baklava. It was an interesting experience.

My coworkers had a variety of dishes. Overall, it was a great

experience.

As an appetizer, I had some hummus. It was pretty good. As I write

this, I am snacking on onion rings and dreaming of the Krispy

Crème doughnut sitting beside my keyboard. Krispy Creme are the 

best doughnuts especially hot!

I am glad that I am at a point where I am able to try new things

with ED yammering too much in my ear. It is a daily struggle but

so worth it.

DAILY DOSE
