Taste Test: Store-Bought Hummus

Not sure if President's Choice is available in the US but we have it in Canada and it's fantastic. Creamy and delicious. It comes in plain or roasted garlic. For those of you in Vancouver there is also a fantastic place on Commercial Drive that makes the best Hummus EVER. It's the Mediterranean Deli near 5th. I can eat the whole tub.

What 3 foods are always in your refrigerator?

Anchovies for pizza, kalamata olives for any number of dishes, eggs coz I luv em. There are many more regulars because I'm obsessed with have things in the fridge so I can whip something up quickly if I have to but these three are muy importante.

Question of the Day: Mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, or a soy alternative?

Hellman's then Japanese mayonaise. A friend bought me a Costco size jug of mayonnais for my birthday once as a joke. But I ate the whole thing! I'm inLOVE with mayonnaise!

Question of the Day: Do you have food allergies?

I'm allergic to wheat, barley, oats, rye. I can eat small amounts of dairy if I'm completely wheat free otherwise it kills me too. I'm also a vegetarian. Try going to the pub with that combination!
PS I love to eat everything so this sucks.

Question of the Day: What surprises your friends most to hear that you make yourself?

I make these wicked homemade rumballs that have a 26er of rum in them and all kinds of other yummy things. They cost a fortune to make and are time consuming. THAT surprises people. They wonder why I don't just buy them!
