I think about a world to come where the books were found by the golden ones, written in pain, written in awe by a puzzled man who questioned, "What are we here for?" All the strangers came today and it looks as though they're here to stay.

Garden Fresh Mediterranean Hummus
I was in hog heaven when I lived in New York City because I could get Trader Joe's hummus for really cheap and all I had to do was spend most of my day standing in a line that wrapped around the entire store. But when I moved to Denton, and then to Fort Worth, and then back to Grand Rapids, I didn't have access to Trader Joe's. It was during this era that Garden Fresh Mediterranean Hummus sustained me. It would continue to sustain me if I knew how to exercise moderation when it comes to hummus. The other day Garret's mom brought a tub of hummus that she bought at Sam's Club and a package of sliced cucumbers to the beach and it was one of the most delectable treats ever. I felt like a vampire in the sun sustained by fairy blood. There are some things that are so good you need to put it on your grocery list. Garden Fresh Mediterranean Hummus is good enough that you have to make sure you don't buy it, because otherwise you'll never stop eating it.

Dietary Staples: Summer 2010
Without the following food items, I would not have survived the summer of 2010 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
1. Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Poptarts
2. Cookies
3. Garden Fresh Mediterranean Hummus
4. Leftovers
5. Meijer Lemonade
6. Whole Grain Bagels
Now I just need to work out a way to make my shirts and pants fit like they used to.

Mediterranean Grills
Hidden in a strip mall in Cascade Township, Mediterranean Grills is one of the best restaurants in the greater Grand Rapids area. The restaurant is owned and operated by Ashtin Raad, an incredibly entertaining man who will give you your money worth just in entertainment. Boy, the conversations I have had with that man...
But on to the food. I'm not the kind of guy who normally orders an appetizer, but it's fairly difficult to pass up Raad's amazing hummus. As for the main course, I strongly recommend the Kafta, lamb or beef wrapped with hummus, parsley, tomato, onion, and tahina sauce. Any entree can be made spicy. I definitely recommend this option. Mediterranean Grills has some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever eaten, and it's in such a humble location in West Michigan.
