but i love tuna fish. and i've gotten tired of tuna fish plain and tuna fish with vinegarette. so what i've been doing is making my own, very mild hummus, and using that as a mayonnaise substitute. it tastes really delicious, and adds actual nutritional value while subtracting the empty fat calories of mayonnaise. i've been trying to think of other foods that could use hummus as a mayonnaise substitute. my tuna fish salad recipe is: 1 can of tuna 1 large rib of celery, finely chopped 1 tbs dill relish 1/2 tbs spicy or grainy mustard 2-3 tbs homemade hummus mix well. my for-tuna hummus is different from my regular hummus. the for-tuna hummus is: 1 can garbanzo beans (only drain about 1/4 of the liquid out) 1/4 cup tahini 2 garlic cloves 1 tbs lemon juice (or juice of 1 lemon) dash of salt little splash of olive oil put it all in a blender and spin it for about 90 seconds. when i ran out of tahini and the store was closed, i used a spice grinder to grind up sesame seeds until it was almost a butter. it wasn't awful, but i won't do that again. |

also, this article on recent obesity research is interesting. |

i was beaten with mayonnaise as a child. no, i think i was scarred by mayonnaise in sushi. that's just not right. every time i try to eat something w/ mayonnaise in it, it tastes like i'm eating something that's been sitting in a big bowl behind the prepared foods counter at a supermarket. |
mayo has protein! good for you! whenever i make some with with mayo, i always take the last spoonful to my mouth. |
it has like 80grams of fat per spoon, but thats why its so damn good. |
|
i use hummus as a spread on lots of sandwiches and dip. it's good with carrot, cucumber, pepper, tons of stuff. also so good, toasted pita, tahini, rooster sauce and lots of parsley [or tabbouli!] |

it's weird to think that a virus can cause the body to store more body fat more easily. but i guess if a virus can cause cervical cancer, it's not that hard to believe a virus could help promote obesity or weight gain. |

so what you're saying is, celery makes you throw up? |
They have made a scientific breakthrough concerning this. They have discovered how to trigger the T cells to activate. This will be a major breakthrough in treating HIV, and also cancers. They are concerned because at this point they are not able to regulate it, and fear that it might throw the body into overdrive, triggering auto-immune diseases. This is very exciting news. I think v should eat more celery. I have to go ex-foliate now. |
