Oh my. LUVS me some hummus, too.
Which, for some reason, also reminds me of how much I like pesto, as well...!

Can I say just how ECSTATIC I am??!!! 
Kudos to the mayor of Boston today, who refused to sign a document that would have backed his approval for the 2024 Olympics to come to the city! He said that not one dollar of taxpayer dollars would go into any overruns or miscalculations by the group(s) in charge. Basically, he listened to the state's residents--40% or less wanted the Olympics here. (The Olympic Committee won't even consider a venue that has less than 68% of the residents in approval.)
But for me and all my colleagues at work, it wasn't even so much the money, but the commuting nightmare that a major international event like this, would bring to an already over-crowded city, highways, etc. Rush hours around here are a nightmare to begin with.
I'll never forget the roadblocks, etc. when Boston hosted the 2004 Democratic National Convention. That made a commuting mess of the city, and you figure that's not even close to the size and scope of hosting the Olympics.
Oh happy day!!! No Olympics in Boston!!

Some of my favorite hummus is Basil Pesto Hummus and Sun Dried Tomato Hummus.

Look at my tops, they are never tucked in.....Mine all goes to the stomach. Doctor says that's the most unhealthy place to store fat.
Midlife is a common time to start storing fat in the stomach area. Happens to many people, and it's hard to lose it, but dieting helps a bit.

I wonder why there isnt a machine to make potatoes with zero lumps
I remember in my culinary act.. how much compressing and squeezing required to make proper french style mashed potatoes with herbs.
Must be something wrong with me--I rather like lumpy potatoes!!

Mmm...pesto yummy! Or to quote When Harry Met Sally: "Pesto is the quiche of the 80s."

Me, too! I like to chew my mashed potatoes a little.

There is. It's called a food processor.

Left the office a little early today since I worked through lunch to meet a deadline.
Quick! Someone call 911! Is there a doctor in the house??!!
@donaldtoo is "Jones-ing" from lack of sufficient food! 
He skipped LUNCH (his favorite meal at the office--often provided to him free of charge) to work through his midday, appointed meal time event, to finish a deadline project?
Hang in there donaldtoo, buddy, we've got the medical professionals you need on the way (after a quick snack)!

Sometimes, I can't explain it, but I actually get a craving to go to McDonald's!!
(Happens maybe twice a year!)

Well, I did like the fries (until I found out they used oil with beef flavoring) and apple pies, but never liked any of their burgers.

I like McDonald's Fries and McGriddles and that is about it.

OMG - how many boys do you have?
This reminds me of a kinda' funny story...
I'm one of 3 sons (we also have a younger sis), that are close in age.
My folks have a financial planner that was over at our house many times later in the evening during our growing years going over business with my pop at our dining room table.
Anyway, the company the planner works for recently threw the man an anniversary party and he gave a speech. During the speech he brought up the visits to our home during those years. Something he specifically remembered, was that, between us 3 boys, our refrigerator door never seemed to be closed...!!!

If there is another thunderstorm in the middle of the night that wakes my almost 2 year old baby boy and scares him I think I am going to lose my mind.

Same response from my dog! (He acts all tough, except when there's a thunder and lightening storm!)

at least you guys/gals get extended vacations..
once you enter the workforce full force.. you barely have time for silly things as "vacations"
I AM in the full workforce. I teach 7th, 8th, and 9th grade science. I am on summer break right now.

Yep, we burned it all off, too. We all played soccer, and were otherwise very physically active.

Our kids can't start until September 1st or after Labor Day (which ever is first), but our in-service is the last week of August. I teach older kids so I don't have as much room set up as elementary. I will probably go in to my room in a couple weeks and unpack the stuff I ordered at the end of last year.
