I genuinely think I might be aging pre-maturely. Basically I’m the female Jack. Anyone else remember that movie? This post solidified my belief that I am aging and my memory is going. Let’s recap…
I tried a great pistachio hummus at a restaurant in NYC but myself and my friends agreed it could be better. So I made it my mission to recreate it at home. I went and picked up the ingredients, asked you guys on Facebook what you like with hummus, made the dish, photographed it and even wrote the post. Then as I was reading over the post it hit me, we were at a Mexican restaurant, why in the world would they be serving hummus?
Only then did it occur to me that we tried pistachio guacamole and not pistachio hummus…whomp whomp.
-I consistently complain that some body part is hurting me.
-I am up all night. Does it make sense that I associate old age with insomnia?
-I get excited when parties call for an early start time so I can get to bed earlier (not that I sleep…)
-I watch The Good Wife…such a Mom show.
-Hot flashes. Enough said.

The list could go on, but until I’m in a diaper I’m still in the clear, right? Well if my premature aging results in pistachio hummus instead of pistachio guac, then I guess things ain’t so bad. The day I start posting ground beef oatmeal is probably when you should seek some help for me. Until then, enjoy the hummus!

April 23, 2014 at 11:08 pmI just pinned this duhhhh. Love pistachios. Before we were friends I tried making your pistachio butter and failed horribly. I think I got bored waiting for it to process. Oh well, maybe another time. ANYWAY you know I’m basically a 16 year old meets an 80 year old in a 25 year old body. I wish I slept more. JK I need more hours in the day… to binge watch tv of course.

I love hummus any which way so this looks deeeelicious. Maybe a pistachio guacamole will be coming soon. 😉

I like when parties start early too! I have trouble staying up late sometimes. I definitely don’t feel my age anymore!
