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.
More proof that I am aging:
-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!

Ground beef oatmeal…hmmm…you might be on to something there, Davida! This product might sell like hot cakes and you will make millions – enough to pay for the invention of a voice activated journal that will also help you with your memory problem! And while you are at it – maybe you could also fund the invention for a scratch and taste monitor – so I could get me a taste of dishes such as this pistachio hummus! 🙂
Now this sounds wonderful! Hummus is one of my favorite things, and as much as I love pistachios, I rarely buy them because they’re so expensive, but this recipe is totally worth the splurge!
I swear my vision gets worse everyday. Like it’s not normal. I am blind. Legit. Hopefully this fab looking hummus will cure all my woes!!!
I am all about day time parties! Night = rest and sleep
YUM YUM YUM!!! That looks sooo good!
I frequently forget me actual age… I think I’m 21? Usually I can pass for 16, since I never pay adult fare on the TTC (shh!)
I can be such a grandma, especially when it comes to weekend social events. What makes it worse is that I like to knit and sew. If I described myself without my age people would probably guess I was 80 or something. I love pistachios! it is a shame they are such an expensive nut but this recipe sounds totally worth it!
Embrace the grandma within. She’s a hottie with a body! 🙂
I watch The Good Wife too…BUT I’ve watched it since I was a youngin’ staying up all hours of the night living in Madrid. So I think I have a free pass. Only you would put pistachio in hummus, but that’s why we love you, because I’m sure it works. Every time I think of pistachios, I think of Kourtney and Lamar.
I’m not sure what I would think of pistachio guacamole but pistachio hummus sounds awesome.
Sometimes I feel super young but then I’m around people in their early twenties and I’m reminded that I’m actually almost 30. haha
