Rockstar Hummus

I’m not the kind of person that’ll pick up a tub of hummus and a bag of pita bread from the grocery store for a snack. Either the consistency is fucked up, needs more salt, more cow bell, more tahini… ect.. I don’t know!?! I can never find one that I really like.

But what I can tell you is when you see me self checkin out (don’t even get me started on that racket) with that watery can of chick peas & that bottle of pasty sesame goodness.. it’s about to go DOWN!!!
The MVP of this show is the fried chick peas & hot paprika oil to give it that extra razzle dazzle… you’ll see!
