I needed some nourishment while planning holiday menus. The first two glasses of champagne helped, nourishing my soul but not my belly. I had a tub of hummus in the fridge but thought better of simply eating it straight from the tub. No fancy glass of champagne would permit eating directly from a plastic container.
I placed a few dollops of the organic hummus in a bowl, doused it with olive and fresh ground pepper, almost calling it a day. I remembered the smoked pimento spice I had acquired recently and started dabbing it all over the slickened mush. Added a few rye toasts and felt pretty good that my glasses, or now bottle, of champagne would approve!
