Today's mission: Buy ingredients at Wal-Mart to make our own hummus.
We arrived and with the help of a friendly Wal-mart employee, quickly found the majority of the ingredients. However, our quest was halted when we came upon the final ingredient: Tahini. "What is Tahini?" you ask. We didn't have a clue. According to Google Translate the word "tahini" is the same in English and Spanish, so we went relying on the fact that a trusty Wal-Mart employee would know. After "help" from 4 different employees and being directed to rice, spices, and oil, we found our way to the imported food section. And after at least a half hour of searching, we found it! It was conveniently located directly next to another familiar food. Hummus. We debated for about 30 seconds on whether to get the Tahini and complete our plan to make hummus OR to buy the delectable-looking pre-made (in Lebanon) Hummus. Finally (after the 30 seconds) we grabbed the jar of hummus and skipped to the register, pleased with our decision.
(Carrots, Coca-Light and Yogurt were also purchased, helping us to save money. And live better.)
