Food thoughts

Lately, I'm all about celery with red pepper hummus from Central Market. (Central Market is sort of like Whole Foods, but a little cheaper, and owned by the HEB chain.) Their red pepper hummus is the shit. Actually, so is their celery. I devoured a... head? stalk? bunch? of celery from there in like three days.
