Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Ive never tried hummus. What exactly is it? What brand of soy crisps do you eat? I got some gensoy ones this time because the kroger i went to didn't have the michael season's ones I normally buy. They're not so bad; but the Season's ones are much more crunchy.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 , As I understand it, homice is chick peas that are made into a paste and used as a spread on crackers or anything like it. I know that they can be seasoned with almost anything too. I really like chick peas and when they are cooked and mashed, I can imagine that they would be really good because they are high in protein and low in fat. Lin 422-3398-250 Lhsh@...

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I feel the same way when I look in the mirror.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I might have to renew my sam's card and see if they have a better deal on the soychips. They're a bit expensive at Kroger. Almost $3 for a little bag. I'll look for some hummus and try it. W 380/257/160 Mike wrote: > There's a couple of brands at Costco.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I am not sure about that. I think that when they are heated, they turn like an orange color. Lhsh@...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I emailed a friend some pictures for him and one of my best girl friends... so that he could share with her since she didn't have a picture phone. He forgot to show them to her and she was flipping through his pics on his phone and found my pics, he said she didn't even recognize me... she was all mad at first wondering who I was an such. I won't let her live that down, I have known her since Junior High School LOL! It felt AWESOME! Mike Tune tune1552@...> wrote: , That is SO AWESOME!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 If it helps any, they are also called Garbanzo Beans. kind of the size of a small grape before squashing, and rounder. it has kind of a bland gritty flavor. Some people have trouble with the texture, others can't get enough. Donna in VA LAP RNY 9-18-06 315/255(still)/171 Re: Holiday HELP they're sort of a light beige. The ones I have are flavored and colored like their flavors...tomatoe basil is reddish orange and garlic herb is sort of pale orange.
