I do NOT live upon wine! I live upon lentils, chickpeas and eggplant, and the wine is just to wash it down!

Yikes! With a diet like that only do you need the wine to wash it down, but to forget about your sorrows of having eaten.

I didn’t mean to imply that you did live on wine. I don’t eat very much in the form of solids, so I do live on beer, however.

Cheerios and Chablis is an acquired taste, but not bad.

LOVE IT!!!

You MUST be Lebanese but probably don't realize it!!!

M'Juderah is one of their most popular dishes. It is made from lentils, caramelized onions and rice. Babaganoush is a spread made from cooked eggplants and tahini, with garlic of course. The chickpeas are a mainstay in the middle eastern diet - felafel (mashed chickpeas, garlic and seasonings, formed and deep fried), hummous - chickpea spread with lemon, crushed garlic and tahini ... I could go on and on. You should invest in a Lebanese recipe book ... no, wait! Our parish plans to put one out in the near future. I'll send it to you once it is printed :-)
