This hummus is not at all authentic, but it is delicious.  The flavors are bright and bold, yet all play off of each other perfectly; everything balances, and even though sesame, red pepper, garlic, and lemon are such strong flavors and therefore an ambitious mix, the harmony in this "rec… Read full post »

So my best friend just posted the following meme on his non-OS blog.  I found it intriguing and thought I'd follow suit.  Here's how this works: someone (my homeboy) sends me five questions to answer; I'm posting the answers here.  Then, I ask readers to comment by reque… Read full post »

Here it is, ladies and gents of OS--a curry that will unclog the SHIT out of your sinuses and give you a good immune boost as a bonus.  Clinically tested (n=5) and unanimously agreed to taste better than cough syrup, Dymetap, or either of the -quils.  Comfort food it's not so… Read full post »

So this 25 things about me thing...here goes.
