Return of the Hummus

Today I found myself missing the Middle East for, well, pretty much the first time since I left a year and a half ago. Jerry and I are trying to eat better, and so we bought some pita and hummus. I haven't even wanted to eat this stuff because it reminds me of being horribly sick and pregnant when we lived in Jordan. But, finally, that memory has faded and I am really loving hummus and pita again.
Although it wasn't nearly as good as it is in Jordan, (does anyone know how to make or get FRESH pita? Every time we buy it, it is stale)

Anyway, I'm glad that I can finally focus on how much fun we had, and the good times instead of the bad from our time in Jordan.

Now all I need is a warm Diet Pepsi, in a can, with a straw, and I'll really feel like I'm back in the Middle East

I don't know how to make fresh pita, but I bet they would have a recipe on allrecipies.com. I really like to eat hummus now also. Costco has some really good hummus, but it is in a really big container (I tried to finish the whole container and failed). Though I am glad that our middle east experience is now far enough away that you can think positively about it.
