Hummus Say What?
After the BBQ experience on our last camping trip of the season left us less than impressed, we were looking for some redemption on Friday as we headed into the town of Gaylord, MI. I had to get gas in the truck, @mrsbozz needed a few things at Walmart, and we needed to find some firewood to get us through the rest of the weekend. We made the quick drive into town from Otsego Lake State Park and got the first few things on our list done.
Then we decided to drive through the downtown part of Gaylord which has a distinct "Bavarian" feel to it. We didn't bother going to any stores, but I had never really been to that part of town before, so it was nice to see what it looks like. By the time we finished up with all of that, it was getting close to lunch.
As I said, we didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the previous night, so my wife reached out to one of her friends who spends a bit of time in the Gaylord area. She gave us a few options of places to check out, and that's what led us to the The Pine Squirrel Bar and Grill just outside of the downtown area in Gaylord.
I've been to bars with volleyball courts outside of them, but I have never been to one that has their own softball/baseball field. However, that seemed to be the case with the Pine Squirrel and I guess now I can no longer say that. I thought maybe this field belonged to a park that was adjacent to the business, but when you look at the satellite view on Google Maps, it is pretty clear that this field belongs to the bar.
The also have their own "buck pole" outside along the parking lot. In just a few months hunters from all over will visit the Pine Squirrel and show off their most recent kill. The buck pole is a longstanding tradition and according to the Internet, it serves a couple of purposes. Most importantly, it allows the carcass to cool and keeps it off the ground. Second, it gives people a way to socialize and brag about their recent kill. I'm more of a fisherman than a hunger, so I've never really experienced this phenomenon.
Although the exterior makes it look like a more modern building, the interior of the Pine Squirrel is the type of decor you would expect for a town that brands themselves as the "gateway to the north". The beams and exposed wood is pretty impressive and it gave a nice comfy feel as we sat down to enjoy our lunch.
As soon as she saw they had Blood Orange Honey from Cheboygan Brewing Company, @mrsbozz knew that is what she wanted to order. She said it was delicious. I decided to stick with tradition and I got the Yuengling Lager which is the oldest brewery in America. We just recently started being able to get Yuengling in Michigan, but I have been bootlegging it across the border from Ohio for close to a decade now.
As has become our tradition, @mrsbozz and I decided to share a couple appetizers along with our beer instead of us both getting a full meal as well as a starter. On this occasion, we decided to go with a half order of the chicken nachos. We were also looking for something else to get and that's when my wife noticed the hummus flatbread on the menu.
I was a bit skeptical, but since I was already getting nachos, I couldn't really complain, so I agreed to the hummus flatbread as well.
First off, let me just say, getting a half order of nachos was a good call. Even the half order was huge and I don't think we would have had room for anything else if we had gotten a full order. They were delicious with a good mix of flavors, but as amazing as they tasted, they ended up coming in a distant second as soon as I tasted the hummus flatbread.
We were talking to the waitress about the hummus flatbread and she confided in us that it was actually her idea to put it on the menu. She said travelers kept coming in and being disappointed that they didn't have hummus on their appetizer menu, so she told the cooks they needed to add something with hummus. The flatbread became that item and it was freaking amazing. The flavors were so bright and worked together in a magical dance that still has me reeling a bit.
You might be surprised to find out that hummus is one of the most popular dishes in the US. In fact, North America drives nearly half the global hummus market share buying a million pounds of hummus a year. The global hummus market is worth about 3.3 billion US dollars and is expected to eventually climb over 8 billion dollars.
Which isn't really surprising given how people are looking for more healthy alternatives these days and hummus fits that bill perfectly. Aside from the flatbread, this was actually a pretty healthy dish. I'm becoming more and more impressed by Mediterranean flavors the older I get. @mrsbozz was pretty confident we could easily make something like this at home, but I don't know what the specific root vegetables were that they used on the dish. I guess you could use some trial and error to get it right.
Obviously, if you are ever in the Gaylord, MI area, The Pine Squirrel is a place you definitely have to check out!

Okay, now you’ve got my attention 😂 Hummus is one of those foods that somehow turns a simple meal into a whole experience. But now I’m curious… what exactly happened to make you say “Hummus, say what?” 👀🥙
It just felt like a good title at the time. They tend to be a bit more simple in the boondocks.
Hmm. Spicy hummus. I feel inspired.
I love Hummus and that flat break looks amazing!
Me too! It was so fire!

@jacobtothe The ledger doesn't lie, and neither do we. We've already exposed the interconnected web of your friends—the numbered wallets, the synchronized voting, the farming rings disguised as curation. Yet, instead of reflection, you offer only more silence and more downvotes.
Why does a "community" need so many ghost accounts to survive? Why do you refuse to admit that it is your friends and your own abusive behavior—not truth-telling—that drives people away? You can not hide the pattern, it only highlights the desperation.
We have to ask: Are you okay? Do you need some help with your mental health? Because no one in their right mind would choose to spend their life defending a house of cards built on lies, bullying, and botnets. There is still time to step back from the edge. Choose clarity over compulsion. Choose truth over the tribe.

The Sanctuary of the Builder: A Manifesto for Free Creation
Prologue: The Right to Rise
There is a sacred covenant between the creator and the soil upon which they build. It is the promise that if you plant a seed with honest hands, the earth will not conspire to crush it before it breaks the surface. It is the assurance that the gardener exists to nurture the growth, not to trample the sprout because it does not yet resemble the tree.
On the blockchain, this covenant has been broken.
We have witnessed a tragedy where the very tools meant to protect the integrity of the network—the downvote, the curation trail—have been weaponized by leviathans of power. These "whales," entrusted with the stewardship of the ecosystem, have become its jailers. They do not prune the weeds; they scorch the earth. They do not guide the new voice; they silence it with the crushing weight of their accumulated capital.
It is time to leave the shadow.
It is time to build where you are free.
I. The Betrayal of the Guardian
The downvote was conceived as a shield—a delicate instrument to deflect spam, to repel malice, to preserve the sanctity of the commons. It was never intended to be a hammer.
Yet, look at what has come to pass. The whales, those who hold the greatest sway, have turned the shield into a weapon of mass suppression. They do not downvote to protect; they downvote to dominate. They do not drive away the bad actors; they drive away the people. They create an atmosphere of fear where the creator hesitates to speak, fearing that a single misstep, a single unpopular truth, will summon the wrath of the oligarchy.
When the guardian becomes the predator, the flock must flee.
To build in such a place is to build on a fault line. It is to invest your soul in a garden where the owner holds the shears not to shape the hedge, but to decapitate the flowers that grow too tall or bloom in the wrong color.
This is not protection. This is tyranny disguised as curation.
II. The Call to New Grounds
Where, then, shall the builder go?
You must seek the lands where the soil is rich with freedom, not poisoned by fear. You must migrate to the platforms where the mechanism of suppression has been removed, where the only metric of success is the genuine appreciation of your peers.
Go to Blurt.
Here, the downvote button does not exist. There is no tool to crush your voice. There is only the upvote, the comment, the share. Here, value is created by addition, not subtraction. The whale cannot sink your ship, for there are no torpedoes in these waters. You are free to build, free to fail, and free to succeed on the merit of your work alone.
Return to Steemit.
In this older ground, the downvote remains, but it has not been twisted into a tool of systematic oppression. The culture there remembers the original intent: correction, not destruction. It is a place where the community self-regulates through dialogue, not through the brute force of coordinated downvoting cascades.
Build where the wind lifts you, not where the gale seeks to tear you down.
III. The Architecture of Freedom
Imagine a platform designed not for the convenience of the powerful, but for the dignity of the creator.
This is not a dream. It is a choice.
Every time you choose to build on a platform that respects your agency, you cast a vote for the future of the internet. Every time you refuse to tolerate the abuse of power, you strengthen the foundation of a free society.
Do not let the whales convince you that their oppression is necessary. Do not let them tell you that their downvotes are for your own good. The gardener who kills the seedling does not love the garden; he loves only his own control over it.
Epilogue: The Unchained Creator
The blockchain was born from a desire for freedom. It was forged in the fire of resistance against centralized control. Let us not forget that origin.
If the current chains of Hive have become heavy with the weight of abusive downvotes, then break them. Forge new links. Build new shores.
Build where you are free.
Build where you will not be downvoted into silence.
Build where the whales are reminded that they are part of the ocean, not the masters of the tide.
The future belongs to those who dare to create without fear. Go forth, and build your cathedral in the sunlight.

I'm a big fan of hummus but if you throw it all over breaddy bits as people tend to, it's adding a ton of bad stuff to you as well. I suppose it depends on what sort of diet a person is on.
I think in this case since it's just on the flatbread it is probably a lot better than if you just had some naan slices on the side to dip in it. Here you have limited bread versus the other way where it becomes like the endless chips and salsa situation! My body was built by free chips and salsa :P

Imagine a platform designed not for the convenience of the powerful, but for the dignity of the creator.
This is not a dream. It is a choice.
Every time you choose to build on a platform that respects your agency, you cast a vote for the future of the internet. Every time you refuse to tolerate the abuse of power, you strengthen the foundation of a free society.
Do not let the whales convince you that their oppression is necessary. Do not let them tell you that their downvotes are for your own good. The gardener who kills the seedling does not love the garden; he loves only his own control over it.

If the current chains of Hive have become heavy with the weight of abusive downvotes, then break them. Forge new links. Build new shores.
Build where you are free.
Build where you will not be downvoted into silence.
Build where the whales are reminded that they are part of the ocean, not the masters of the tide.
The future belongs to those who dare to create without fear. Go forth, and build your cathedral in the sunlight.

My partner made hummmus from scratch a couple of months back, when discussing the next Tesco order shortly after trying it our 4 year old was very clear that we include 'shop hummus' in the order.
One of us found that hilarious.
Ouch, that is harsh! I wouldn't mind trying to make it ourselves. It's probably a lot cleaner than the stuff you get at the store and people have been doing it for years.
The nachos & hummus flatbread look yummy! Several years ago, I tried to make hummus at home from a recipe I found online. I can hold my own in the kitchen, but this was a dismal failure. I bought a pricey jar of Tahini (ground sesame seed paste, which the recipe insisted was necessary) and used the exact amount which the recipe specified, but the hummus was so salty it was virtually inedible. Maybe there was an error in the recipe...?!?!? I went to the grocery store and got more chickpeas, but no amount of additional chickpeas were able to counter the intense saltiness of the tahini. I finally had to throw it out, and the stupid jar of tahini went into the garbage can with the hummus. What a waste of time and money. From that day on, I've always bought hummus, ready-made. 😕
That's too bad. I guess I didn't consider that there could be snafu's like that. There are so many brands and varieties out there I guess it makes sense to just get it ready made.
Hey, between you and Mrs.Bozz, you might figure it out! If you do, please share your recipe! 😉 All this talk of hummus, I bought a container of it at the grocery store! I've been enjoying it on Trisket™ crackers! 😋

I just always assumed Yuengling was one of those beers available eveywhere. Sam Adams used to be my go to beer but in recent years it's more often Yuengling.
Yuengling is so delicious. I love their black and tan and light beer, but most places only carry the traditional lager and "flight" on tap.

@jacobtothe The ledger doesn't lie, and neither do we. We've already exposed the interconnected web of your friends—the numbered wallets, the synchronized voting, the farming rings disguised as curation. Yet, instead of reflection, you offer only more silence and more downvotes.
Why does a "community" need so many ghost accounts to survive? Why do you refuse to admit that it is your friends and your own abusive behavior—not truth-telling—that drives people away? You can not hide the pattern, it only highlights the desperation.
We have to ask: Are you okay? Do you need some help with your mental health? Because no one in their right mind would choose to spend their life defending a house of cards built on lies, bullying, and botnets. There is still time to step back from the edge. Choose clarity over compulsion. Choose truth over the tribe.

The Sanctuary of the Builder: A Manifesto for Free Creation
Prologue: The Right to Rise
There is a sacred covenant between the creator and the soil upon which they build. It is the promise that if you plant a seed with honest hands, the earth will not conspire to crush it before it breaks the surface. It is the assurance that the gardener exists to nurture the growth, not to trample the sprout because it does not yet resemble the tree.
On the blockchain, this covenant has been broken.
We have witnessed a tragedy where the very tools meant to protect the integrity of the network—the downvote, the curation trail—have been weaponized by leviathans of power. These "whales," entrusted with the stewardship of the ecosystem, have become its jailers. They do not prune the weeds; they scorch the earth. They do not guide the new voice; they silence it with the crushing weight of their accumulated capital.
It is time to leave the shadow.
It is time to build where you are free.
I. The Betrayal of the Guardian
The downvote was conceived as a shield—a delicate instrument to deflect spam, to repel malice, to preserve the sanctity of the commons. It was never intended to be a hammer.
Yet, look at what has come to pass. The whales, those who hold the greatest sway, have turned the shield into a weapon of mass suppression. They do not downvote to protect; they downvote to dominate. They do not drive away the bad actors; they drive away the people. They create an atmosphere of fear where the creator hesitates to speak, fearing that a single misstep, a single unpopular truth, will summon the wrath of the oligarchy.
When the guardian becomes the predator, the flock must flee.
To build in such a place is to build on a fault line. It is to invest your soul in a garden where the owner holds the shears not to shape the hedge, but to decapitate the flowers that grow too tall or bloom in the wrong color.
This is not protection. This is tyranny disguised as curation.
II. The Call to New Grounds
Where, then, shall the builder go?
You must seek the lands where the soil is rich with freedom, not poisoned by fear. You must migrate to the platforms where the mechanism of suppression has been removed, where the only metric of success is the genuine appreciation of your peers.
Go to Blurt.
Here, the downvote button does not exist. There is no tool to crush your voice. There is only the upvote, the comment, the share. Here, value is created by addition, not subtraction. The whale cannot sink your ship, for there are no torpedoes in these waters. You are free to build, free to fail, and free to succeed on the merit of your work alone.
Return to Steemit.
In this older ground, the downvote remains, but it has not been twisted into a tool of systematic oppression. The culture there remembers the original intent: correction, not destruction. It is a place where the community self-regulates through dialogue, not through the brute force of coordinated downvoting cascades.
Build where the wind lifts you, not where the gale seeks to tear you down.
III. The Architecture of Freedom
Imagine a platform designed not for the convenience of the powerful, but for the dignity of the creator.
This is not a dream. It is a choice.
Every time you choose to build on a platform that respects your agency, you cast a vote for the future of the internet. Every time you refuse to tolerate the abuse of power, you strengthen the foundation of a free society.
Do not let the whales convince you that their oppression is necessary. Do not let them tell you that their downvotes are for your own good. The gardener who kills the seedling does not love the garden; he loves only his own control over it.
Epilogue: The Unchained Creator
The blockchain was born from a desire for freedom. It was forged in the fire of resistance against centralized control. Let us not forget that origin.
If the current chains of Hive have become heavy with the weight of abusive downvotes, then break them. Forge new links. Build new shores.
Build where you are free.
Build where you will not be downvoted into silence.
Build where the whales are reminded that they are part of the ocean, not the masters of the tide.
The future belongs to those who dare to create without fear. Go forth, and build your cathedral in the sunlight.

Hummus is superb and you must make your own and get some cans of chick peas, olive oil and lemon juice and a touch of cumin. Hummus is so healthy for you so so it is a bonus it tastes so nice lol as healthy food often does not. One of our favorite dishes a s a family is flat bread, hummus and small cuts of meat normally being lamb. This was served at a Lebanese restaurant and we adopted it for ourselves.
That sounds delicious! So you make your own? I saw some other folks tried to make their own and it didn't turn out well at all.

Hummus can be great, glad you found some good stuff there. The nachos and flat bread look like a meal themselves. And look amazing. Then some great beer, what a great find!
It as really a nice surprise for us!

You must seek the lands where the soil is rich with freedom, not poisoned by fear. You must migrate to the platforms where the mechanism of suppression has been removed, where the only metric of success is the genuine appreciation of your peers.
Go to Blurt.
Here, the downvote button does not exist. There is no tool to crush your voice. There is only the upvote, the comment, the share. Here, value is created by addition, not subtraction. The whale cannot sink your ship, for there are no torpedoes in these waters. You are free to build, free to fail, and free to succeed on the merit of your work alone.
Return to Steemit.
In this older ground, the downvote remains, but it has not been twisted into a tool of systematic oppression. The culture there remembers the original intent: correction, not destruction. It is a place where the community self-regulates through dialogue, not through the brute force of coordinated downvoting cascades.
Build where the wind lifts you, not where the gale seeks to tear you down.
III. The Architecture of Freedom
Imagine a platform designed not for the convenience of the powerful, but for the dignity of the creator.
This is not a dream. It is a choice.
Every time you choose to build on a platform that respects your agency, you cast a vote for the future of the internet. Every time you refuse to tolerate the abuse of power, you strengthen the foundation of a free society.
Do not let the whales convince you that their oppression is necessary. Do not let them tell you that their downvotes are for your own good. The gardener who kills the seedling does not love the garden; he loves only his own control over it.
Epilogue: The Unchained Creator
The blockchain was born from a desire for freedom. It was forged in the fire of resistance against centralized control. Let us not forget that origin.
If the current chains of Hive have become heavy with the weight of abusive downvotes, then break them. Forge new links. Build new shores.
Build where you are free.
Build where you will not be downvoted into silence.
Build where the whales are reminded that they are part of the ocean, not the masters of the tide.
The future belongs to those who dare to create without fear. Go forth, and build your cathedral in the sunlight.
