  1. Oddly, the domain "ifuckinglovehummus" appears to be available in virtually every TLD.

  2. Random #bitching...

    I like #hummus. I happened to be at Sobey's and decided to get some, though it's not where I usually buy hummus. They had this brand, "Fontaine Sante" (sorry, I can't type diacritical marks), and I bought the roasted red pepper "classic natural hummus". It's this one:

    fontainesante.com/en/products/

    It has the usual ingredients you'd expect - chickpeas, tahini, garlic, salt, lemon juice, oil - plus the roasted red pepper. Nothing unusual there.

    And it's ... awful. Not only does it not taste like any hummus I've ever had, it actually tastes downright unpleasant. I'm going to end up throwing the nearly-full container in the trash, and I *hate* wasting food. And no, it's not past its best-before date or anything like that. It's fresh.

    I feel bad, because it's a Canadian company, but this stuff is inedible. The brand I usually buy is Sabra, but they don't carry that at Sobey's, plus it's American. I can eat their stuff by the pound.

    Anyone familiar with this Fontaine Sante brand? Is it always like this?

  3. Here's another super useful example of two Hebrew words with different meanings that differ only in the syllable stressed, and how one can help you remember the other:

    Syllable stressing in Hebrew is much more than a linguistic detail; it can change the entire meaning of words. That is why, in my “Practically Speaking Hebrew” course, we dive into these essential pronunciation nuances using my PSP (Phonetic System for Pronunciation). By mastering stress patterns and how sound them effectively, you avoid confusion and communicate clearly with precision.
