I love it when I make something from scratch and have enough left over to store some in the freezer. It makes me feel so prepared… so wholesome (which is excellent since “prepared” and “wholesome” probably aren’t the first words that come to mind when describing myself). It also makes me feel smart, because making something from scratch that you would normally buy jarred from the store tends to be much tastier, much cheaper, and much better for you.

My love affair with Middle Eastern food intensified after a long, miserable visit to Lynchburg, Virginia (of all places…).
