Favorite Fast Foods
I’m all for slow cooking, within reason. There’s a chicken place near where I live that has become one of my regular to-go spots. They serve a garlic sauce on the side, along with hummus, pita bread and pickled beets. No wait, no dishes to wash and it’s delicious.

A nicely-made garlic sauce is heaven on Earth.
I default to shawarma, especially after physical activity. If I’ve been out running errands on a Saturday, I might stop at an umbrella cafe for a sausage loaded up with olives, cheese, hot peppers, sauerkraut (followed by several pieces of strong gum).
But for shawarma/Lebanese is my favourite.
There’s a sausage place that I adore in downtown L.A., but it means I have to get in the car (and wait in a long line.) I love that the chicken and garlic sauce are a few blocks from my house.
Oh, perfect day for this post. I was just thinking on the way into work that I didn’t have much to cook for dinner tonight. And I’m dealing with a few things right now and really want to take good care of myself and eat well (as opposed to standing in the kitchen eating tuna salad, which I am prone to do). I know exactly what Lebanese chicken place I’m going to hit up on the way into work. And they have a TO DIE FOR garlic paste (toum) that incidentally was featured today in the WashingtonPost. It’s wonderfully mellow and mild compared to most garlic paste, but does pack a punch. Perfect for a single gal!
And yes, I’m posting about what I’m having for dinner and its not yet lunch time here 🙂
Great to know that garlic paste is called toum. Hope you had a great dinner!
