I usually prefer the green in cooked stuff but I have some freeze dried red
ones that I am trying to use up. They work quite well in a red sauce
because they blend right in.

I have never tasted Ranch. Not that I could because it contains both eggs
and dairy. It just smells awful to me so I was never tempted. Never had
blue cheese either. Not even when I ate cheese. Angela likes them both but
I don't think the Ranch would be allowed on the South Beach diet. Perhaps
she could just use guacamole.

Oh joy! Another wacko storm rolling through here. This is the third time
we've had lightning and thunder this summer. But no hail this time. Just a
brief rain shower. I did lose my Internet briefly though.

Any dip of your or Angela's choice works well instead of chips or totilla
chips. Hummous or any of the other israeli salad inn the containers. I
would think even peanut butter or other nut butters, but they are quite
fatty. Chopped liver, probably seem yukky to you, but it is a great
favorite in my house or vegetarian liver, which is sometimes available in
thoe Sabra packs.

What is Israeli salad in containers? I don't think it is something we can
get here. I've never seen chopped liver here either. We don't eat Sabra
because it contains soybean oil and I have only ever seen their hummus. I
have never heard of vegetarian liver. I don't think we have that here
either. I also can't imagine peanut or any nut butter on peppers. Celery?
Yes, but not peppers.

Odd Wikipedia calls Hummus a Levantine Arab food. You know, like taboule.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummus>
It's bad enough that Zionists are stealing Arab lands, without taking
their food too.
