I agree, vegetables are good for the body, also the soul, but becoming a vegan would be going too far! πββοΈ

Looks delicious β so fresh. I’m a grazer; I could eat like this all day! Best hummus we ever had was at our favorite restaurant in Montauk called the Clam and Chowder House β a sprawling casual spot right on the water. Due to a variety of reasons, including COVID, we haven’t been to Montauk since 2018 after 30+ years of summer vacations. I really miss the place. Some day we’ll go back! π«
