Fame! Fortune! Hummus!

When I was younger (and not by a whole lot) I wanted to be renowned: Beitiathustra: the brilliant [insert here]. Gifts of wisdom would be passed down to the community of knowers, and my fame would be eternal. Now of course this was a pipe dream - and motivated by hubris. But I have, accidentally discovered my intellectual gift to mankind this afternoon after Mass. I have discovered:
THE PERFECT SANDWICH!
I'm not kidding. This is my gift to man. I started by frying a half pound of bacon. While that was cooking, I sliced some mushrooms and diced some onion. In a separate pan, I sauted them in butter. While this was going on I grated some cheddar and pepper jack cheese. Then toasting some bread, I gave a liberal spread of Trader Joe's Three Layer Hummus. Placing the cheese on the hummus, the sauted onions and mushrooms on the cheese, and the bacon (all hot and drippy) on the mushrooms, I flattened it enough to fit in my mouth. I had to say grace twice before biting into the sandwich, God was deserving of so much thanks. I need not reiterate what the results were. And, as my brainchild, my gift, has finally seen the light of day, I can go back to killing my brain with beer.

Disagreements

As a maker and lover of sandwiches, I salute you. The very design of your creation bespeaks the genius of its author.

I don't know if it compares to butter cooked bacon quesadillas, but that was another time....

My arteries are clogging up just reading this...

Oh, there were the cheeseburgers Chastek and I made in the dorm we lived in in Texas. . . That would make arteries clog, hearts palpitate and add ten pounds in fifteen minutes. But was it good. . .

I may have to try this.
