If you have had a hard time watching the news lately and are feeling rather despondent about world affairs, discovering how people are invoking positive change amongst the chaos, can help restore our confidence in human beings. One notable example is an Israeli cafe, called the Hummus Bar
, who is currently offering a 50% discount on hummus, to Jewish and Arabic patrons who choose to share a table with one another. The offer was made in hopes of bringing people together and to demonstrate that not all Arabic or Jewish residents support the wave of terror that has recently escalated in Israel. Can hummus lead to world peace? I don’t know, but I do know that it’s a start and I am a big believer that small steps can make large impacts.
Mejadra is a delicious comfort food popular in the middle east. Made with lentils, basmati rice, aromatic spices and crunchy friend onions, this comforting delicacy will quickly make your worries dissipate. If you are anything like me and the word lentils sends you running for the hills, have no fear, these lentils are well spiced and heavily camouflaged by the rice. Add some yogurt and a fried egg and we’re talking a household staple good enough for breakfast and dinner.
Feel like spreading a little peace and love around this beautiful-crazy world? Start by breaking bread with others. Invite a lonely neighbor over to dine. Drop off this delicious meal to a new mom or a sick friend. These small acts of kindness can and do shift our collective consciousness. Lets come together folks. We don’t have to line the streets with picket signs (though that’s great too), lets just take a moment and share some kindness with one another – I guarantee we can all make a difference.
