Thanks for using my hummus picture- it looks like it is supporting a good cause here! Your site is great; my grandmother actually has Alzheimer's and is in an assisted living home. Fourtanetly, she is happy and lighthearted and not withdrawn like so many other Alzheimer's patients.

I have a few more Mediterranean recipes up on my blog : http://cindalouskitchenblues.blogspot.com/ like Mediterranean Grilled Eggplant and Veggies, Greek Lamb iwth Roasted Red Pepper and Kale, and Black Bean Hummus. All of my recipes are gluten (mostly dairy) free, which I hear helps the body heal from many degenerative diseases. Oh, I also moved to Slide rather than Flickr, so all my new photos (updated daily) are on Slide if you get a chance to look again.

Thanks again, keep up the good work!
