This fresh, bright dip is perfect for a summer night. I love the addition of Romano and the ample crushed pepper which give the Lime Avocado Hummus a terrific depth of flavor.

Man, Orlando has had it tough this month. Far from the sadness is this upbeat tune from Orlando-based band Pathos, Pathos.

Check out Pathos, Pathos on the band’s Website. You can buy their music on Bandcamp.
