Eating Greek-ish

I'm gonna live forever!  Well, no, but you would think so by reading those goofy Yahoo News non-news items.  I exercise several times a week, follow a generally healthy diet full of olive oil and vegetables, and get 8 hours of sleep a night thanks to my child free life.  However, my joints hurt due to years of volleyball and dance.  I've read that turmeric helps with joint inflammation and at this point I am will to try any sort of snake oil the travelling side show wants to peddle to me.  Today we are going to have a light and civilized meal of chopped vegetables, homemade ricotta, the apricot and ginger bread from The Tipsy baker blog and turmeric yogurt hummus.  Throw a can of rinsed canned garbanzos in the blender with 5 oz of greek yogurt, a teaspoon of turmeric, teaspoon of cumin, and salt to taste. Throw in a tasty salad of greens that my neighbors asked me to pick from their garden while they are on vacation and it's a dinner that will guarantee pain free joints and immortality.
