Holy Falafel!

I have a new obsession with falafel that is cooked in the truck across the street from my building. I never considered myself to be the “street meat” type… but this lightly fried vegetarian mixture of mashed chickpeas, flavorful herbs & spices really hits the spot & keeps me full for hours!

The girls at my work love it just as much as I do; in fact one girl got falafel twice in one day when we worked late one night. It has gotten to the point where the falafel man knows each individual order and has it halfway ready as he sees us approaching the truck. Not only does he know what we want, but today he hooked me up with extra lettuce, tomato and sauce – that’s what I call service!

We are all on a streak of getting falafel with our regular home-made lunches as a side, leaving me stuffed like a turkey all afternoon. As I sit back in my chair with discomfort and lethargy, my co-worker and I have just decided it is time to give falafel a little rest… for at least a week.
