better for you chick {pea} salad sandwiches

Compared to chicken salad sandwiches, this is better for your health, better for your budget (chickpeas are 50 cents a can), and of course better for chickens. I served it with naan, but you can put it in a wrap, on plain bread, in a pita... whatever. I made a double batch and plan on eating the leftovers for lunch during the week.

this irks me

has anyone else noticed that when dads watch their children, the wives tend to call it "babysitting?"

or when the dad does a load of laundry the wife posts about how AMAZING he is and how sensitive he is for "helping her out?"

seriously people. he's not babysitting. do you call it babysitting when you are home caring for your own child?

no, because watching your own child is NOT babysitting. and i feel sorry for women who react to their husband helping with household chores as if they just witnessed their husband turn the baby's bottle into wine or started walking on the bathtub water.

thank goodness my husband is not like that.
