E tu, Sesame?

Apparently, I have developed a sensitivity -- dare I say, allergy -- to sesame. Lately, I've discovered that when I eat something with sesame, shortly thereafter, I have a hard time breathing. Not good.

The killer is that I love sesame. Sesame seeds make such a great finishing element for appetizers, and tahini, or sesame paste, is a key component in hummus -- one of my absolute favorite foods.

But I guess that makes one more thing off-limits for my diet, and I won't be serving hummus-cucumber appetizers with black sesame seeds as a garnish anymore.
