16 Foods and Drinks That Trigger the Urge to Go

I've had a lot of trouble this summer with longer trips and needing to take pee breaks. Usually my problem is eating a lot of watermelon or zucchini -- such delicious summer delights, low calorie but also packed with water. But I never though of acidic fruit as also trigger for needing to find trees for bathroom breaks, apparently lemons and lemonade I've been drinking along with peaches and other fresh fruit can keep you looking for a place to go pee!

Made some awesome hummus this morning. 🦹

The key is really to boil – simmer the heck out of chickpeas so they’re quite mushy, and to blend the tahini and lemon well before adding the chickpeas and a reasonable amount of aquafaba (chickpea’s water used for boiling – just enough to avoid straining the food processor motor). And then ample olive oil, sea salt and garlic. And run the food processor a lot!

I will bring the hummus up to camp for dipping, along with the cooked chickpeas I didn’t use in the hummus and save them for mixing with blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and walnuts for a good treat up at camp. Probably get carrots for dipping in the hummus on my way up to camp, as I did celery for a workday snack this week.
