When my husband and I order from our favorite Lebanese joint the centerpiece of the meal isn’t the chicken shawarma or the mixed grill for two but the potent garlicky toum sauce. Despite my desperate pleas for extra toum they never pack more than three 2-ounce containers of the stuff. I ration the precious substance carefully but my husband mindlessly drinks his container and a half and descends on my share forcing me to recalibrate each of my smears and scratch hysterically at empty containers.
