Cooking can be trial and error, depending on whether one has all the ingredients and whether the recipe can be trusted. Recently I found myself working from four different recipes to get a result I liked; my language was colourful to put it mildly as I struggled to work out what to do …
MAKING HUMMUS
should it be nineteen ounces 
or two cups of chick peas?
none of the recipes agree
on amounts or ingredients
so I try a third a fourth
none of them the same
by teaspoons or tablespoons
so I pick from one recipe or another
to create a version of my own
which tastes very good indeed
