He said, it’s not worth
your time to make that from scratch.
My whisk flutters on.

White florets burgeon
Atop thriving basil leaves.
Mind and prune with haste.

When kneading bread dough,
Be sure to punch it a bit,
Good old fashion fun.

Potatoes and cheese,
A panacea for days
Rife with gloom and rain.

Hummus comes from the
Latin word for ground and earth,
Land from which you came.
