My mileage certainly does.

Whenever I make hummus, I hear Leila Abu-Saba's voice in my head. Back
when I was foodblogging regularly I made Ranee's and posted about it. I
got a comment from Leila that was "oy, why hers and not mine?" and she
went into her way. Very similar but more lemon.

I did it her way next time. I liked it.

I don't usually put cumin in mine, though. That's my "little goes a long
way". Again, YMMV.

(Now I hear Ranee saying "Hummus means garbanzo beans" when I pull the can
o' beans out. LOL.)
