Life's Recipe

My life includes some of the best recipes
as well as those which may be considered
less than choice or tasty. I am the chef of
cuisine, baking deliciously in the ovens of

my dreams. Over time, I have selected
scraps and pieces which were less than
prime, while artfully seasoning that which
by some standards may be considered not

so appetizing and savory. Along the way,
I have acquired a taste for the bitter and the
sweet, dabbing a dollop or two of butter or
cream to enrich most any fare. It doesn’t

take a lot to make this life of mine seem
more palatable. I carefully measure my
spices mostly by the teaspoon, you see,
while using a pinch of this and a dash of

that to season my dishes more appetizingly.
And often, I’ll pound repeatedly with fierce
intensity to tenderize life’s toughest cuts of
meat. Has anyone left room for dessert?
