RECIPE FOR THE GOOD LIFE
check the recipe once
then do your own thing --
salt is the key
to make a meal sing
a cup and a dash
is the basic design
but sometimes a dish
calls for copious wine
and one must comply
if she is to eat
the night is still young
so...bon apetitt

Dear J,
Now that’s a recipe I would use! I really enjoyed the flair and joie de vivre! Great meter and fab rhyming.
I wish you all the best for this comp.

Thank you, Honoria. It seems to be my way -- shirk the recipe and wing it. Not always a perfect result, though.
