Flavor with frequent portions of recreation and a dash of happy memories. Stir well, and remove any speck of jealousy, temper or criticism. Sweeten with generous portions of love, and keep warm a steady flame of devotion. Never serve with a cold shoulder . . . or a hot tongue. Finally remember this prayer: "Teach me this, O Lord, to know that true love is caring and sharing." AND ADD TO THE ABOVE A GOOD BOWL OF SOUP.
