from my kitchen to yours

as i was perusing sharing our best: recipes from the first baptist church of woodville ladies circle, a cookbook my coworker peg brought in for me, i ran across the following recipe:

Happiness Cake

1 cup good thoughts
1 cup consideration of others
2 cups sacrifices for others
1 cup good deeds
3 cups forgiveness
2 cups well beaten faults

Mix thoroughly and add tears of joy, sorrow, and sympathy. Fold in 4 cups prayer and faith to lighten all other ingredients and raise texture to great heights of character. Flour into daily life; bake with the heat of human kindness. Service with a smile any time, and it will satisfy the hunger of starving souls.

if i were going to bake a happiness cake, i'd have to add the following ingredients:

• 1 cup grey goose cosmopolitan
• 3 cups good sex
• 1 tsp. money that magically appeared in my bank account
• a pinch of brand-new slutty dolce bathing suit
• 1/2 cup ten hours of sleep
