My recipe for life

My recipe for life is just that mine, take of it what you will, and add all that is important to you as well.  Each ingredient can be used in moderation, or taken in large amounts, depending upon the desired effect you wish to obtain.  A recipe is only a guideline not a tablet etched in stone, and brings on a new meaning for each chief.   

So long as you approach your cooking with reckless abandon and know that with the sweet's the sour must follow for a ballance; you'll do just fine.
