The Evi Recipe
This recipe is delicious, unforgettable; and for those who have tried it, unrepeatable.
The flavour and appearance is subtle, natural and instinctive, it’s always just so… right.
For a warm summer day, or a cold winter’s night, when you’re in a buoyant mood, or feeling down and out, the Evi recipe always just flows into the occasion.
Ingredients:
* Brightness and warmth: it doesn’t matter how big your bowl is, just fill it with easy, completely natural cheerfulness.
* Generosity of spirit: don’t limit yourself on this, the Evi recipe requires the bowl to overflow with an unforced willingness to help out; join in and pull your weight. If you have too much, then just fill another bowl.
* Smiles and laughter: when the mood is good, keep the level topped up; in adversity, create a good reason to smile anyway, but don’t force it, just let it bubble to the surface.
* Understanding of the mood: essential, but you’ll need to be quick to catch slice of this.
* Easy and natural common sense: plenty required for this recipe to bind it all together.
* Courage: don’t confuse with fearlessness; it’s rarer and more difficult to obtain.
* Optimism: can be difficult to get hold of and justify; but anyway, keep looking till you’ve collected a good armful of it.
* Sharpness: you may need a pinch of this to deal with insincerity and over-inflated self-importance.
Method:
* Take an attractive bowl, not over-decorated; just tastefully and subtly coloured.
* Pour in the ingredients - don’t worry about mixing together; the perfect blend for the occasion comes out all by itself.
* Above all, remember:
“Life is not about sheltering from the storm,
It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
