Default So, how do *you* do that?

When somebody asks for a recipe for something I've made that they really
like...my answer is always, "I don't really have a recipe" - and that's the
truth!

Best I can do is write out something with "guidelines"...

When the rfc Cookbook was being collated a few years ago I really wanted to
submit a recipe, but I simply could not construct a recipe. And this was
for potato salad, something that is not all that complex...
