by Susan Tepper


Ingredients:
1 cup long hair
tsp of tea (British blend)
3 generous strips silk ribbon
Wire whisk
Cloves
Saucepan
Sifter
2 eggs
White candles
Fresh lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

                                    *

Set the table in advance using a nice cloth.  
Put out your best white candles. 
Blanch cloves in a saucepan on slow heat.  
Drain the cloves. 
Take a bath in scented clove water then shower for double cleanliness.
Rinse your hair with the fresh squeezed lemon. 
Towel dry. 
Slice off enough hair to fill a porcelain cup
add a teaspoon of tea
and place on the dresser to cool.  
Wind strips of silk ribbon around yourself fashionably. 
Salt and pepper to taste. 
Sift the loneliness. 
Using the wire whisk, beat the adultery with 2 eggs.
