Spicing It Up

the long version

How to cook up the perfect seduction: Take 1 twentysomething chef (brown hair, small cup-size), freshly plucked from a stale relationship and very dubious about her own powers of attraction (Miriam Scott, for example). Reserve. Stir 1 yummy, tall and handsome man gently on low, being careful not to bring to a boil (Dylan Kincaid, if available). Chef's Tip: Too vigorous use of the spatula must be avoided. Save it for working out your upper arm -- and hostilities, too! Take reserved girl and season with a dash of confidence and a generous pinch of attitude to taste. Just before serving, garnish with a sleek new hairstyle, fab wardrobe and dust lightly with makeup. (Chef's Tip: For best results, do not overdo!)
