Food or documentation?

Personally, while I've found plenty of documentation for good recipes, I've 
never found a good recipe for documentation.

Documantation is dry and dusty stuff. Granted ir usually comes pre-sliced in 
many thin sheets (thicker sheets, if on floppies or CDs), but usually a good 
sauce- perhaps your peperade, Adamantius?- would tend to ruin it. After all, 
how is documentation best served? By being readable, for one thing, and any 
sauce you might serve it with would make that difficult, whether by covering 
the letters, or by jamming up your CD player, or your disk reader.

So, how then to serve it? It's still rather dry and dusty. Would boiling help 
it? I don't think so. It would boil the letters right off the pages, and warp 
the diskettes and disks.

How about roasting? Or braising? Again, same problem.

Now, butterflying might work, if you butterfly it on your counter, and leave 
it there when you serve the food.

Me, I think I'll serve the recipes, and leave the documentation in the 
kitchen, for my own enjoyment.

Cook's privilege ;-)

Getting old? Beats the Hel out of the alternative.

The purpose of life is not to arrive at the grave, a beautiful corpse, pretty 
and well-preserved, but to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally 
worn out, proclaiming, "Wow! What a ride!"
