A Book Blessing

Here's a quote that was inside a church cookbook I once had. Just thought you might enjoy it.

A blessing be upon the cook
Who seeing, buys this little book
And buying, tries and tests its wares;
And testing, throws away her cares;
And carefree, tells her neighbor cook
To get another such a book.

She considered six professions;
Any one would challenge life,
But she practiced them together,
So they called her 'just a wife.'
