From the interview with poet Charles Simic in this week's New York Times Magazine:
Q: What advice would you give to people who are looking to be happy?
A: For starters, learn how to cook.
We hope you are happy and cooking this weekend. Here are two poems by Charles Simic: "Cafe Paradiso" and "Crazy About Her Shrimp".
I am so happy and cooking up a batch of pork rubs in the slow cooker. This weekend I also got ahead on making baby food for my son. My freezer is well stocked with flash frozen organic purees! I get great satisfaction out of making our son's food.

wait, what to cook to be happy? or what cooking makes you happy? or simply what to do to become happy?
cooking: something from your childhood. Ask a grandparent for one of their grandparents' recipes.
to cook: crisps...simple, sweet, not too involved.
to be happy: evaluate your state of mind. What's on your mind? what bugs you? where do you want to be? and what is in your way? if it's you, go see a professional...really it's not a cop out.
