I'm carefully cultivating mine to be as bland and unremarkable as possible.

Good plan. You don't want the meat to overpower the sauce.

Tightly-folded bud,
I have wished you something
None of the others would:
Not the usual stuff
About being beautiful
Or running off a spring
Of innocence and love --
They will all wish you that,
And should it prove possible,
Well, you're a lucky girl.

But if it shouldn't, then
May you be ordinary;
Have, like other women,
An average of talents:
Not ugly, not good-looking,
Nothing uncustomary
To pull you off your balance,
That, unworkable itself,
Stops all the rest from working.
In fact, may you be dull --
If that is what a skilled,
Vigilant, flexible,
Unemphasised, enthralled
Catching of happiness is called.
