Recipe
I was looking through some old handwritten recipes of my Grandmothers. They were in a little book and it still had her maiden name on it, and one page was dated 1924. I had an idea for my Mom to use copies of them for a craft project. If she does do it, I'll show you.
Anyway I found this recipe for "How To Preserve A Husband". She didn't write it and I found many references to the recipe online, although couldn't find its origin. Anyway, it gave me a little chuckle.
Can you imagine if young girls read this now?
How To Preserve A Husband
Be careful in your selection. don't choose too young. when selected, give your entire thoughts to preparation for domestic use.
Some wives insist upon keeping them in a pickle, others are constantly getting them into hot water. this may make them sour, hard and sometimes bitter; even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good by garnishing with patience, well sweetened with love and seasoned with kisses.
Wrap them in a mantle of charity. keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devotion and serve with peaches and cream.
Thus prepared, they will keep for years.
