How to preserve a husband
As we were going through my grandmother's things after her passing, my wife came across a wonderful old composition book. It apparently belonged to my grandmother's grandmother and has just a few short pages. One of the pages is dated 1919. Another has a short treatise entitled "How to preserve a husband" which I share with you today.
- Be careful in your selection, do not choose too young
- When once selected, give your entire thought for domestic use
- Some insist in keeping them in a pickle, others are constantly in hot water. This may make them sour, hard and sometimes bitter
- Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good garnishing them with patience well sweetened with love and and seasoned with kisses
- Wrap them in a mantle of charity
- Keep warm with a fire of domestic devotion
- And serve with peaches and cream
