How to Preserve a Husband

This recipe was submitted by Emily Drake for a Recipe Collection. It was mimeographed, so the collection was assembled some time ago. Emily and Gordon had a very successful marriage of almost 64 years (minus 3 days). Now they are together again.

How to Preserve a Husband
Be careful in your selection. Do not 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 them 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.
