How To Cook A Husband

A humorous account of how to prepare a proper husband …
"A great many husbands are spoiled by mismanagement. Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders, and blow them up; others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze, by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew, by irritating ways and words; others roast them; some keep them in pickle all their lives. Now it is not to be supposed that any husband will be good, managed in this way - turnips wouldn't; onions wouldn't; cabbage heads wouldn't, and husbands won't; but they are really delicious when properly treated.”
“It is a good cook that makes an appetizing dish out of poor material, and when a woman makes a delicious husband out of little or nothing she may rank as a chef.”
